Hi Allison, I just noticed your question. In Jan, 2008, I also presented with right side numbness from my foot to my chest. My right foot felt like a block of wood. The docs think I've had MS since my late 30's. I'm now 59. My latest flare was the result of pneumonia & 3 weeks of very hot weather. Making it worse, our car's air conditioner was broken. I spent 14 days in the hospital, 5 of those on hi-dose IV Solumedrol. Since the pneumonia began, maybe 4 months ago, I've had weird headaches with dizziness AND confusion, stabbing pain over one eye that seems to switch sides then travel over my head, a line of distortion in my lower rage of vision, like a crack in a window, & a blurred left eye. (It seems like my eyes don't work together.) I've also had pain in my upper back on the right side, like a small tight fist. They thought this was the pneumonia, but now I wonder. Right side limp is also now present with foot dragging. The inability to speak, think clearly, or write well is very distressing to me. I've always been very articulate. I understand your feelings. As a professional artist, the visual changes are also VERY frightening. Before this flare, I never had a diagnosis of migraine, just sinus headache. Now I wonder if they WERE sinus related. I PERSONALLY believe this is absoutely MS stuff. I will be seeing my Neuro later this month & I'll let you know what HE thinks. Try to be positive. So little is understood about this illness & the symptoms can be so varied & frightening. And the Docs don't seem to agree on anything either. I try to remind myself daily of all the body functions I still have & list all the things that are good in my life. When MS stuff is happening to us, it's very hard to be up-beat & sometimes I feel like my friends & family are sick of seeing or hearing my distress. Can't really blame them. You have to experience it to understand this daily nightmare. That's why we have each other. You are now one of my "Peeps". (That means "my People") Talk to me anytime. God bless us all, Katkan
