I hope its ok to post here as I’m not diagnosed with MS, I assumed when people said they had numbness that it would be like a dead leg or arm but for me it feels more like patches of my skin on my hands and legs are numb not the whole hand or leg if that makes sense? I even have some quite bad bruising where I’ve bashed myself and not noticed. Does anyone with MS get this kind of numbness?
Not diagnosed but can relate to your explanation. Sometimes the whole left side of my body or waist below goes totally numb. Always happens with episodes of intense pins and needles beforehand coming and going numerous times throughout the day. Total amount of time of total numbness with no feeling at all a day and a half. The heaviness is linked more to my fatigue( with me). But I totally understand the patches. I also get burning everywhere and sometimes in patches too. Lina
I get the patches much more often than total limb numbness. I’ve always described it as feeling like there’s plastic wrap over that section. I can feel pressure but not touch, if that makes sense.
years back i would have a shower and not feel patches of the hot water.
numbness to me is like when you have sat on your legs cross legged and get up and that is how my foot and left leg feels most days.
on top i have fizzing and tingling constantly.
