Deb, it lasted about twenty minutes.

Thanks for the info...I have had tingling/numbness from the waist down for about the same amount of time the last week or so...but it was on both sides, and it went away.
Hope you're doing well...

My blood work came back as totally normal, so I guess it was just another blip on my MS radar. I love my PCP a lot, and I'm glad he tests before he prescribes anything. Now if he'd only not keep me waiting for well over an hour with every appointment, I'd be happy. I find if I get the first appointment of the day I have a chance at getting out of there in a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise I might not get out of there for hours!

I'm so glad to hear all your tests were "normal", Marion!! It's a pain having to get all of them, but at least now you have peace of mind and can chalk it up to another strange thing from MS....

I would go into the dr. right away. better to make sure, ginnnie

So glad to hear that all was normal....whatever that is for us!! It's always better to be safe than wish you'd done something after the fact. I'm also glad he didn't just prescribe something that you really didn't need before getting the blood test results back. MS is so tricky....and so different for every one of us. What might be considered "normal" for me might really be a problem for you. Guess we'll keep those doctors in business one way or another!

I just got out of the hospital with TIA. My husband and i were on the army base at the px. He looked at me and asked me if i was ok and i asked him why? He said the left side of my face was drooping a little. I told him i felt strange, i had pain in the lower left side of my head and my face felt funny to touch it. Then my eye started rolling up in my head only the left eye and kept on constantly blinking. By the time i reached the hospital i had a full blown mini stroke. i had echo grams, and ekgs, and mri and cat scan. Now i can hardly talk or see out of my left eye or side of my face. But good news is this will pass and i will be pretty much normal. unfortunately, most who have mini strokes will go on to have full blown strokes and possibly die if life style changes are not made. i quit smoking immediately. Full blown strokes are resulted from blood entering the brain and most paralysis is final. But with TIA, it is a preclusive warning of what will come if you don't change diet, exercise and quit smoking like yesterday. You know your body better than anyone even a dr. so if you feel weird. Don't chance it people get to the E.R. like yesterday.
