I'm from a different board (Autism) but my sister is having some problems with numbness and tingling in her arm/face/hand/lips also says it is hard to swallow some times.

She went to the hospital yesterday and ever test came back normal. The want her to get an MRI soon, her CAT came back "normal"

She has Lupus and is afraid that this could be Fribro or maybe MS. My mom has MS and so did her bro so it is big in my family.

She doesnt' have any pain tho, and that is why she thinks it "isn't" fibro.

So has anyone had anything like this... could it just be a pinced nerve?

They said it is NOT an infection or bacterial!!

Thanks

it may also be chiari or syringomyelia which is what I have and that mirrors alot of MS symptoms and a mian complaint is the swallowing difficulty....lucky with this one there is a easy surgical option....have a look, it will onl show on an MRI. Good luck to your sister hope its somethign easy :)
