@grass16 Several years ago I had the. Pins and needles followed by numbness that started in my feet and traveled up to my face. My MRIs showed nothing until they repeated them with contrast dye. The lesions on my spinal cord lit up like bright white LED bulbs. I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. Its an inflammation and demyelination of the spinal cord.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will definitely ask my doctors if they will considering running that for me. Are your symptoms chronic? Mine are more acute and kind of inconsistent in their presence, so unsure if it lines up with that. Were you also checked for MS?
