Hey everyone,
I am Allie and I have not been diagnosed with MS but it is looking increasingly likely, I am currently awaiting an emergency neurologist referral (which actually isn’t very urgent at all!) but the help I need is with a new symptom that started 2 weeks ago (have seen relevant medical professional) the left side of my face went numb (I have a whole history but I’m sure you don’t all want to read that lol) the weird thing is it’s like numb, I can still feel pressure but not topical sensations, but it also feels like it’s tingling and like it should be itchy but it’s not (I realise I am making no sense it’s just so hard to describe) but it is genuinely distressing me, I can’t stand the sensation, it’s not pain so I can’t take pain medication, it’s like it’s itchy but isn’t so I can’t scratch it and it’s all I can feel. I don’t cry (I’m a bit defective) but if I did I would be balling my eyes out. So my question is, is there anything that can help be it complimentary therapies, medication, anything while I wait for this referral.
Many thanks (sorry it’s so long)
Allie
