Numbness

Has anyone else lost sensation full function of thumbs (mainly) /hands? It’s really bizzarre I can use my hands but my grip has gone slightly and I have permanent pins and needles in my hands that gets worse throughout the day. Would love to know if this is MS and not something more sinister x

Hi @Loumoo, I can’t speak for anyone else but I also have pins and needles in my hands and virtually no feeling in my last two fingers and down that side the hand, but I can feel my thumbs ( just about). My fingers and hands do work so I can still use hand controls it’s just the sensation (used for typing) that’s missing. I presume it’s all ms related as it’s all central nervous system. I hope this is useful to you and maybe set your mind at ease. Graham

I think it must be ms because loosing feeling in fingers and toes is fairly standard, mine has been going slowly the last couple of years and has now virtually all gone, but then I was dxd 25 years ago so it's hardly surprising. Getting worse throughout the day us also fairly standard, I am much better in the morning and if I have a good sleep after lunch, can usually manage dinner, and even a night out once in a blue moon!😍
