PPMS?
Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 12:28 pm
Please help, I could use some advice feedback.
A little history of my 'condition'.
Starting 4-5 years ago I had tingling feelings in my legs, which were transient, they would come and go every few days. I started getting them in my arms as well, and some days my entire arm would go numb. It was terribly irritating, but not debilitating. Went to the ER, they referred me to a neurologist. Had lots of tests done (including MRI), nothing conclusive.
The tingling in my legs has progressed to where it's a 24/7 ordeal. Many days I feel incredibly tired to where I have to push myself to wake up. When I roll out of bed I feel like the walking dead... then the tingling starts in the morning. Some days my legs feel like jello and it's difficult to walk. Doctors say it may be RLS, but I heard RLS gets better after exercize right? My legs feel like crap after I exercize.
My question is; could this be PPMS where the lesions are mostly in my spine and not in the brain? I say this because my symptoms never really go away, they keep progressing and I don't have other issues like vision problems.
I am a 27 YO male, and otherwise healthy.
