Numbness

The last week I been experiencing lots of numbness in my hands and in my feet. I have never had that before. I wake up with it it goes away after a little while. Pops up during the day. I assume its MS related. But this is new to me. Is this common?

Numbness with a side of pain

It sounds so weird and when I try to explain it to some people, they just look at me confused. To touch, my right leg feels numb and walking on it just feels weird but the pain and burning sensation that is going through my whole leg is just horrible. No point to this post other than neuropathic pai...

I'm waiting on confirmation of a diagnosis as the doctors are 95% sure it's MS but this numbness has been constant for nearly 2 weeks now. If you suffer with it have you got any tips on e...

Hi, apologies for posting again so quickly! Just trying to work out if the symptoms I'm having are MS related or something else. In addition to a numb left hand with pins and needles, I've now got a weirdly numb face. But it's on the upper right hand side. Can MS related facial numbness be just part...

Waves of numbness and electrical sensation when moving around

Does anyone experience this? I'm not talking about Lhermitte's sign (which I also get) as it's much more widespread and not triggered by neck movement. It's usually worse when my MS is generally worse and my fatigue levels are high. Sitting still it calms down a bit, but when I get up to do someth...
