Advice/help needed
Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2015 12:06 pm
Hello, hoping for some advice/help.
Over the past few months, have noticed changes to my body. Feet almost always feel a numb feeling, and hands again can feel almost unattached or painful. I have tried to just not think about it, more recently things have become worse. Have had real problems with my higher back, again a very strong tingling feeling that has occurred in loads of different times. Also in the past two weeks, have woken up and had almost no feeling on my left side of the body, has happend 3 times now, when I got out of bed I couldn't feel my left side and subsequently fell over.
I am about to turn 18 years old and so am worried about the possible links to MS, there is a history within my family with my dad diagnosed with low level MS quite some years ago.
Am unsure what to do next, or even if my symptoms are even a sign of MS.
thanks for help,
