Please go

If you go to m.S. Forum site and read my posting which I posted before finally finding my answers you would have thought I was also having strokes. My doctors had first thought m.S., some had said strokes. I just visited mayo clinic in minnesota and believe it or not I had a hole in my heart-which is called a pfo-(patent foramen ovale). This is actually a birth defect but the older you get the more problems that can develop from it. Problems that develop are strokes which I had four tia's, but the biggest relief is that I finally have an answer to 4 years of total hell. The test I had that found this was called a tee - which is a camera that is put down your esphogus which then goes down behind and around your heart to look for any defects. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and so far other than some headaches I feel great. Also for over 3 years I had no strength in my left hand(could not lift a coffee cup) and three fingers were totally numb and constantly tingling. The day after surgery that feeling is gone and I have total stength back. It's unbelievable to me !!!! Good luck.

You may ask a cardiologist for some tests to rule out any heart defects that is causing the tingling and numbness on the right side.
