I just found out that my mom may have Multiple Sclerosis. It's not a verified diagnosis yet, but it's the prime contender for the numbness and muscle spasms she's been having. An MRI of her head revealed an "abnormality" in the brain, and the neurologist wants to do a number of other tests (including a spinal tap) to pin down the actual disorder.

Pardon me while I digest all of this.
