hi all,
I’m new to this forum, haven’t been diagnosed with anything although have been referred to neurology.
I wanted to ask if people have experienced this before. This past week and a bit i’ve been going through a “relapse” of sorts, which started with pins and needles and numbness in my right arm, which spread to my leg and torso over a few days. I was then prescribed with Amitriptilyne to help with headaches which i believe may have helped me with pins and needles and nerve pain. However throughout the week i have developed more weakness in my left side (which is already weak as it is lol).
I suppose my question is, has anyone gone through a relapse or attack where symptoms change (ie the limbs or body parts affected change, or the sensations change ) or where the severity changes (either gets worse then gets better or vice versa) on a daily basis.
This has been such a distressing time. Although I feel that my GP has been great and hasn’t fobbed me off , the waiting times are unbelievable and I just don’t know when or if I should notify them that my symptoms are getting worse. I’m terrified of doing more damage by not reaching out.
