Thank you all for your prayers they mean so much I just keep trying to think positive like maybe they smudged the MRI or something stupid. Mare

I'm glad you told Frankie, that's one less worry on your shoulders.
I'm sure he worries but just does not show it.

Does this l"hermitte's ever go away??? I heard the neurologist mention it to the two students that were with him when he was in the hall but he didn't say anything to me about it just said we had to wait for the test I learned for from you then the doctor.

It doesn't go away really, but there are meds that are given to make it lessen and not feel it. If it is MS, then you will get meds to control the relapses/flare ups, and meds to control any type of nerve pain you have (if any)...

Take a look at this site, it may help

I just recently had a total shoulder replacement due to the pain in my shoulder from my lobpi injury. But I too have the same weird numbness you are talking about in both of my hands and fingers on both arms go numb then get pins in needles in them. I noticed that it happens more when I am lying down. Have you noticed this also? You might want to try sleeping with a total body pillow on your good side. I use one and it seems to help. I also found that a warm heating pad or blanket helps also. Hope this help

No mine happens when I'm sitting and I bend my head down I feel a wave of tingling go from my neck right down to my feet and to my finger tips. It did 1st start as a constant numbness in my right hand that had the surgery then 3 days later went to my left and has stay that way 24/7. About a week after that started I was sitting in my car and looked down had got that weird tingling down my spine like when your cell phone viberates. I must say I think I screwed up going to the chiro because after that the sensation was stronger then before. Mare

Ok todays the MRI day 12:00 the doctors gace me a valuim to take since I get sick in those machines after they inject the contrast with out that stuff I'm ok but. Have to call and see if my blood tests came back also Wish me luck Mare
