So many questions. You see, you may find someone with every sx that you have. MS is a sx embracing disease. No two of us are alike yet we can share sx's.
But other diseases have the same sx's.
I would be proactive and take it to the next step with the doc.  |
At the time I didn't relate anything to possible MS so I didn't think to ask. I just recently started piecing stuff together. About 2 1/2 years ago I had tingling in my fingers of my right hand. Doctor said carpal tunnel. Gave me wrist splints and sent me on my way. It sort of got better over the next 6 months or so. Then one day after walking my dog it felt like my arm wasn't my own. It was heavy and I couldn't bring it up to my nose to scratch my face. Thought I over did it. The feeling went away after a few weeks back to the normal tingling. Then a few months after that my neck started getting stiff and then I could not move it without having extreme pain. Back to the doctor. He took a neck x-ray and said that I had arthritis ordered some blood test to rule out rheumatoid arthritis. It wasn't RA. Gave me some muscle relaxers and off I went to physical therapy. That got better after about 3-4 months - ibuprophen was my friend! Then in December 2008 I had the wickedest pain in my upper abdomen, right under the ribs and a bit to the right. Figured it was gas, but when it got worse and it couldn't take a breath without it hurting and my sleep was disrupted I went back to the doctor. He ran the tests for gall bladder and pancreas issues. All came back normal. He said it must be a bad case of indigestion and gave me prilosec and told me to come back if it didn't get better. It eventually cleared up about 2 weeks later. Now about mid-March my arms go tingly again, but this time it is all fingers and half way up my arm. My lower back is in pain and my legs go between tingly, pain, stiffness and feeling like they are on fire. I feel ansy and I cannot get the pain and stiffness to stop. I have gotten some other things off and on since mid-March too. I have pain behind my left eye. No vision loss, but I have floaters. Anyway have been extremely tired the last 4 weeks and even naps in the day aren't helping. I am a mother of two active boys and my family thinks I am going crazy.
I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.
Sorry for going on so long...
