What does your neurologist prescribe for all body numbness besides gabapantin ? What do you do to ease the pain of the numbness in the hand area ?

🤬 MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

The numbness in my arm, fingers, legs and foot. The sleepless nights. The uncomfortableness. The uncertainty of wondering if I’m okay or if I’m having a MS relapse.

My MS

I like to say I just have MS. I don’t let it define me. I’m on a good treatment plan and I just manage symptoms and flares. I’m very fortunate and blessed that mine only causes numbness in my back and I get a lot of twitching and burning down my legs.
