Hey everyone. So last week I developed tingling in my right leg that spread to my foot and then to my arms, hands, other leg, shoulders, chest, neck, and face/head...all within 24 hours. I've had the same thing happen to me earlier in the year. The symptoms subsided after about 5-6 weeks. I thought then it could have been a back injury, as I work out a lot. But, now that it happened again, I was nervous it could be MS.
I went to the doctor who tested my reflexes, strength, etc. He said he wasn't convinced it was MS, but would order me an MRI if it would ease my mind.
To give you a little background on me, I'm a pretty healthy guy...I've only been to the doctor for one medical issue and that's GERD. My GERD is pretty bad and I'm currently on a very high dose of PPI. My doctor was thinking maybe I have a deficiency due to the high dosage of PPI. I checked my B12 though and it is in the normal range, however, he ordered Methylmalonic Acid test to see if my body is absorbing it properly?
My question is, does MS normally attack your entire body all at once? Also, is the tingling consistent with MS? Like does it come in waves? Sometimes I'll feel nothing in my legs and then suddenly I'll feel a few tingles, same for the rest of my body. I also noticed that my anxiety seems to make the symptoms much more pronounced.
I appreciate any feedback.
