Had IVSM in july, had improvements, numbness went away, vision problems cleared up for the most part...most of my complaints about MS improved.

Now, in the last week and a half, I've had my left arm go numb...blurred vision....a minor potty problem...pain in my neck (that may be related to my crappy WalMart pillows) and burning feet.

Is it normal to have most of your symptoms go away a few weeks after steroids, only to have a bunch them come blasting back a few weeks after they calmed down??

and yes I know there's nothing "normal" about MS...I'm just wondering if anyone has had that happen before...

edited to add:

forgot to mention that this morning, I woke up to a totally numb hand. Dont think it was MS related, because my hands fall asleep at night (I sleep on my side, and I'm not a small person...that's been going on since I was little, and I was a skinny little thing back then)

My hand woke up immediately after I woke up and moved it. If it were MS related, I would think the numbness wouldnt have gone away 30 seconds after I started wiggling my fingers.

I noticed that when I was washing my hair, when I lifted my left arm up, I had pain going from the shoulder to my elbow, and slightly more painful pain going from the elbow to my hand. (all along the outside of my arm...along the ulnar side of the arm.)

My fingertips are still slightly tingly. I'm really not sure if this is an MS thing, or some other thing that's got a physical cause and not a neurological cause. I'm going to call my neuro on tuesday and ask about it.
