Today for the first time my feet started tingling really bad when I got out of the shower...My fingers usually tingle afterwards, but never my feet. I used to think my fingers tingled because of the meds I was taking for my migraines, but now i'm not too sure. Why else would my feet just randomly start tingling one day? Any one else have this?

Well, it happens to some of us. There doesn't necessarily have to be a reason. Do you take a warm of hot shower? That could be it. I had a consistent tingling for about a month last year. Check with your doctor. Be well!

I had that a couple of yrs ago in the shower pretty good then it was gone

deleted_user 11/12/2007

mine tingle or are numb at random times.if yours are only doing it after a shower then try taking a cooler shower and see if it was the heat causing it

I tingle randomly in several places (wow, that sounds like a bad joke.)Feet were my first MS symptom ever, now I get tingling in my left lip/cheek, my fingers, and still the feet at times. also notice my feet will "fall asleep" faster than they ever used to if I am positioned funny or cross my legs too long when sitting. Ah, the pleasures of MS.

My feet and legs tingle all the way up to my hips. They've gone that for about 2 years now. One good thing...you almost get used to the feeling. But some days it gets worst then others. When it gets too bad, my doctor puts my on the IV steroids which helps a little. I know how you're feeling!!!

deleted_user 11/12/2007

i always wondered about that, the feet falling asleep quickly! it seems like i am always crossing and recrossing my legs because my feet will fall asleep after like 10 min...and tw, i don't take hot showers because i can't take hot temps :)

My feet always tingle after I shower. (Not to mention my hands, face, head, butt cheeks...) I can't avoid it unless I shower at the exact same tempeture as the room I was in...It lasts until my body temp returns to normal.

i have this constantly! almost non-stop for 3 maybe 4 years, you really do get used to it though. Its funny..when it gets really bad taking a warm shower actually helps, sort of to numb the creey crawlies.

deleted_user 11/16/2007

I tingle everyday in various places. Mostly my left foot and then it travels up my leg.

I CAN RELATE TO THE NUMBNESS.FOR ME IT HAPPENS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO.

I have had tingling sensations in my hands and feet at the onslaught of my first diagnodsis {3/12/08}. I have been diagnosed two months now and have gone back to work, but the tingling has never gone away like my neurologist thought...I'm still waiting.

Have you had any success with your tingles?

deleted_user 05/31/2008

I have had the tingling in my feet, legs, arms, hands, chest, back, face.... randomly and to varying degrees for the past 18+ months. I've since had clear MRIs and nerve conduction tests, and recently these symptoms have eased (though they still persist). I therefore don't have an MS diagnosis and think instead I'm just going bonkers as no one else gets what I mean :P

I have had tingling, pins and needles and burning sensation in my legs and feet for years and I found the medical term for this just last month in the latest issue of MSFOCUS. "Feelings of tingling,burning or numbness,which are caused by lesions in the central nervous system, are known as 'dysesthesias'. Literally translated from the Greek,this means "bad sensation".

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
