How long do relapses last for? The left side of my head, neck, arm, hand and fingers have been numb, the sensation has changed from numb to like tingerling and tightness, my scalp feels really tight on the left side and i have like a pulling pain near my collar bone, im not diagnosed, neurologists thinks possible MS, i have an mri tomorrow, do symptoms go away or do they stay?
I see this post is 2 days old, how did your mri go?
Some of your symptoms I can’t resonate with but in terms of relapse length - how long is piece of string?
To define a relapse the symptoms need to be present for 24 hours minimum. My worst relapse consisted of an enormous list of symptoms over a whole month, then a month to recover leaving daily residual symptoms for 7 months until I started medication.
As you’ll be waiting on diagnosis I can only suggest you keep a diary if you don’t already. Even if it’s not MS, you’ll need to revisit the info again in the future as there’s usually a reason of some sort for these things.
Wishing you good luck for your mri results.
