Pins and needles worsening
Just in the last couple of hours the pins and needles in my hands has intensified, my right arm feels tingling weak and numb and I all of a sudden feel very sick and sleepy. What is happening? So scared I'm going to relapse!!!
A lot of the time these can be transient. FWIW, I have come to rely on breathing/ mindfulness/yoga/meditation type methods when these sort of things really bother me. You have to learn and practice them quite a bit but it is well worth it. Regarding a relapse: that is only something your neuro can say for sure. It is apparently normal to have sensations at times that aren't necessarily a relapse, just the MS buggering you about. First thing Monday, give the MS nurses a call. If they think it is necessary they can get you seen. In the meantime, don't let it rule your head. It means it is winning, and we can't have that ;) Best Dominic
I would inform your neuro if it lasts 24 hrs or longer just since it’s a worsening of a symptom. I used to take gabapentin which didn’t help at all, but now I’m on lyrica which has helped. I also used to do certain exercises in pt that help with nerve pain. Feel better!
