Q: muscle spasms and numbness after brain surgery

Hey guys,
My name is Sarah and I have a few questions about MS. I've talked about it with doctors and read about it but I was kind of wondering what other people have to say about it.

I'm not diagnosed with MS but I have epilepsy and have had brain surgery for it. Recently, though, I've had muscle spasms that weren't related to my epilepsy and I've seen spots in my eyes. Right now I'm having numbness in my hands, face and feet. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with MS though because it's on both sides of my body instead of just one. The muscle spasms were on just one side and when I was seeing spots and having vision problems I went to the opthamalogist and they couldn't find anything.

So, basically, I'm wondering, do these have anything to do with MS or could they be something else, like related to my brain surgery or because of the other meds I'm on?

I'm so confused...my doctors all tell me different things. Thanks for your help!

Sarah

PS: I have numbness on my tongue/mouth, too. It that weird or related?

It does not sound like it would be MS related and it could be related to your recent surgery. I would listen to your doctors and if not satisified, get a 2nd or 3rd opinion until you gets results...
