Hi does anyone find that when they goto the toilet that within 1-2 mins your legs go numb and you struggle to stand back up ? ive also seen my ms nurse today and ive been told that i will see her in 6 months and that dmds would not make any difference as even though the sensory relapses are going berserk yet its not a relapse so therefore dmds would make no difference
hi sheep
my legs keep going numb all the time, no matter what i’m sitting on.
possibly you’re cutting off the circulation. try shifting about on the toilet seat.
i don’t understand the reason for you not being given dmds.
a dmd is something you take all the time, in relapse or in remission.
my brain has gone numb now so i’m off to bed

Hi Sheep
Yes, I know what you mean. I get numbness in my left leg and both feet but also when I’m standing, particularly in one position for too long.
Carole has made a good point about the circulation. I don’t know if you have one of those raised, white seats attached to your toilet, that may help. You wouldn’t be sitting quite as low down which may improve things for you.
Take care x

Hi the only reason my legs go numb on the loo is cos I’ve sat on it too long to read my magazine. Only time I get peace and quiet lol
