Hi I have been reading many of your posts and have a few symptoms I would like to ask about. My GP is sending me for an MRI because he suspects MS. About 10 years ago I lost complete feeling in my legs for about 10 minutes, 3 years ago my arms went numb and my pinky and ring fingers had "pins and needles" that lasted 7 weeks. This past year I started having lower back pain that lasted 3 months went away, and came back a month later adding my left hip to the pain, that lasted four more months. To add to that I began seeing flashing lights, having brain "farts" as we call them (saying the wrong word, saying word backwords, or forgetting in the middle of a sentence what I was saying). I was seeing a physiologist who thought it was weakness from pregnancy. (My youngest child is four years old). I now have lost the hip pain and regained strength in that leg but I know have cramps like charley horses and the feeling that my legs are on the verge of going to sleep. My hands and legs tremor when I use them(not all the time but at least a couple of times a day) and what I thought was from having four kids, urinary incontinence. I am 32 years old, female, and have only had x-rays and an EMG which ran a little slow in my feet. I don't feel panicky about it being MS I am just curious to know what the likelihood is. Does any one else get the charley horse cramps all day? My arms and fingers still go numb and also ache at times now too. Thanks to all for all the support you give here. Rene
