Watching DBF talk to me made me ill this afternoon - ended up laying on the floor right where I was! He talks with his hands and his head was going side to side - got so dizzy I just layed right down on the floor where I was. Watching the typing on the computer is also not very good! :eek:

I have a hard time with the new sx - they scare me at first.... at first last night I thought maybe I was having a stroke but my face was drooping at all, just numb.

Nothing about that sounds fun..I may tease AMN, but she's right..I hope you talk to your neuro tomorrow. Maybe there's something that can be done to help..?:hug:

YB-how are you feeling today? :confused:

I am experiencing those same sx today. I always describe them to others as feeling drunk. That is the best way to explain it. Sometimes mine last for a day, sometimes they last for months. Hopefully you get some relief soon :o

I wish I could just take them away from you! The new sx are scary when they first appear! Just make sure you let you neuro know.

No change this morning, I have called the neuro just waiting to hear back from him.

Char, I hope you're feeling better today.:hug: New symptoms can be scary. I had the same symptoms you're describing about a year ago.

Started with vertigo/dizziness.....feeling light-headed. Then tingling/numbness on my right side........cheek, chin, lips, tongue, the inside and outside of my ear. My arm, leg, and foot were tingling and numb.......but not completely. Just patchy. These were new symptoms for me as well. My neuro prescribed IVSM with a taper. Symptoms were gone after five days and my MRI showed no new lesions.

Take care and (easier said than done) try not to stress. Hope you hear back from your neuro soon.

that is just how I am feeling - it is patchy not the complete right side.... my arm feels cold today but when I have someone feel it, it felt the same as the other...

I am really frustrated today...

I am having a tough time today as well. It is worse today, not really sure why. I always have a tough time in April. I chalk it up to the weather, when the temp changes so much from day to night. I have no stress right now, other than a new puppy and getting no sleep, maybe that is it, no sleep.

This is the craziest disease, drives me bonkers. My mom would say just go to bed earlier! She still doesn't get it. That is why I usually never complain to anyone about what sx I have going on.

Did your neuro ever call back? I know mine usually doesn't call back until evening, unless it is an emergency.
