Sorry, it's me again. You remember that thread I started about having jelly for legs? My arm seems to have gone really weird. NHS direct are a bit useless. What would you do?

It's coming and going, it's like jelly too, very little co ordination. I did call NHS direct yesterday as my ankles were going numb and had a cold/tingly feeling going up my legs and into my feet. The numbness was a new symptom, the nurse didn't appear to have heard when I said this and said to call back if my feet went numb . Is it worth leaving until Tomorrow when I can see the GP or does it need looking at now?

Thankyou.

Hi Fluffy, I'm no doctor and i didn't see your other thread but i'd just like to say that when i'm really stressed out, especially when i don't know i am iyswim then my fingers go numb and my arms tingle. It's always a sure sign to me that i need to relax and calm down. Are you stressed at the mo?

Nope. I've had it all day. I have been referred to a neurologist as I have symptoms of MS. The hand doesn't want to type or be controled at the moment. It's coming and going though.

That sounds quite scary Fluffy. Do you think a trip to A&E would help tonight - there will be alot of piss heads on a bank holiday - or see your GP first thing?

Sorry if my stress stuff seemed trite.

It's OK, stress can do loads of weird things. I'll wait to see the GP tomorrow or wait until Wednesday, I have a private appointment with a neurologist that I have not cancelled yet, I may just pay and go rather then wait a couple of weeks for a NHS appointment. It's getting late to drag ds out now.
