bilateral tingling

Sorry all,

I have already posted today, don't know if I'm allowed to post again or not.

I have a strange question, but here goes.

When my tingling returns its always in the same spot in my feet.

Does anyones else get tingling in both feet in the same spot at the same time?

I alway get it on the outer edge of both feet.

Mine are usually on the left side: toes, side of upper back, arm, scalp.  Sometimes I have them on the right side also, but it is never at the same time as the other.  HTH.

My tingling is bilateral as I think you already know.

I have finally been diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy as of yesterday after nerve studies.  

As you know this is quite a rare disease so probably is not the cause of your tingling feet.

When I wrote back to you I thought you had already been for your T3 MRI.

I just read another of your posts and it said you haven't yet been, I think I saw that on the Dr's Forum.
When you have been to that perhaps our Dr "P S" will have some answers for you.

I will keep hoping for you, hang in there.

I look forward to the new thread. My symptoms are fairly bilateral. Maybe not exactly, but on the whole I seem to develop the same symptoms on both sides at the same time. I sometimes wonder if that's because the lesions in my spine are all in the "central substance" or "central cord" so maybe they're somewhat symmetrical. Pure speculation on my part.

This is one of the most confusing things in talking about what MS does and what it doesn't do.

Actually, MS will affect something on each side of the body very frequently.  The question is how perfectly symmetrical is it usually and does the "onset" happen in a perfectly symmetrical fashion.

Transverse Myelitis is often pretty symmetrical because the lesion may actually extend all the way across the spinal cord (it "transverses the cord").  this would be the one situation in MS that symptoms could appear exactly on both sides at the same time, because TM is also a syndrome seen in MS also.

So, it's not that it is IN the cord, but because the lesion may goe all the way across and so it hits the same spot in the nerves for each side of the body.

I will do a separate thread on this soon.

My paresthesias are sort of bilateral.  The one in my waist is only on the left.  The ones in my hands and forearms are on both sides, stronger on the left, and affect the ring fingers and pinkies.  But my right foot gets stabbed in the sole, and it never happens in my left.  My right calf is in a constant state of slight spasm lately.

I have transverse myelitis, which is another demyelinating disease of the cervical spine.  The bilateral-ness is due to the lesions being in the spinal cord instead of the brain, I think.  In fact, having bilateral symptoms is one of the factors considered in deciding between TM and MS, or if TM is the beginning of MS.

Not so but maybe thought so in 2009.  I have unequivocal and had walked it off at least a decade maybe two because I went to the doctor if I was dead.  Had multiple symptoms that I overlooked or dealt with.  I have bilatteral paresthesias in my feet, both at the same time causing a world of mobility issues often making walking difficult.  I had a very serious attack twp years ago that led to diagnosis and was introduced to MS in a way that few are and have experienced what those diagnosed many years ago still never had.  And why has a majority of MS info fallen by the wayside?  Evemthempst notable sites seem to have lost interest since 2009 and more in 2007.  Where is everybody?

Except that I also just realized that Melissa's asking about the *exact same spot bilaterally." I've thought about it, and I don't think any of my buzzes/pains are in the exact same spot bilaterally. There are specific places for each foot/limb. After I walk or exercise, both feet are just one big buzz/tingle for awhile, so that's not even really specific.

I'm sure this hasn't helped one little bit. Sorry! :)

Well there you go, Bio just proved that there is an exception to everything!

And I forget to clarify--I am not diagnosed with MS. I am diagnosed with demyelinating disease of the cervical spine. Which is really just an equivocation, but that's another story.

Hi Melissa,
You are welcome to post here as many times as you want - when we were new at this we also had lots of questions trying to figure out this MiSerable disease.  It can be very confusing trying to sort out what is and isn't MS.  

MS would not normally affect both sides of the body at the same time.  There are times that there is an exception to this, but usually not.  

be well,
Lulu

There is not any limit to posts on this forum as far as I know.

Yes, I get tingling and other paresthesias in predictable places. I actually think of them as "my usual areas." And I get them bilaterally now, although it didn't start out that way. At first, it was only my right foot. Now it is both feet and legs.
