concerned???
Hi everyone my name is Jessie. I was suspected of having ms 3 years ago, and only had a new lesion appear in October last year-i started copaxone immediately and am still taking it. But have started getting pins and needles in my feet, which has progressed to when im tired up the back of my legs. As well as this, there is also the buzzing feeling when i move my feet. Does this mean it is progressing? Or there just new symptoms and not too much to worry about? The only attack i have had was optic neuritis, which again was three years ago when they first picked it up. I have RRMS.
You should speak to your MS nurse but the pins and needles is just a lovely side effect of the MS. My tingly hands and feet have just started again, after having about a year free of them. It's more of an inconvenience than anything else.
Thanks Lillylilly. Its funny because prior to October when I got my official diagnosis, I had no symptoms really, other than fatigue etc. (but I try not to put everything down to ms). But about a week after my diagnosis, I started getting the pins and needles in my feet, and now it has progressed to my legs. I really havent had a bad run with the whole MS thing-other than the optic neuritis, I've not had any other attacks (touch wood). So i'm blessed for the time being, i just didnt know if it was a sign that things were progressing. I'm only just starting to deal with the diagnosis now. We lost 5 family members last year, two of which were in the same day and 3 of them were to cancer, so I didn't have time to deal with this. The nurse thinks its remarkable that last year alone didnt send me into a relapse! It must be uncomfortable having pins and needles in your hands though right? Nice to talk to you :)xx
