Hi Everyone,
OK, since I'm a newbie, I need a little help.
Since all my symptoms started, they have predominently been on my left side (left leg weakness, spasticity, tremors, tingling, pinpricks, numbness, etc.) You get the picture.
The last few days I've been starting to have the same symptoms on my right leg (although, not all of the symptoms).
Would that mean a new attack / flair? I'm not even for sure what to call it.
Should I call my new MS neurologist to let them know or not?
Thanks everyone,
Kelly
Early after diagnosis the doc should hear about all new things. After a while you both will get an idea of what needs to be reported and what doesn't. Also, you should ask what things you should call about. In my experience they want to hear just about everything that is new or different.
Yes, the appearance of symptoms in a new/different limb is definitely a new attack/relapse. Or if you are just entering a relapse it is a continuation of that one. A new relapse indicates that you have been in a remission (a period of 30 or more days where your symptoms had improved or stabilized).
Also, all the things that Wobbly said - timeline and such.
