Both of my legs went numb in 2003. I remember waking up and thinking mmmm....this feels weird. I could walk but it felt like my legs were asleep (both of them). Pins and needles feeling but that subsided within a few days but the numbness was still there. Thought I had pinched a nerve.

By the time I had made an appt with the doctor, was seen, referred to another doctor, etc. the sensation had gone away. I figured it had resolved itself and went on about my business.

Fast forward to October 2005 I had a BAD bout with diplopia (double vision). Bad to the point of me not even being able to stand up without assistance.

That was what earned me my dx of MS. I was relieved - it was actually a joy to receive that dx. I had done Internet research and concluded that I had a brain tumor. Luckily, it wasn't. MS was my preferred dx because everything else I found that it could have been was much worse.

I have numbness in my right hand/arm now. My whole right side went numb in October 2007 (3 months ago). Now it's down to basically just my hand but it's MUCH better and getting better every day. My fingers are affected the worst right now but I can write and type easier than I could at first.

Your numbness, Greenjeans, sounds like classic MS to me but I am no doctor. What does your doctor have to say about it?
