Early on before diagnosis I would have symptoms for a while (numbness) and then they would go away. For quite a while though I have mild numbness or tingling all the time and then sometimes aches in arms or legs if I’m tired. Does this still sound like relapsing remitting?
hi,
I’m not an expert, but I believe that symptoms such as tingling can be constant in RRMS.
I’ve been having it every day for about 5 months and at the age of 19 and a year after a dx I don’t think it’s likely I’ve already developed SPMS.
take care x
Hi
Yes, it does still sound like RRMS. I’ve been dx for 5 years now and constand tingling and numbness is one of my symptoms. It’s a myth that with RRMS we don’t have any symptoms at all between relapses. It just means that you have clear relapses when things are much worse and then periods when things are better/improved.
My neuro usually discusses my existing symptoms with me at annual review which is reassuring because it shows he understands that we have to live with daily symptoms and then we discuss what, if anything, can be done to relieve them.

Hi, I was dx last nov after four years (rrms) and I rarely feel ‘normal’ I almost always have some sensory issue, however mild. Best wishes, Sue
