Well I had my MRI this morning. It took forever. Had to have MRI of C spine and brain with and without contrast. By the time it was over I thought my bladder would bust. While laying there having the test my entire right arm went numb while my legs and feet and back continued to have that sleepy/tingly feeling. When she injected the dye into my right arm my index finger (which has twitches quite often) was twitching like crazzzzzy. Now I just have to wait to hear what if anything they found. The waiting is driving me crazy. And now a new thing has seemed to start......I now am having little feelings in my left and right hand ....feels like my muscle twitches or jumps. It's wierd. Didn't know if that was something or if it was just me being over aware of things. But it has been doing it since about 1pm. Not sure if anyone else has those muscle jumping feelings or not. I am at the point where I don't even care what I have........I just want the tingling to stop. It is about to drive me insane. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for listening to me
Hi CarlaSue,
I'm glad you're through the MRI. I know they take a long time and are very wearing. It's good that they did it while you are having symptoms. There's a better chance of it picking up the activity.
I can't help you with all of the idiosyncrasies of MS symptoms as I don't have MS myself. Unfortunately I do know about a lot of them because my daughter and mother both have MS.
Try to get your mind off of the MRI's and the tingling this weekend if possible. Treat yourself to some fun! The time will pass a lot faster.
Congratulations for getting through the MRI.......they have to sedate me every time....I am SOOO claustrophobic that I freak out....literally!
So many of the "little things" that come with MS can also be attributed to other things. Soon you will be able to recognise what is and what isn't MS, most of the time, but not always.
I agree with Julie......get out of the mental pattern that you are in. Choose to do something good for yourself. Anything to distract you from thinking about the results, the tingles, etc. is a step in the right direction.
And Keep Smiling!
Love to you,
Penny
Hi CarlaSue, well your one step closer to an answer! A step in the right direction, at least! Take a vacation from your worries and try to relax and enjoy the weekend! No better reason to treat yourself to something nice than this! Good luck and keep us posted!!
Thank you all for your well wishes and support. I am up already because once I get up.....I cant go back to sleep. Not sure if its the tingling feeling all over that is keeping me from going back to sleep or my mind racing on what is wrong w/me. I see so many entries that people make saying that the doctor's think they are crazy and there is nothing wrong w/them. I have to admit that scares the hell outta me. I don't know what I will do if they tell me that. This feeling and these tremors or twitches or whatever....they are driving me crazy. Sometimes the tingling feeling is so slight that it makes me feel like scratching, and sometimes its so bad I can't move well. I have been reading and have seen that there is nothing to do about the tingling feeling.....even if it is MS. I hope it goes away soon. I try to think of other things and do things to keep my mind occupied........but I cant. It always goes back to that feeling. And lately most of the time my head feels like it is going to explode. Again is this just worry or another sign? Who knows. All I know is I want it to stop. Thank you all so moch for your comments and suggestions. Its nice to know I am not alone. Praying for you all
