Hi there, I'm not yet Dx but do have simular feelings (or unfeelings) in my fingers or hands as well as other parts of my body... it comes and goes.
Keep a record of any new symptoms to let your Dr know...
I'm sure you will hear from others who know alot more about MS.. I just wanted to say

Hi, Kim! I am diagnosed, and I frequently have problems with numbness.
It seems like things go numb more quickly - like my circulation isn't as good. I'll wake up in the morning and one arm will be numb. I never get that pins and needles feeling, like when you've slept wrong on your arm. It just gets gradually better. One morning I woke up and one leg was completely numb - I went to step on it, and it collapsed and I went to the floor.
MS seems to be a disease of progression, even when you're not having flares. I have new symptoms all the time, and I'm in remission at the moment. If you think you're having a flare (excessive fatigue, bad symptoms) I would call up your doc and tell him about it. The last time I called the neuro, I was having this spinal myoclonus and I kept having to call in sick - not only was I exhausted, but I kept convulsing, which is hard to explain away at work.
