OMG! I am being eaten alive by bugs!!!

Of course not really, but does anyone ever have these sensations on the feet that feels like u are being stung or bitten by ants or something? All weekend I have been having these weird sensations, mostly on the feet but occasionally on the hands too. Sometimes it just feels as if bugs are crawling on me but most of the time it feels like I am getting bit. I look and there are no bugs. hmmmm.....

Neurontin is what the doc will give you. This is a common thing with MS.

I know it is a really creapy feeling, but like kellygrn said Neurontin will help you. I'm on that too, sometimes I will have break throughs & still have those feelings but not as bad (they're tolerable) and sometimes it's the beginning of an exacerbation. All I can say is hang in there.....once you are on the Neurontin
it takes care of it almost immediately.
Good luck :)

there's been a couple times it
felt like someone just stuck
me with a needle in my foot or
leg.....it'll take me by surprise, & i'll just jump and yell "ouch" very
embarassing esp. when you are at work or out in public.
I'll look down at my feet &
there's nothing there....must
just be a sensation of the
nerve not getting the proper
message to the brain.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
