Hand numbness/tingling in other hand?
Hey y’all
So for a year I’ve had hand numbness/tingling on my left hand. It’s a strange feeling, I can’t describe very well as I can still feel my hand so it’s not really numb and it is not sleeping on it type tingling but it’s the only words I can find to describe it. My hand still has full function and although it’s an annoying feeling, it doesn’t bother me too much.
This was my first symptom and unfortunately it has remained with me. I had thought my hand was getting a little better but now I have the same feeling in my other hand since this morning mainly at the finger tips and down the pinky side of my hand. Similar to my left hand. I thought I had tingling in these fingers before but was never sure and it kind of went away.
I feel a bit tired today / run down / not my usual chirpy self so much.
Not sure what’s happening and don’t know if anyone can advise? I’m just recently diagnosed with RRMS.
Thanks x
Hi @lightning87 I get the same in my left foot and I use a Revitive circulation booster to inject some life and feeling back into it. I am lucky in that my upper body is largely unaffected by MS, but the booster certainly helps my legs and feet. A lot of the time they regain 'normal feeling' for a bit. I still walk like Ozzy tho :) An electrical stimulant may help your hands to 'liven up', Definitely helps my feet. I would look into it, they are not 'silly' expensive and you can get away with not paying vat as you have MS. You may find this article an interesting read, not directly related to hands but essentially the Revitive unit I have uses the principle of TENS. I firmly believe it is useful for some MSers, me included. https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2017/05/25/ms-drug-free-pain-management-tens-electric-stimulation/
@lightning87 , you're still getting to know the new you. This will come over time. But, this "residual damage" from a previous relapse can be a guide to your daily wellbeing. If these symptoms start to "grumble", then you need to consider what you have done to provoke this response. It could be that you have just overdone things and you are becoming tired. Your core body temperature may have increased. Or it may be the start of a run-of-the-mill infection. So, it will become like a warning sign to you........
