Hi everyone. I’m looking for real guidance from people who understand.I’m dealing with tingling and buzzing in my hands and feet, plus foot drop and knee hyperextension. My biggest goal is regaining independence — driving my car, writing comfortably, holding a fork without my hand feeling weak or stiff.For those of you who’ve had similar symptoms:What helped improve your nerve signals or coordination?Did your foot drop get better over time?When were you able to drive again?What exercises or therapies truly made a difference?I’m working hard on recovery, but I want practical insight from people who’ve actually walked this road. I’m determined to get stronger and move forward — I just want to be smart about it.Thank you in advance.

Normal nerve potentials.

Just got my nerve potentials back, and they flag as normal. The letter says 'this is reassuring'- how? It doesn't disprove a diagnosis of MS, it just puts me right back where I was before. I have 2-4 'unclear' lesions, 1 o-band, progression in numerous symptoms and am a frickin' wheelchair user. Ho...
