Right Side / Left Side SX
 

When I started down this road 99% of my sx have been on my Right side. The last few days I have had sx on my left..... is this something that happens?

Will you get sx on both sides or have them move?

My cog fog has been terrible for two days! That I think bothers me more than anything for I feel like I am so stupid and I know that people I don't know think I am too....

Yeahbut,

My experience has included both left and right sides, but not always in
symetry. ie right leg, left arm etc. I will be interested to hear what others
chime in as this is confusing to me as well.

Over the years, my sides have taken turns and played well together for the most part.

It might be three fingers on one hand and two on the other. Then, it changes overnight.

I do want to caution you that if the issue persists and gets worse, please make that call to the neuro!

I hope it's just a little blitz and will quickly get out of your way. :hug:

I started out with right side issues, and those still remain my most annoying side.
My left side, is actually numb-er (if that's a word) and because my pain/numbness/burning etc. on the right "hurts" more, that is where my focus stays.
But many a day it is both and various body parts driving me crazier. And the fatigue, kicks my butt.

Awwww Yabbit I'm sorry. I hope it's just a temp thing, too.:hug:

I'm a lefty here....if my right side were as bad as my left, I'd be in a WC all the time..:eek: My right side is almost, not quite, pretty near, normal..<thanks Lord>:)

Most of my attacks were ambidextrous, lol, but my right side always came back. My left side just kept getting worse. :mad:

Feel better soon, sweetheart..:hug:

Right/Left
 

All of my sx initially were right side. Slowly I felt things over to the left (especially the feet tingle thing).
BUT: New symptoms appearing on the opposite side of your body should be at least reported to the Neuro. Left sided issues involve the right side of the brain and visa versa.
When I started getting symptoms on the opposite side, my doc ran a new MRI to check for new lesions.
Sometimes we already have lesions in different parts of the brain that start acting up but are not really "new".
My advice: Report it to doc and let him/her decide.

There are no patterns with MS, except perhaps with each of us as individuals. That can change any time too.

Cherie

Jim's is on both sides. The left is numb and rarely hurts, the right side is a spawn of satan.

I play a mean juggling act!
 

I have most of my pain symptoms on the right side, but my left side is not left untouched! I have various symptoms that creep on on either side.

Spawn of Satan, lmao!!! Good description. :)

ahhh HUGSSS for the cogfog crap....
I get this way too often, sometimes I seem to be listening to someone and just like not quite there at all...hubby was just telling me a simple thing to look up online, when we visited between my work adn his...something for me to look up tonight...and it wasnt complicated...but I was veggie..so I finally said ...WAIT, let me right the stuff down...it was like three words...:eek:

he kindof smiled..but knew I must be in a cogfog daze...and even waited till I had my pad of paper out..to tell me again....

ooppsss did I just hijack...

no I was sharing a story to tell you I know how you are feeling with the cogfog stupid feeling....and I am here..and hugssssss,sarah

Most of my symptoms are on my right side. That was where my tremors were, my constant numbness is, and where my drop foot and vision issues show up.

But to not be left out (pun intended), my left side is where the majority of my electric shock-like pains and spacicity (sp?) shows.

Spasms show up anywhere, so that is one I get on both sides.

Hope this helps. :hug:

yabbit I have heard all different stories about this and have posted a thread or two regarding left or right, I can say everything has been my left side till this last relapse, it attacked my right side and that really confused me, and was difficult to deal with. and from what i remembered from my thread it was all of the above, right left both, guess this illness has a mind of its own. I am just grateful it doesnt do a right for a few days then attack the left a few days, I wouldnt know what hand to use, or which one for my coffee cup, with a clutched for life grip

hope you get to feeling better real soon and hopefully its just the weather, that is causing this :hug:

Most of my problems are on my left side, but I will occasionally get muscle spasms in my right leg and pains in my right eye.

Thank you Everyone for your help! I called the neuro as suggested and I have a scheduled appointment the first of next month. I was so surprised that it was on the left side since I just got off the round of steroids.

Thanks again!!

question yabbit what type of roids were you just on? I had a relapse this year right after getting off predisone for my lungs, and it attack the opposite side that usually is effected, i would be interested in hearing what your doc has to say, regarding this, mine was perplexed to say the least, this isnt right, was his response, ironically those were my exact words on the first day it started messing with me.

Frank, my oral was Predizone but the IV was something different....I can't remember what it was though sorry!
