Finally!!

I have been having pain and weakness in my lower back and legs for a couple of weeks now, and could not get in touch with the rheumatologist. My gp had given me 5 days worth of prednisone, and was trying to reach the rheumatologist, too!

I, finally, got through to the rheumatologist and am being seen tomorrow! Wooohoooo!

The last few days I have had the oddest sensation in my back, kinda like someone is running their fingers across the skin. BUT instead of tickling it hurts, like an electrical current!

Anyone experience that before? If so, what was it?

P. S.

The picture is of my two daughters and my future son-in-law! This was taken just before Dallas shipped out for the Navy!

Keep us updated, I have a lot of weird sensations, weakness, and have for awhile, even before diagnosis. They've never found a reason for mine. I just made an appointment with my neurologist again, to go over everything. Again.

I am pretty sure the neurologist is my next stop, this is crazy!

I find it crazy making they can tell me nothing about it! I still have weakness and tingling/numbness on my left side. But I’ve had 2 MRIs now. Please keep us updated on what you find out.
