Does anyone else suffer with numbness in both feet? My Doctor says this is not my MS. It only will effect one side of the body.
It get worse when I lay down. but makes getting around much harder.

i have it in my toes, but it is because of herniated disk. I believe the involvement with MS is that my core is weak and more pressure is on the spine leading to the herniation. I will get a fusion before too long.

Doctors are full of sh1t. I had exactly the same thing and the Doc told me it was because I was overbreathing and thus Co2 levels too low in my blood. 4 months later - Optic Neuritis attack.

I hope it isn't MS but my advice would be to immediately adopt damage limitation measures including;

Vitamin D - 4000iu or more
Omega 3's - at least 2 grams a day (6 grams of fish oil - NOT COD LIVER)
Zinc - to keep uric acid levels up
Magnesium - balance Ca uptake from extra Vit D
B12 - incase symptoms relate to B12 deficiency


None of the above will do you any harm and won't cost too much
