Yep...so unpredictable and strange. Which is why we have such a hard time explaining our symptoms.

I lost all feeling on hands last week but in morning came back. My upper arms just get heavier some days. At moment have a flare so even leaning on stick is causing pain. But that's MS. Keep strong x

Absolutely! My legs get so heavy especially in am and cold or hot temperatures. My legs feel like I am wearing heavy boots, that go up to my hips! Then there are vodoo pin pains ...in random places from my scalp to the bottom of my feet. Nerve pain sometimes feelshe like POPE ROCKS...SODA BUBBLES. I have random ringers numb...Sometimes foot. Also drop everything mornings. I drop medicine, food, clothing. I have good days ...moments & Bad! But with MS you are always experiencing something. I still work, as a teacher with modified work duties, as a Basic Skill Instructor, through ADA / I have a 504, and an aide to assist me, when I have students. When i was 1still diagnosed MS was the center of my life. God is the center now, and i cope through acceptance, patience, faith. My mantra ""...This Too Shall Pass! "Be Blessed 😊

My right arm gets really heavy, particularly after I've been active so generally in the evening. It's been that way since my last relapse. It's better overall since then, but still happens. I have a hard time doing anything when it feels like that.
