HI. I have had spates over the years of my arms going numb and unable to loft or clench hands, also occasionally when I get to stand up my legs are numb and give way. The last week my symptoms have been continuous and I am unable to do anything until around midday due to the inability to use my arms. I am also aware that I am omitting the smell of burnt matches. I am on a statin for high cholesterol and also had treatment for hrt due to going through my menapause. Could this be MS?
