I am in a relapse. With this one I am getting very cold hands and partway up my arm. The same area that my tingling occurs. It is cold to the touch but worse painfully cold in general.

Is cold hands, arms, feet, ever an MS symptom. I need to get all my symptoms together to discuss with my neuro on Monday.

Thanks for any input.

I don't know about during a relapse that you get colder. If that's the case, I have had MS since I was 5!

Let me know what your Neuro said , I am interested!

yes for sure bring up with neuro..i don't think this is an ms symptom...feeling muscles are hot is an ms symptom...but you have heard the "saying just because we have ms does not mean evert thing is ms"...in the past someone thought cold limbs were ms ,was fighting for a diagnosis ended up at mayo, it turned out to be ReyesSyndome...not certain there is a treatment for that?...if you are older it can mean your bloods not pumping correctly to keep you limbs warm and i think i see advertisements of some type of med for that...i don't think its ms--but i'm no doc,
your neuro is, so he can direct you to where you need to get the symptom looked at...that is a nice feature about having ms...easy access to a doc for questions

My hands and feet are either red & hot or icy cold. They also itch & it also makes it hard to sleep. My Neuro says I have secondary reynauds. Look it up, you see it more with autoimmune diseases.
