How much time does the numbness and tingling feeling stay for people affected with MS? Is it constant for a long duration or does it last for only a few seconds and go away with little movement?

I was Diagnosed in 2008 and I still have numerous & tingling. Sometimes it’s only in my hands & feet but there are times head, face, and my behind.
I think I just get used to it being there. I don’t know if this helps or what you want to hear. I hope you are doing great

Hi Debajit,
thanks for the great question and something that so many of us here experience. https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/numbness-tingling/
For myself, I experience the numbness and mostly tingling in my right hand to the point that sometimes I can't feel what I'm holding. A warm microwaveable pack helps me somewhat. Also when walking, I'll have it on the bottom of my right foot. For me, it's not a constant thing and has been off and on these last 3 years.
Hope this is helpful.

I was diagnosed in 2016 and my hands are usually permanently numb but at night I get very intense tingling on my arms and legs that last about 45min to an hour. I usually try to get used to it or not think about it, massages don't make it go away but it feels good.
