One sided? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

I am wondering about these awful electrical shock feelings.
I've had tingling for quite some time, but yesterday morning before I got out of bed, both shins felt like I was being shocked. Today, it is much more intense and much more pronounced on the left side, and and goes all the way up into my face and head.
Is it usual for the weird sensations to be on both sides, or if it is MS related wouldn't it be just on one side?

I really want to find out what is happening to my body and brain.

By the way...
The extreme fatigue, loss for words, brain malfunctions and slurring have been practically gone for just about a month, and I got to feel like me again. I appreciated every moment! I feel better knowing that I can feel like myself at least sometimes!

Most of my problems are on my right side (left hemisphere of the brain) , but I still have problems on the left side (right hemisphere of the brain). On occasion I have symptoms that affect both sides. It depends on where the nerves are damaged as to which side or sides are affected.

So, one-sided or both sides, it can still be MS related...darn. I'm still hoping for finding that all my health issues are from sleeping on the wrong side of the bed.

Actually it could be a bad bed!

I meant to say getting up on the wrong side of the bed.

Oh well, I did have a great month!
