Possible MS?

I’ve been having numbness in my hands while sleep. I wake up and the numbness subsides. I also have tingles in my forearms sometimes. All these symptoms seem to occur while lying down. At one point I did feel some numbness in my face. I haven’t had any other symptoms. Can this be MS? A CT brain was done in the ER and was negative, all labs within normal range. Just scared about these symptoms. I’m very active in the gym, could this possibly be a pinched nerve mimicking MS symptoms? Could my crazy anxiety be contributing? Any input would be so very appreciated. Thank you so much!!!

Very nervous and scared,

Danny

    I was the same way. Numbness tingling only when I slept it would come and go. It happened for almost 2 years. MS is so different for every person. My vision went weird that’s when I finally went to ER and they found one lesion on my brain. Got a lumbar tap and was positive for MS bands. Honestly my gut tells me if I would have went to the ER and got a MRI of my brain in the 2 years I was having symptoms it would have not shown any lesions.
