Numbness, Tingling In Hands, Wrist, Ankles. Hands Weak. Had Cognitive Trouble, Brain Slow. Going Through Pre Menupause
I have been having numbness and tingling in my hands, wrists, and forearms, also feet, ankles and calves. I was troubled a year or so ago with cognitive trouble I thought ... adding or skipping letters in words when I write or type. Neurologist did testing, found nothing wrong, but said my brain is slow ... didn't have a cause. But I was ok since I was most concerned with tumor or alzheimers or something like that. I have noticed a distinct weakening of the strength in my hands. I am 53 and going through pre-menapause, so chalked a lot up to that ... and getting older. But recently i've been getting concerned. I looked up symptoms of MS and got scared as I read. I have my annual doc's appointment on 11/4. Should I ask about MS?

Hi, you are 53 years, premenopasual , you are having numbness, tingling of hands, wrist, fore arms, feet, ankles, and calves, and weakening of the hands. One year ago you had cognitive trouble, but not confirmed.
These all appear to be due to the pre menopausual defeciency of the harmones. I advise you to consult an endocrinologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
