I just need someone with experience to reassure me.

Slight blurred vision in left eye.
Slight numbness in left cheek and hand.
Slight weakness in muscles.
Feelings of not being real and phantom left side of body.

I just am freaking out all these things point to MS.

I have to wait weeks for my neurologist appointment. :(

Anxiety is well known to mimic MS

I've thought I've had MS before. My leg muscles spasm a lot and I get numbness in some parts of my body. My mum reassured me it definitely was not MS!

How long does your numbness last?

Hi, last year I had an episode whilst watching tv. I went totally numb down my left side, got taken into hospital, had all sorts of tests including migrane, I was numb for weeks after it, anout 6 weeks I think. They diagnosed me as having complex migranes, I had no headache, no aura, no nothing other than numb and very anxious. Try not to stress and speak with your doctor as soon as you can for your own peace of mind x

I wonder if that's what I've got, it started after I had a similar episode just sitting chatting - I had the same thing, it was a migraine. So maybe it's just left over nerve things from that?

I have to wait for my neurology appointment.

Did you get pins and needles too?
