Numbness started about 4 years ago, don't remember the details but had some numbness that lasted a week around my mid area (had a lot of slurred speech this time and "loss of word") and hands going numb a lot.


Dec. 28th 2007 when to the ER for left hand numbness, shortness of breath, major fatigue (I got winded and light headed just from talking.

Jan. 1st 2008 when to the ER for numbness from the lower ribs and down (both legs), still having the above going on. The leg numbness stayed for 2 1/2 days than I was numb just around my mid area and than the next day my left leg was numb for 2 days than just numb on left hip for a day.

Dec. 27th got a burning pain in left hip, hurts to even just touch the skin.
Jan. 9th pain area has gotten bigger.
Jan. 12th pain area is now most of the hip.
Jan. 24th pain area has gotten a little smaller but still hurts the same.

Mx7, are you going in with all of those symptoms listed? That is a huge list to give to a doc. My honest suggestion, is to list the top 3-5 that are bugging you the most. Document your history in as short of an explanation as possible, and let it roll from there. I imagine that would be a lot for a Doc to take in at once. I could be totally off, though.

I also agree that a MS specialist is in order. Have you called your local NMSS yet? That is how I found mine. He is great!
