2 Year Anniversary with BFS

[DirtySouthwestGuy]

Hello,I am approaching my 2 year anniversary with good ole BFS, at least that's what i hope i have. I haven't been on this site for a while now as my symptoms had all but disappeared, apart from the twitching, that's still there, just less intense and i don't pay it as much attention these days. Today, what brings me back here is yet more numbness. My little toe on my right foot has been numb from the minute i woke up this morning. I have a major fear of MS, i can live with the twitching, but when i get anything sensory it sends me into a panic.I have had a clear brain MRI but still i'm scared that i have MS.Just looking for a little reassurance i guess Thanks Zoe

Glad to hear you are fine after 2 years. I have had a similar experience with numbness in my left pinkie and 4th toe. It lasted for a few weeks off and on. I don't notice that much anymore. I really don't think it's anything to worry about. Your clean brain MRI says it all.

Zster,You don't have anything to worry about. I had the same thing with my pinky toe for a few weeks and it set me off on a bit of a scare. It seems that new sensations for me pop up seemingly at random but when I look back, there was definitely a bit of anxiety that could have set it off. And then the health anxiety/stress kicks in to amplify anything that I may have been feeling. Yet even with a clean MRI and the all clear from several doctors including my brother, I still have let the fear creep back in. When I stop obsessing about my health, things seem to get better. Figure out what you need to do to stop worrying so much, whether that be talking to your family, a doctor, a therapist or perhaps it is exercise or a vacation. And good luck feeling better.
