I woke up today really really numb. More numb than I had been earlier this week. (my butt is so numb, going to the bathroom a few minutes ago was...interesting) It's mostly down my right side, and it's really really uncomfortable. My right leg is weak and both legs feel really tired.
Is this something that I can wait till tomorrow to call my neuro in a panic, or should I call him in a panic today at his emergency number? I'm also dizzy today, and just feel really bad.

For what it's worth, my opinion is always that if you wonder whether or not you should call, you probably should.

I just dont know if I'll get my regular neuro, or one of the other guys in his office. Not sure what they'd do for me other than listen to me kvetch (complain) about it and then tell me to call tomorrow for an appointment.
It's just annoying when things like this come on over the weekend. It's not like it just hit me this morning, it started friday afternoon (after the neuro's office closed) and has been building up all weekend. Not even sure if I want the neuro to Rx me some steroids, or if I just want to complain about the whole thing because I'm uncomfortable and irritated that this happens every year now. He'll probably offer me steroids, and I really dont want to do those, but if they offer them, I know I'll take them because I'm a big baby and dont want to sit and wait for this stuff to go away on it's own (if it's going to go away at all)

4 more hours till I can call my neuro.
Started having signs that I've got an infection a little bit ago. (well, that would explain a few things...) Had no clue there was any infection in the area where I think I have an infection. No symptoms at all until about an hour ago. (back pain, pain in another area, the fact that I keep having to go potty) wish I could sleep!! At least there's a few people on Twitter with MS who will talk to me a bit when I cant sleep. I can feel a small invisible boa constrictor setting up shop and trying to hug me over the left side of my ribcage. I hate those invisible boa constrictors. I need a snake handler to come get it. think I'm going to go cry and try to curl up into a ball on my bed and hope sleep happens.

I got about 3 and a half hours of sleep. I guess I can call that a nap.
I'm waiting for my neuro to call me back. I already got an appointment to get checked for a UTI later this afternoon. Feel like crap this morning. Right leg was really really really stiff when I woke up. It still is. Last night when I was trying to put sweatpants on, it felt like I couldnt control my foot very well to get my leg into the pants. Before I fell asleep, my right foot was so numb that it hurt. Like a really achy pain. I cant describe it well. It just hurt. I'd love to go back to sleep, but our cleaning lady is going to be here in about a half hour so I dont really see the point of sleeping. Plus the neuro hasnt called back yet, if I stay awake, I'll be able to answer his questions and tell him what's going on, hopefully without forgetting anything.
