Hello again,
I've read lots of posts in the forum about any kind of symptom caused by HA, but almost all of them are lasting for hours or for days. So if it disappears after a few days it's almost 100% to be just HA.

However in my case the weak feeling in my left leg (and now in my arms also) never disappears. It fluctuates a lot, but it's always there. It all started with a HA attack about 3 months ago.

Anyone with long lasting symptoms like this? Is it still possible to be HA?

Thanx

I've had blood tests and a scan on a lump on my neck but when your constantly in pain without being given a clue of what it is its worrying. Plus I have three bruise looking marks on my arms which have been there a few months so they are freaking me out. At docs Friday but I'm dreading it. I get the weakness you describe but I have pain with it too x

I had my first anxiety symptoms two years ago (although it feels like yesterday). I had really bad back pain, the doctor told me it was muscle pain but i was convinced I had something alot more sinister. I had this pain for five months in total and one day I had realised it was gone. I get numerous symptoms they seem to affect my left side more. One example recently I had had pain and discomfort in my left breast I was convinced I had Breast cancer. I had had this for about four weeks. I went to see my GP who examined me listened to the other symptoms I had and reassured me. The next day The pain had gone. Any symptoms I get I worry its something sinister and they have lasted a long time some of them. I try to take one day at a time. Hope this helps x x :hugs:

Hi. I am having weakness and tingling in my forearms, hands, lower legs and feet. I too am worried about ms. It started about a month ago when I was camping, I felt a slight tingle in my right arm. It went away and I felt it a few weeks later. I then noticed that when I went running both arms would feel a bit numb and I would have to shake them. Since then all limbs feel numb and tingly. I wake a few times in the night with dead arms and hands and feel panicky. Each morning I wake wondering if the symptoms have gone, but sadly this morning I feel the same. I am in Spain at the moment and don't come home for another week so am desperately trying to forget about things. I don't want to ruin our family holiday. I am 38 and ms is usually diagnosed between 20-40 apparently so I am still in the zone! My uncle doesn't think I have ms as my eyesight is fine and I am feeling it in all limbs. He says it's usually one sided. He is not a doc tho but suffers with psrkinsons and knows his stuff. When I was feeling the numbness in my arm I googled and ms came up so I do wonder if I have brought these symptoms on?!!! It's do' hard to distinguish from HA and reality. Am trying to relax and forget but it's so hard when you feel it all the time. Any tips. Please can you help? Thanks xx

Your ancle is right that usually doesnt affect all limps. In my case its mostly the left lrg and the arms. I dont have any tips but reassurance from the docs works for me. Im planning to see a neeuro soon

I had the back pain all the time. But in the evening's it would seem 100 times worse. Once the medication kicked in and I relaxed it settled down. I remember phoning the doctor and saying I cant believe how long I have had this pain for!! His reply "If it was something serious you would have known by now " Almost instantly I felt reassured and calm. It wasnt long after that my symptoms subsided. Sometimes just a sympathetic Doctor can ease the symptoms. I know when I get a symptom the hardest thing is trying to reassure myself it isnt something serious. Its easier said than done not a day goes by without a thought popping into my head ! What if its this or that. All I would suggest go to see your G.P explain your symptoms and your worries. Take care x x :hugs::hugs:
