All of what you've described are "Sensory Symptoms" (see following link, under that sub-title), and often occurs as a result of spinal lesions. The feeling like "is not part of my body" is called "Proprioceptive Dysfunction; Loss of awareness of location of body parts": http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/mssymptoms.html Since this is a new (or worsening of old) symptom, and has lasted longer then 24 hrs, it is an attack. What should you do? That is really up to you and whether you would normally try steroids for a flare-up such as this. I just ride it out, and it normally takes from 4 - 12 weeks clear up. Sometimes it gets much worse (including more parts of the body, stronger sensations, etc.), and sometimes it just stays where it is for several weeks. If it gets worse or you get scared about something, don't be shy to ask. I know this experience all too well. ![]() Cherie
