To Ally-Arrwell. I could have written your plea for advice as I have same symptoms as your daughter. I had a relapse soon after going home from Burwood hospital rehab ward – just 4 weeks. I am not independent, I am numb from knees down. Did suffer from terrible burning & pain in legs but drug Gabapentin has reduced burning. I have had many falls whereby I drop straight down like lightening and there is no way I can get up. Strength goes from arms, core body and legs. I also have balance issues. My hands are also numb and there are days when I am unable grip anything. I am currently on my second stint in Burwood rehab ward. The relapse has done more damage to the myelin which may or may not recover.. I wish your daughter well and to try and keep positive. Marg L-H Christchurch
