Your condition might be due to many things but it is very wise to start by
seeing your GP who may well refer you to a neurologist.

I was 48 when my MS manifested with pins and needles in my left leg then
numbness; this was followed a few days later by my right leg giving way in a
London Tube station... just like in the MS Society ad that ran in the UK some
years later!

My GP referred me immediately - on the phone, there and then - to a
neurologist as we both thought it might be a TIA (mini-stroke) and I had fears
that it was a brain tumour... not too many people return from a neurologist
appointment with a grin as I was so relieved that it was *not* a tumour!

In retrospect, my fine-motor control had been getting worse for about five or
six years which is a bummer when you are a writer and musician; I'd also had a
few occasions of mild numbness. All of these still continue but, at least, I
know what they are due to now.

MS or, rather, our faulty brains work in mysterious ways.

I hope your symptoms are nothing serious and easily cured.
