I have not been onsite in a long time but have a question.
I have been wintering in florida for last 2 months and have this very uncomfortable feeling of like a bug bite or being stuck with a pin or needle. or bugs crawling on me.
I know it is not bug bites as no one in household has bites plus i have not seen any bugs at times of bites.
I have been very careful about sun protection, have not been sun burned once this year, have gotten good color but no burns.
Have not had any issues with heat as we are on the beach and up on the seventh floor it has not been over 82 degrees with a great breaze. and have not been fatigue from the heat.
The same thing happened last year and i keep thinking it was bugs food reactions sun or heat but was never able to figure out last year so I have been very careful to follow what was happening this year. So when it came back this year this year I am at a lost as what causing this other than the wonders of the MonSter.
I have 3 more weeks before I head home to Jackson, WY
I really want to come back next year as it was -28 degeres below zero when i left home and it still winter thier.
So to my question any suggestion to whats going on or what I am missing or what be doing differant. As I'm miserable rite now.
Thanks Charlie

In the meantime try aloe vera gel or lotion or tea tree lotion, they are sunburn lotions/gel & ease the sting. May sound weird but that will sometimes sooth it depending on where it is.
if so it could be it.
When we are warm our lesions swell so our symptoms can be a bit worse.
Yrs ago before I found out I have MS I would feel a spot on my leg that felt like a bug ran over it. I have had a pinching / itching/ stinging / felt like needles going in. / and what I call an itch needle (an intense spot of itch)
so the warmer weather could be making some of your symptoms worse.
There might not be much you can do about it though
