Needing advice

Good morning I’ve been having numbness in my right arm and hand tingling a couple of years ago never thought anything about it ,until April 2019 ,I started with the symptoms again . I can have several episodes a day they can come and go I get such a strange feeling then sometimes a rising feeling from my right leg upwards then my arm and hand go numb and tingly sometimes it goes into my right side of face /cheek and mouth can last for about 2/5 mins sometimes can feel very tired or have a headache. Has anyone else had anything similar. Also my legs ache when I’ve been sitting and arm .

@heather64 these were possibly the first symptoms I had, certainly they were among the first years before I was diagnosed. I couldn't think of how to describe it other than that it was like my arm and leg felt like they were involuntarily floating up, as if they were suddenly lighter? And tingly all down my right hand side. I also had l'hermittes electric shock feeling when I looked down. Unfortunately I didn't get taken seriously and sent to a neurologist until I'd had a lot more symptoms and eventually it was only when I had permanent numbness all down my right side following a long period of intense burning pain in my arm and leg that the GP referred me to a neurologist (years later). I do wonder if I'd had a diagnosis and started treatment sooner if I'd have sustained this permanent damage and there's no way of knowing but I'd hate for you to go through the same thing!

Have a look at the recent thread about Tingling Lips.
