Default Suggestions??

My left hand has been numb since last week. It's getting worse tho.

Weird part is, the index finger and thumb feels fine, it's the pinkie and ring finger that are the numb, weird feeling ones. The numbness runs down the ulna side of my arm.

It really itches on the forearm, and my hand is starting to really hurt (pain from the wrist into my middle and ring finger). Typing is getting interesting. Any suggestions on what to do about the pain in the hand? I'm pretty sure I'll just have to deal with the numbness, or go get some more steroids, but it's numbness, altho my fingers feel really weird when I move them. I know numbness is kind of a benign (ha!) symptom and you should save the steroids for the big stuff like vision problems and paralysis.

I'm just bummed out. I crochet and knit to keep sane, and it's driving me insane trying to crochet or knit with a numb hand.

Geeze, why does MS have to be so $%^&*ing annoying?????
