I am so sorry you had to come here but glad you found us....this is such a wonderful and caring group of people. I've only been dealing with this for a year now and I'm on my 3rd round of meds to see what might help. It's a long process for me so I just have to set my mind on getting this done and moving on to the next thing but still hoping the next thing is the one that gives me some of my life back

What meds are you on now ? Did they refer you to the same neuro you saw in 2010 ? I can't be of much help but others behind me can probably give you some good info. My symptoms are 24/7.....on and off all day long....burning, numbness, stinging, tingling...etc.....started in feet then hands....now in upper right arm and in both legs and arms at times. Very frustrating to deal with but we have to keep going

Please give any additional info that you think might be helpful for others reading your post.

Take care and keep us posted....WE care !

Hi Debi, sounds like you are a very strong person. Thank you for your positive words and encouragement. I really appreciate it.

I am booked for a brain MRI in two weeks and supposed to see the same neurologist that I saw in 2010. I hope she listens and will help me figure this out. It's been six week (longest time with lasting symptoms) Feeling so fatigued, weakness, tingling, numbness and my legs won't go as fast as I want them to so walking like a turtle at the moment and just waiting to snap out of it like all the other times. So'ooo frustrating. I'm not sure why it won't go away and is lasting so long. No treatment yet because not sure what my problem is. I'm hoping it's a pinched nerve or something that is fixable. Just trying to keep living normal and tryiing to keep a positive attitude but it is very hard some days because I feel everyone is staring at me when I'm walking and that upbeat energetic person is gone. Grrrrr
