If you have multiple sclerosis, how do you feel about it? We
may live with all sorts of emotions, as we battle the MS MonSter. But from a
physical standpoint, we might face a loss of feeling in random body parts.
Maybe a foot or hand goes numb. It might be a shoulder, the
neck, or the face. Numbness could even strike the tongue, impairing speech and making swallowing
difficult or even perilous for a while.
The numbness MS can bring could be temporary or permanent. Sometimes
it starts with pins-and-needles tingling, and sometimes it simply starts. That’s
part of the uncertainty of living with this thing.
MSers don’t tend to be apathetic, callous, detached, or
insensitive. But we can certainly be numb.

I'm very hopeful for a new drug my family member is on at the moment that might help. Thanks for the continued posts on this subject.
