Default Should I be panicking yet?

First I'm using dictation software so sorry if there's any punctuation mistakes or just general Bad typing.

I can barely move both of my hands and I'm starting to have problems doing certain things that everybody has to do. (TM I, Don't ask) You find out who your true friends and relatives Are when you can't use both Hands.

I'm walking really Weird and I don't feel good. Should I be panicking yet or should Wait Until tomorrow and pretty much call my Dr. and scream at him then?

I don't want steroids but I want my hands Back.

The fact that my hands are numb, and i can barely move them And my neck hurts,My low back hurts, and I'm having problems walking. feet are a little numb

I'm just having problems dealing with This. It sucks

Hi Erin

Don' t panic - it doesn't serve any purpose, but if I were you, it would scare the cr@p out of me.

If you can make it through to call your doc, that's fine - otherwise, go to the ER. It seems to me that you need help sooner rather than later (although this scenario is foreign to me).

Hugs

Lyn

I slept about four hours last night. My hands are still numb, I'm still having problems with my dexterity. It's making me get a panicky feeling.

I did talk to a neurologist yesterday, although he wasn't my neurologist,(Because my neurologist is always out of town when I have a flare) And I felt like He didn't care. I asked if there was a medication for the Neurologic pain in my hands and he said no. (I can't take Neurontin or Lyrica.) He just didn't seem concerned.

am I somehow wrong to be freaking out About my hands Being numb? Or should I be really concerned about this? I thought that if the symptoms interfere with your Daily life That it was something to be concerned About

I have only known about my MS for about five years, I think I'm still New at this. I don't know what to do When I get a flare like this. I just feel sick, And I'm tired of it

I'm newer at this than you, so I don't really have advice to offer just sympathy. If it were me I'd be trying to see someone asap if I could though.

The earliest anyone can see me is Monday

I may call my regular doctor and see if he can help me. At the very least I can go up and see him and see if I have an infection somewhere that might be causing this.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this voice recognition software. I'd be really frustrated if I had to actually type all thisWith numb hands. I just don't understand the random capitalization of words that don't need to be Capitalized
