my face is twiching,and the bottom of my feet are...
 
When I woke up this morning and was driveing my kids to school,I noticed that under my nose on the right side is twiching. and now my fingertips on my left hand are numb.
Then while I was at my sons parent,teachers meeting the bottom of my feet have a buzzing feeling. This has lasted for a few hours now.
And then u put on top of that,(my other tread, weakness,help??),this all has been going on for 5 days now.
I am getting alittle scared because I cant make it to see my neuro anytime soon. Car reasons. and other appointments. and the office is 45 minutes away. Not a good thing when my blazer has been so messed up.
So I guess my question is,do u all think this is the start of a relaspes,or could it be something more urgent?
Can this wait?
:confused:

The most urgent thing you're going to experience is the start of a relapse. This can include paralysis, blindness, weakness and trembling, all sorts of strange things which can interfere with a normal day.

Typically I'm never symptom-free. Twitches, vertigo, buzzing and tingling, and numbness are all daily visitors. I've gotten used to it by now, I guess! As long as my noggin is working, and I'm not too fatigued, I deal with it.

So my advice is if you start having symptoms that keep you from having a normal day (can't get out of bed, can't see, can't use your hands or arms) then you'll need to call the neuro.

I would let it ride for a little longer, beautiful. Could just be a pseudoexacerbation.

But that's just me...

I agree. If you can't get in to see your neuro at least call. Do you have a pcp in your town that you see? If so, get in to see him/her. 5 days is a long time to suffer.

Over the weekend, the bottoms of my feet were numb, and my left eyelid was twitching every 3 seconds. (I timed it) and the back of my arm just above the elbow was twitching every few seconds too...probably a bit more vigorously than the eyelid. I just kind of ignored it. It went away last night. (yay)

Today my right index finger and some muscle/nerve in my wrist on the inner part of my arm were both twitching in sequence...the wrist would twitch, then the finger would twitch, then the wrist again, then the finger. Stopped whenever I picked up a crochet hook or knitting needle and started playing with yarn, so I did a lot of knitting today. I might actually finish my scarf by this weekend.

If it's disturbing you tho, call the neuro and see what he says, it's possible they can Rx something to you over the phone.

I once spent a whole day with my lower lip twitching. Drove me maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad....

this is how this nose twiching thing is. It is driving me insane!!
and no matter what I do,it is still there.
I am feeling somewhat better today. saying this I mean the fatiuge isnt so intense.
Yeppy!!
but to replace the fatuige,all my arm muscles r twiching!!
and this means that at some point I will have the horrible muscle pain...
then the temps have dropped,that means my feet r zapping agian.
when will all the insanity end!!
