Hi All.
Been feeling weak and heavy in my arms and legs. I find it hard to coordinate my movements and get a strange feeling in my head together with feeling unbalanced. It is so up and down its like very uncomfortable. Does anyone think it is a relapse? It has got slightly worse each day for the past week or so. Feeling out of control, any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
Hi Anon.
I dont really know enough about Ms (as i am new to this myself) to be much help.
they do say if a symptoms lasts for more than 24hours it can be classed as a relapse.
Maybe give you Gp or MS nurse a call.
I do hope you feel better soon
take care

Hi Anon, I am going through the same thing at the minute but with pains in my legs and arms also. I spoke to my MS nurse this morning who is going to sort out some medication. I would think that it is definitely a good idea to speak to your MS nurse! I hope you get this sorted

Hi That is how my last main relapse started. I gradually lost all coordination in my right hand and arm over a week which left me unable to write or fit a spoon in a yoghurt pot…let alone get it to my mouth! Luckily my left side was not effected so I got quite good at using my left side. I would speak to an ms nurse or GP who would be able to offer you advise. My ms nurse likes to keep a record of any changes because it keeps a record of any progression/ frequency of relapses, or not, of your ms. Hope it is just a flare up of symptoms because of the weather or a cold but best to get it checked out. Mish x
Thank you all very much for your comments and taking the time.

Hi I’ve been experiencing exactly the same for the past 10 days, for the past 2 days I have also started to experience nerve pain - painful! Enoughs enough so today I spoke to my neuro, he has prescribed with a 5 day course of steroids, back in October I experienced the same, and within 24hrs of starting the steroids I saw great improvement with my symptoms - I’m still working on trying to improve my mobility following my big relapse back in 2012 but then that’s a different story! I would definetly recommend speaking to your nurse/neuro to get some help, it might be nothing and just a short term flare up of old symptoms but best to run it by them just in case. Hope your feeling better soon! Liana
Hi Liana & ‘sheep’
It is sometimes a little comforting to know you are not alone.
Best regards
