Waking Up Numb

I wake up every morning with my hands and feet numb and it never goes away. With MS, this is something you have to learn to live with, but if you haven't had a confirmed diagnosis of MS, I would check into it. There are many auto-immune illnesses that have some of the same symptoms. Good luck

Numbness

When I was first diagnosed with ms I had a lot of morining numbness especially in my hands (i started to get very papanoid and only sleep on my back to avoid laying on one side of the other!). over time it has lessened (and i sleep every which way). but it's a normal symptom of the disease.

I Have!

I have those symptoms nearly every day. Plus many others, I go to the neurologist on Wed. I'm very anxious to figure this out!
