Signs of ms symptoms and conditions

I am a 52 year old male from South Florida. Two years ago my Dr prescribed Lipitor. I started to feel weakness in my legs after mowing the lawn but I dismissed it as just being worn out from the summer heat and humidity. About six months ago the little toe on my left foot became numb and it spread to my other toes. I get continuous spasms in my left big toe and now the toes on my right foot are becoming numb. When I sleep at night I am continuously being woken with leg cramps in my feet, calfs and thighs. My feet feel heavy, my legs feel weak. There are times that I just lose my balance. I have a physical job and when I get home I don't want to do anything. I am going to see a neurologist on 3/31 to see what he thinks. My biggest fear is that I now have permanent damage. I have not read any articles about individuals having a full recovery after stopping the medication.

Today i was proscribed with 50 mh prednisone ,5 tablets .4 times a day so that is 1000mg of prednisone a day has anyone had same thing .i was dyagnosed with optic nuritiritis.i am really scared to take this medicine and so many mg a day. please help!

I am 34 and a mother of 5. Lists are very important to me. I forget everything however there is recall any where between 20 mins and a day or two. Drs think i have early signs of ms. I am going to boston in nov. Hope i can remember ha/ha

I was on another BC pill and was fine. I decided that Yasmin might be a good switch since it touts water/weight loss. I only took ONE PILL and that night I felt like my heart was pumping out of my chest. For the next two weeks, I had signs of angina--chest tightness, left arm pain, left neck pain, and numbness and tingling in my arms and legs. My OB-GYN doctor dismissed my symptoms and told me to see my family dr. My family dr. did have tests done and my brain MRI came up with possible signs of MS! I had to wait 2 months to see a specialist who read the x-rays and found them negative--what a relief. I also told him of Yasmin and he dismissed this possibility. I immediately went off of Yasmin and finally am feeling better after 2 months of taking one pill. I urge everyone to hold their ground and take care of your body and don't let anyone "dismiss" your symptoms. Thanks to everyone for posting your reactions--it certainly validates what I went through.
