I'm dec. and they think it might be a
Sensory neuropathy, I'm pretty depressed about this. It doesn't seem to be getting better. And I have more numnness on my left side. .
I'm waiting for a nerve conduction test to be done and to see a
Neurologist . I seen a internist already. But he wasn't much help. But he didn't say he thought it was a mild sensory neuropathy , that may get better or worse.

How are u feeling

Hello,
I am 26yo male in good physical condition.
This is my story in short: In December I traveled Thailand for a month, had to get a rabies shots (5) there (just a precaution). Nevertheless since then I am experiencing heavy hands (left more), tingling in limbs, lot of the nights I wake up with numb hand or the whole arm (left or right).
My neurologist said to take magnesium and sent me to EMG of my hands. EMG was ok, no neuropathy, nerves are fine.
These feelings are less common now but they emerge here and there. Sometimes I also feel tightness in the left side of my face and around the temple the skin seems a bit less sensitive.
I am feering things like MS...

Welcome oblivionrpg.

I have read several stories like yours both on this forum and on other websites. The one positive thing is that I've seen is that some people have their symptoms get better after several months to a year. Try to search some of the old threads on this forum.

There are some that has gotten better. Some of my symtoms have seemed to disapeared but new ones have shown up and gotten better or come and go. I had an emg done on all limbs and everything come back clean for me except for pinched nerve in one arm and carpel tunnel in the other. The dr knows there is somthing wrong but not sure what. I've had aN mri of my head and it
Come back good. They want an mri of my neck now and not sure if they want to rescan my head again. To look for ms. I have my on my right shin. Almost like cramping a lot now. And maybe pain in the joint still in my thumb. It's very bothersome . But I've been dealing with this for 8 months now. I've
Stressed less about this now, then this first happened. I have scsred. Not so much now. I still notice my left side is more numb then my right and I noticed
I still twitch and jerk thru out the day too .. I also take viatmins . I don't think they help .

Oh man, that is so like me. Right now, I am sitting in front of my pc and muscles in my right leg are twitching a bit and the leg is a tense a bit. Also my fingers are a bit clumsier and rigid I would say. It comes and goes. When I had the rabies shot it was so stressfull time. I was constantly thinking if I have rabies and if the shots will save me. I think that this kind of psychological trauma is more harmfull to the CNS and whole body than any kind of shot...

I was in your boat as well.

I had a flare back from Oct - Dec 2014.

Just the other day I started back again but so far it's been mild.

Every flare has seem to lessen in length and intensity so that's good news.

Hope you get a bit better soon, or dr might find out what's wrong first. I don't have much hope with the drs though, they think I'm crazy for blaming the vaccine. But I was fine before this..

Do you find your symtoms qorse at night or during the day ? I find when I relax so whenever I get a chance to or at bed time. It's
Worse for me.

Would you say you are getting better overall?

I wouldn't retest for MS unless your Dr thinks it is necessary because of the contrast/heavy metal.

From what I have read it's doubtful you have MS because it doesn't seem to follow what you are describing.

Unless your symptoms stay in one area or you are having visual or balance issues I would not worry about MS.

There are over 15 million Americans with some form of peripheral neuropathy... I am guessing that number is low because most folks just live with it.
