Yes, stress can be a MAJOR problem for us, and definitely does stir up symptoms for me.

Try to rest as much as possible.

Cherie,

I also found your response to this post very interesting. I don't really have the severe symptoms that Kelly describes but while substitute my legs went numb by 12 noon and I was afraid of even having to get up with my crutches.

Same pins and needles for some time there after.

Thanks for the link.

I've had the electric shock you describe, but it was in my wrist - I could touch it, and a shock would run up my arm.

For a while, both my right arm and my right leg were numb-feeling, but i could still use them. (Felt like they'd been novocained.) It's gotten a little better, but my right arm is still weak.

Now I've got spasticity in my right arm and leg, so when I use my right arm for anything strenuous, it carps out and then cramps up! At least it's just my arm.

As for what to do... I just waited it out! I learned to use my left hand for most things, as the right is unpredictable. (Except for writing - haven't figured out how to use my left hand for that yet.)

So sorry Kelly. Sending you hugs from Utah! (Okay, they're COLD hugs, but if you want a warm one, you'll have to come for a visit!!!)

Hope you get some help & answers soon.
