Call your neurologist tomorrow. Tell him/her what happened. You might be having an exacerbation and the neuro will decide whether or not you might need steroids.

I have never really had a exacerbation per se, my symptoms just slowly progressed. But yes, thanks, I will give her a call tomorrow.

I thought the same as you, and mine started in October. I just thought it would pass but here it is almost March and still the same. I am numb from scalp to fingers. Saw my Neuro yesterday and he is scheduling 3 days of IV steroids next week.
Basically my neuro said, Ms is so unpredictable, anything is possible. I too have never had a exacerbation and everything has been slowly progressive. So Im hoping this Steroid thing will help. Good luck. |

Even though you say your SP it sure sounds like you could be having an exacerbation but.....
 I have had my fair share of what your experiencing except I can't say I have ever felt paralized but my legs have barely worked at times. And yes it can scare the hell out of you. In my case, I get my legs back.

I would definitely call the neuro. I would explore the option of steroids and also PT. You would be surprised at what a big help PT can be. I credit my year + of PT in combination with pulse steroids and Baclofen for returning most of my mobility to me.

The fact that you were suffering from fatigue prior, I'd say you're having an exacerbation, Cat.......But, you say that this symptom comes and goes ..Hmmmmmmm???
I'm glad you are going to call your Neuro. Let us know what happens, OK? Feel Better..
