Lhermitte's...does it mean progression?
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 10:04 am
Hey, all. I'm fairly new to MS and to this forum. I was diagnosed in October after having several sensory issues (numbness, tingling in my left hand and arm), severe MS hug, and severe burning (like the worst sunburn ever) on my right leg.
Those symptoms have pretty much resolved, but for the past week I've been experiencing what Google tells me is likely Lhermitte's Sign? I get a shock down my right arm and into my hand when I bend my head forward.
Could this just still be from the lesion I already have? Or does it mean that I am having some disease progression?
Oh, and I've been on Copaxone since October. I hate it, but I inject like a champ. Every. Single. Day.
