I found that keeping my feet cool at all times, including bed time helped. As a matter of fact, till this day I sleep feet exposed (no blankets) over the end of my bed. I haven\'t fully recovered, my left foot has been numb for 3 years. Sometimes (every night in the summer) I have a fan blowing on my feet. I don\'t know, for me cool/cold feet help. Good luck I personally had my 1st attack similar to what you are describing in my feet 3 years ago. I found that keeping my feet cool at all times, including bed time helped.

This illness forced me to use a wheelchair for a 1.5 years after I was married; but, after getting a divorce, and taking a lot of vitamins, and then getting acupuncture from a reputable doctor, ALL of my symptoms went away! I have been getting acupuncture for over 17 years, and I would suggest that you seek a doctor who gives this treatment in your area. A good place to search, would be your local telephone book, or the internet. Try to avoid unnecessary stress; try to exercise on a daily basis, eat as many fruits and vegetables per day that you can, and have the hope tht you will get better! Good luck with curing your symptoms. Sincerely, Nina Registered Psychologist with MS!!! Hello,

One might object, but it's nowhere near as nasty as prednisone!
