As some of you may know, my nanan had MS since she was 38 years old (she's sadly passed away now).

My mum was having symptoms like your sons at the end / beginning of this year. She had numbness in her hand for weeks and kept feeling dizzy and fatigued.

I begged her to go to the Doctors but she wouldn't listen. She's kinda stubborn like that ... wont tell anyone she's ill but complains if I wont, lol!

After a few months thankfully, her symptoms lessended and at the moment, they have gone completely. She has said that she will go to the Doctors now if they return ... think it scared her especially with my nanans history.

I do hope your son feels better soon. Most of my family on my mums side have a neurological condition (I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Nanan had MS, Uncle had Parkinsons disease etc) so it does make you wonder if they could be hereditary.

Try and not worry ... i'm sure it's easier said than done! I agree with what the others said, get your son to visit his Doctor ... better to be on the safe side!

Take care and let us know how things go!
