Hi,Is lightening pain in fingers a part of the BFS-picture? I have this a lot.. it comes sudden, last for a second - over and over again, feels like ligtening.. specially in my pinky finger (but can have it in all fingers). And and struggelig with a deep pain in my thighs.. have found nothing that helps:( Comes and goes.. I feel desperate when the pain is at its worst.Tonight I woke up and couldn't feel my left arm at all. It has happened before. The feeling comes back quite quickly with movement, but it's so scary, and when it has not happened for a week or two i think it will never come back, but then suddenly it does...:(I'm scared now..going for new MR tomorrow. Because I hade a positive/pathologic VEP on two occations - inflammations on the optic nerves - both eyes. In 50 % of the cases with such a result, the patiens develops MS within a year, and that's why I going for a new MR tomorrow. I have thousands of questions and thoughts in my head now.. can it really be MS? I took MR (without contrast)and spinal punction (dont know the English words...) in april, had then had the symptoms for about four mounths..was normal then.. The VEP was in May.. I know I will not get the results before two weeks or so after the MR.. wil be hard waiting..On Monday I'm going to a pain clinic and to the Lyme center (for blood tests.. ) And the 24. of Sept I'm going to hospital (the best/biggest official hospital in the country - my local hospital have sent a referral there) Wonder if I will get some answers this mounth..
 
Hi, I am in BFS for a year now and in he last two months I started to feel pain in joints, specially wrists and elbows. It is a migrating pain, that comes and goes, as you said. The pinky also hurts. At night tingling and numbness in hand is very common, but it goes away after changing position (unlikely MS numbness). In my case, I think that all the symptoms I have been experiencing are part of a somatization disorder (fasciculation, brainfog, tinnitus, tremor, pain...). Like you, I also fear MS, but BFS is much more likely to be the cause of our problems.
