This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Courtney developed a new symptom early this morning, very difficult to explain but here goes...

the back-right side of her head has a sort of numbness, similar to the numbness when your hand/foot goes to sleep and it feels a bit cooler than the rest of her body. If she takes her palm and applies a small bit of pressure on her head for a couple of seconds when she releases it feels like her hand is still there, like an imprint for a few seconds and then dissipates. Felt it for the first time at around 545am, and it does seem to be going away the longer she is up. Said it kinda feels like she has electrodes on her scalp that is making her head lightly spasm. Its not painful thank goodness.

Very strange one. Wonder if this type of symptom would justify the MRV in insurance eyes.

Well this new symptom is persisting, but after a weekend of experiencing it Courtney is better able to describe it.

She describes it like having a pencil behind your right ear that is randomly pulsing. No pain which is good but a very odd symptom.

Interesting, thanks for posting.

Did she have unusual sensations similar to this before at any time?

I think this might be an indication of some impending neurological improvement, difficult to judge, but there can be spasm, shooting pains, stabbing pains and pins and needles senstations prior to a significant change. Time will tell.
