Hi there. I know that it is a very scary thing to think that it may be MS but it is entirely possible. The numb body parts and your hands falling asleep when you know full well that you are not compressing anything sure does sound like it may be MS. Have you been to see a doctor? Please do not think that if it is MS that your life is over. Surely it will be a different life but not one that is anything but just changed. My advise to you would be to look into the LDN treatment cuz if you can halt any further progress of it, especially before you have any permanent damage, your life will be relatively unchanged. First, get tested to be sure it is MS and not something like Lyme disease. There are several diseases that can mimic MS. You might ask your sister about some of those symptoms. Just keep in mind that MS can manifest itself in people in different ways. It's just a matter of where in the nervous system the myelin has been affected. Good luck to you and please do not hesitate to write me off list ok? {{{hugs}}} JoyceF
