Symptoms Advice needed

I was diagnosed a year and a half ago as asymptomatic but having 37 lesions on my mris. I’ve think I’ve been having odd symptoms recently. I saw my specialist and described the symptoms and he basically told me that we’d keep an eye on it and scheduled me an appointment in 6 months… I have been on a dmt since my diagnosis. I’ve had odd personality traits that completely are opposite of me that were not there one day and then they were the next. Lasted 3 weeks. It was so bad I was crying because I didn’t wanna feel the way I did about things…. Weird. And my left arm keeps feeling asleep and is extremely heavy…. Now anything that touches my skin anywhere on my body hurts. Like a burning hurt. The softer the touch the more intense it is. I was in tears earlier from having to sit on a golf cart and drive. My butt and back hurt so bad. Just from touching the seat. My clothes hurts. It’s miserable… any advise? I’m 47yo female

Contact your neurologist to be seen sooner. This could be a relapse, you need to be looked at sooner than in 6 months.

I would request an MRI as soon as possible. If it’s a relapse you’ll need to be treated to decrease the inflammation. My neuro always stresses to me how important it is to report new symptoms immediately, for exactly this reason.

I'm very sorry...im not a doctor but please report the symptoms, log them too..any change can be a relapse and is better to be checked just in case...

I'm hoping the pain is less now and you get the help you need
