Dear Regina,
Great to be in this group. You're not alone.
I get the numbness sometimes pins needles on my face scalp. Drives me
nuts when it hits my nostrils.
My sense of smell is off too. The smell of grains sometimes makes me gag
(bread, cereal, rice, etc.)
Nothing shows up in my head on MRI but who knows. The neuro isn't worried
about it so why should I be?
The eye problem is different. You really should see your doctor about that.
Wish me luck guys. My first appointment at the MS Rehab Centre today. My
neuro is not happy with my 'decline'. It is my intention to throw away my
walker and to mount my cane over the fireplace. Now isn't that positive of me,
lol?

P.S. After TM, they added 'possible' MS but that was 9 yrs. ago

Subject: [TMIC] New symptom. Yikes!
The throbbing, itching, sort of numbness that has plagued me on the scalp,
ears, left cheek... has now moved to my lips and tip of my tongue. This
morning, coffee tasted weird. I've never heard anything like that mentioned
anywhere from the group. My left leg is also getting weaker; I don't feel my
left foot very much.
Something weird is going on with my right eye. Reading and focusing is a
problem. The ophthalmologist has checked everything and finds nothing to be
concerned about.
Limbs numb. Okay, I understand. That's TM. But the head! Do I
have to look forward to a numb head? Wish I could go to the Seattle symposium,
but I can't travel alone and can't get anyone to go with me. Will someone ask
Dr. Kerr this question for me? Please.
Thanks.
R
