I was wondering if anyone out there could give me any advice/insight into what I could be up against here. I am feeling terrified and any support would be greatly appreciated. About 3 years or so ago, I noticed a numb spot on the left side of the roof of my mouth and on my top lift on the same side. I asked the doctor at the time and he did some strength and reaction tests, and seemed unconcerned and said it was probably herpes virus damage.
Then about 7 months ago I started to notice that my fingers were making slight movements by themselves. Some Internet research later, and putting that and my numb lip/top pallet (which never went away) together, I convinced myself that this was MS. I then spiralled into a month of anxiety. Were I was experienced every symptom under the sun. I am fairly sure many of these were anxiety induced though. However, 7 months later and still awaiting a neurology appointment on the NHS, many of these symptoms haven’t gone. I still have pins and needles sensations in my legs very frequently. It doesn’t move around at all. My legs on both sides get pins and needles all over them and the skin feels sore/ burnt to the touch. I get painless muscle twitches every couple of days of so. I still get movement in my fingers and very occasionally in my legs every now and then coupled with a small electric shock feeling.
Then the other day I noticed my top gums have gone numb too. I went to the doctor (I am currently abroad) and he set me up with an MRI for Mondayi se cede some urgency in his actions. I am now extremely worried about what the outcome will be. Can anyone give me any ideas on this. Does this sound like MS? Does anyone have other ideas of what this could be? I have no weakness in my muscles no coordination or balance problems. I am so anxious though!
I am currently awating a nurolagy app I had a lot of trouble last year with my leg muscle and pain and burning sensation with waves of fatuage and dizzyness minor pins and numbness now that passed then it reard its head again 6 weeks ago with my neck like a swolen bit on back my arm muscle sunk in a bit alot ov lazy arm pain like spazems in the arm from sholder to muscle and a numb foot and a twitchy eye now and then and funny dizzy sensations I am so worried any idea would be a good idea
Thanks, these are helpful comments. It is difficult sometimes to distinguish between what symptoms are being brought on by anxiety and which are not. But the numb gums and toes, which have been there for many years are definitely not anxiety. I hope it is nothing serious, but as suggested, only the MRI will give me some insight into this. Does anyone know how long I will likely have to wait for results from the MRI? It’s on Monday and I am feeling very nervous a about the outcome.
Well I had one recently and my follow up spot came through before my MRI appt. So I knew I had about a 2week wait after the MRI. I think in most circumstances a follow up can be anything up to a month after unless something is considered worthy of contacting you earlier. You maybe lucky and seen around 2 weeks after. Good luck! Hope you get some answers.
