You know, that makes a lot of sense. My right foot (and then the left one) went numb after I had some dental work done in February/March. I know I still need more dental work done, but I'm trying to wait so that I can heal from the first round of dental work. (amalgam fillings were cracking my teeth, needed replacing with composite material)

I dont want to do the next set till late June. Then I have two more batches that will be done later this year. The worst was done in February, and the second worst is the one that will be done in June. I'm hoping that once the teeth that are set to be fixed in June get fixed that maybe some of the funky MS crap will let up on me.

Knocking on wood for that one.

I actually cant wait to get all the teeth fixed. Going to be getting some cosmetic stuff done after that. I'm all excited. I hate dentists, but I'm hoping the MS stuff will let up once all the big stuff is taken care of. I'm not going to count on it tho. At least I'll be rid of the amalgam fillings.

Actually, this is one reason why the phrase "RR" MS is so mis-leading. You can have active damage going on in your brain and not have a relapse, or even a psuedo exacerbation. You may very well be in remission and have damage going on. This is why the specialist stressed me going on meds now. Cause even though I had my onset attack, and 1 relapse since (8 years in between) there is more damage shown on my MRI than attributed to my onset and relapse. It may not be causing the inflamation that gives us a relapse, but damage is still occuring.

There are people with silent MS. They have it but it is never found until autopsy. They are basically in "remission" their entire life, but the disease is wrecking havoc on their brain.
