Hi everyone.... My arms/neck/ hands and finger tips started getting super tingly along with the random electric shock sensation today. my arms are ice cold. All of it is worse on my right arm. I have been more tired the last week or so.
I should add in that single parenting teenagers has been pretty stressful recently, but today in particular, there are somethings that happened that really upset me.
Am I having a relapse?
I'm sorry to hear. I always tell my ms specialist things because I have hard time knowing if relapse and he tells me it is constant symptoms that do not get better with anything minimum of 24 hours. Hopefully your ms Dr can help. I hope you feel better soon
You should check with your doctor but when I was still working (as a high school counselor) I would quite often get those very symptoms you are describing when I was having a particularly stressful time. It would help sometimes if I actually shook my arms as if something were on them. Another thing that helped me was the "eagle arm" position used in Yoga. I hope this soon passes for you.
Have you totally recovered from Covid? It could be a relapse with all the stress of having no power and you been unwell, have a word with your doctor. Take care 🤗
I am good as far as COVID goes, but yes stress has been off the charts. The tingling has lessened over the evening but is still there. I’ve never experienced a relapse since diagnosis, so I only have the big initial attack to go off of.
I had similar symptoms in the past but they progressively got worse and ended with some permanent loss of sensation in my hands. I initially thought it was the cold weather as it was winter.As others have mentioned it might be what is called a flare rather than a relapse. Flares can be be caused by anything that puts stress on the body such as infection or emotional distress as well as body temperature changes.
I would still report it to your neurologist and also find a way to help reduce your stress level. Easier said than done I know with teenagers in the house. Keep in mind they are likely having their own emotional issues knowing what you are dealing with and probably don't know how to deal with it. Maybe some family counseling would help everyone sort through the emotions and teenagers often respond better to an outsider than a parent when getting advice.
Praying for you 🙏
What I can offer is support in way of also having 2 teens @ home. Virtual school, wacky high school sports season, not able to see friends etc.They can be super helpful! But they also can’t fight like crazy! And with it being two boys it can get physical 🤦🏼♀️
Do you remember that Calgon take me away commercials?
AND NOW ANOTHER RELAPSE

Can a relapse be 100% emotional?
