Numbness

Yesterday afternoon I started feeling weird sensations on my right side (same side as my optic neuritis appeared). This morning I wake up and i'm completely numb from the waist down on the right side and I can feel it creeping into my fingers now too :( I know everyone's symptoms vary hugely but I am wondering if those of you who experience numbness can tell me how long it lasted each time? I have a long haul flight on Thursday and I am terrified to think how I will feel at my destination, I already suffer with extreme pain in my muscles and not being able to get up and move about freely is going to be an issue!

@doxielover, I know, numbness was my first sign. Started in my left thigh and gradually spread down leg to foot, across abdomen and down left leg and foot, couldn't drive for awhile because I couldn't feel the pedals. Finally got 5 days IV Solumedrol in March, couple weeks after that it eventually disappeared.

*I meant it travelled down my right leg and foot as well!
