weird stuff again

[miika]

hi friends.

I feel bad. I don`t know what this is. I`ve had this before, but it`s scary: Increased sense of smell. I can smell everything too good! Am I going nuts? It`s funny because I have allergies and my nose/sinuses are full of crap, so I should not smell anything. I feel so tempted to google again, aarrggh. Is this another anxiety symptom? please lie to me it is.

another problem. I noticed I have this small numb area in my leg, right under the knee. It does not really bother, but makes me think I have ms again. I`ve had something similar in my other leg, then it was most probably lower back related or something. I don`t know, feels like it`s all starting all over again

Anxiety can heighten all of your senses including smell so maybe its that? I've seen stuff before whenever i've been really anxious not like hallucinations but like lights and shapes that weren't there and my psych told me it was anxiety. It its an anxiety symptom and i'm not lying. Please don't google it won't help you it'll just make it worse no googling 
Numbness that was severe or made it hard for you to move or walk or function woudl be MS not what your having i don't think.

Mikka,increased sense of smell that happens to me too, and sometimes i notice i can hear better too i pick up all little sounds, that is probably anxiety because our bodies are more aware, kind of like when an animal when they see a lion coming....they need their senses to be sharp...as for the numbness, is it actually numb or does it just feel different or just a little weird.  im jus curious if u ever got an MRI to rule out MS cuz that will help u from freaking out anytime u feel numbness to at least know its not MS

I think that smelling thing is gone now...

About numbness. Yeah it`s like 80% numb "spot" in my calf (front, under knee). It does not prevent me walking or anything. Yes, I`ve had brain MRI about 2 years ago, and it was fine. back then I had much much worse symptoms, but it was all anxiety.
