Hi Gwendolyn, The numbness and sharp,stabbing pain in your legs are actually part of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a nervous system disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It damages the myelin sheath, the material that surrounds and protects the nerve cells. This damage slows down or blocks messages between the brain and the body, leading to the symptoms of MS.

Hi there. I'm not a doctor, but this question is near and dear to my heart, as my mom has MS as well. She's about the same age as you and was diagnosed at age 19. Are you ONLY using percocet, or are they using other medications in conjunction with the percocet? I know that my mom is on a whole plethora of drugs to compliment.

Hi, there, and Welcome! I can't believe this got by without anybody answering. My apologies! Seizures! Wow! Scary!! They're not completely unheard of in MS, though, as we're twice as likely to get them as the general population. But that's 5-6% as compared to 3% of the general population. I snagged this from the MS Foundation site: One of the less common problems associated with MS is seizures.

One of the rare but not unheard of symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) is pruritis (itching), which can be included in the category of sensory abnormalities known as "dysesthesias." Because this type of itching is neurologically based, it does not respond to topical treatments like those used in allergic reactions. Anti-epileptic medications (gabapentin, carbamazepine, and phenytoin) are sometimes helpful in treating this problem." this is from sharecare .

Seeing a neurologist for a complete evaluation should be in your very near future. Chest pain as you described does not normally go with MS, nor does pneumonia. Chest pain from the infamous MS hug is a different type of discomfort from what you write here. Contrary to common thinking, even though MS is thought to be an autoimmune disease, our systems are overactive when it comes to germs and viruses. MS patients can be a pretty healthy bunch - as ironic as that may sound.

One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?

It is possible that I had/have undiagnosed multiple sclerosis, and then when I started treatment the interferon kept the MS from progressing?
