Hand Numbness

I was recently diagnosed, and my last relapse had my entire body feeling numb. All the numbness has went away. However, my hands are still numb and weak and it’s hard for me to write. I just wanted to hear peoples experiences, to see how long this lasted for them, and will it ever go away?

Numbness

I’ve started to develop numbness in my fingers and now it has spread to my hand and arm, all on the right side. I know this is apparently a common cause of MS, has anyone else had this and how long did it last?

Long term numbness

Hi everyone! First post: I was diagnosed in October 2020 when I went numb from the neck down, took months and months but I finally got feeling back a lot of places. It’s been around 15 months and my hand is still numb and it effects my schooling. Has anyone has numbness for this long that went away?...

Numbness at the back of my thigh 😩

Hi, today suddenly after sitting on a picnic blanket at the park with my daughters. The back of my thigh has gone completely numb and 5 hours later it is still as numb, could this be a relapse, or just sitting in a funny position. It feels really strange 🥲
