creepy crawly itchy sensations - I have RLS so I take my RLS med and or clonipin and follow it off with a hot bath.

I've had many symptoms over the years of having MS but the ones that stand out are, I have gone blind and seen double. Right now I have this issue where I begin to drag my left leg after walking for about 15 minutes.

HEAVY (chronic) fatigue (treatment: pacing myself, naps whenever I am able to). Tingling (a feeling like your body part fell asleep) which grew to pins and needles (prickily needle poke sensations). Periodic loss of control with bladder (incontinence) (treatment: depends), slower reaction to swallowing, slower motor skill of chewing food (treatment: softer foods, milkshake type liquids, soups) , legs feel like Jelly (wobbly) OR legs feel like logs and resist moving WITHOUT pain (treatment: walking with walker at times or using motorized scooter in stores), arms and legs twitch to curl inward via muscle sensation movements. Speech like a slow playing record. Periodic uncontrollable bobbling of head, what I refer to as "bobblehead". Periodic difficulty with grasping objects (what I refer to as the "oopsy dropsies") All over body muscle weakness. Doc/neuro recently evaluating treatment.

I have had symptoms since 1960 so I am farther along than most.

No sensation from the nipple line down.
Swallowing
Can't walk
Don't know where my body is in space
Bladder & bowel control
Absence seizures
Cognitive issues

I am new to my dx's but not to the symptoms. My newest is my face goes numb, right down the middle...the left side feels lik I went to the dentis from in my scalp down to my chin.

otherwise mine is much like all of you, I haven't has the blind thing which I hope to avoid. I do see souble at times. My 'bad side is my left side'. We now have correlle dishes and plastic glasses...

My prayers with you all. I keep thinking my next neuro visit they will say Nope we made a mistake.

Nothing warns you about humidity. I had to find out what this heat sensitivity thing was about myself after getting fustrated trying to reasearch it. No one told me hot showers, hot tubs, baths can make your sx worse when you get out to limit the heat. Well not till I experinced it. I found that extreme temp change drives me crazy like hot showers on a cold day and visa versa. I get real dizzy and can't function. I was trying to figure out the term exaberation so I knew what to expect. Now I was told I had one. Really? I said. Why such a clincal name?

Hi, I have experienced everything everyone is experiencing except the blindness, I have sharp shooting pains in my right side which I have had since early adulthood. Not only am I heat sensitive but I experience coldness in my fingers and toes. If I get cold it takes awhile for me to thaw out type of feeling. I didn't know that coldness was one of the symptoms until I learned it thru the National MS Society.

This is a great idea! I'll try not to repeat what others have said. Diminished sex drive, depression, seeing objects out of the corner of your eye that really aren't there. Memory difficulty. I'm sure that there are several more which haven't been mentioned yet.

The cold extremidies where my feet for no obvious reason will never get warm no matter what I do. Which is a real switch from my usual dripping sweat when no one else is.
I was going to ask if anyone had any ideas to keep cool that I might have not known or forgot.? Aside from parking myself in front of the a/c on its coolest. I got an aha last night - the doc had told me to get -saline nasal spray- for when I have sinus probs. Well it was cool and I found after I used it I felt cooler -like I was breathing in cool air. One more thing I saw on tv they said that - Yawning - is a way to keep your body cool not just bring in more oxigen.
Of course my favorite treatment Ice Cream I have been saying it cures headaches and car sickness since I was young. (could be all in my head)

The sensation of fire in legs and arms. I use ice packs on the area to put the "fire" out.

I have had numbness from the waist down, double vision, vertigo, and the 'hug' a boa constrictor squeezing my chest. These symptoms have been spread out over 12 years and haven't lasted to long as of yet.
Have only had to take temporary meds to get rid of symptoms.

Tremors, shaking, head swaying.

I have found that freezing water bottles (take some water out first or the bottle ruptures) and taking one with me when I run errands is perfect. I have cold water to drink when I get back in the car and I can hold the cold bottle to my forehead, back of neck and inside of wrists for a real quick cooloff.

Along with most of the other symptoms listed, I have also experienced L'Hermitte's sign. That electrical shock sensation when you tilt your head down. Balance issues...not sure if that was listed.

I don't think they bother to mention the "buzzing/vibrating" sensations in the "medical symptoms list", (LOL) that frequently travel to different areas of my body....definately a bizarre one and difficult to explain to neuro. Aside from that, I have numbness/tingling/pins-&-needles, balance issues, shooting/electric-like shocks going through my legs/arms (feels like it's in the bone!), stiffness, severe cognitive/memory issues which includes inability to articulate, comprehend speech at times, severe muscle spasms, head/hand tremors, seeing things in my peripheral vision, hearing things that aren't there, major FATIGUE! Don't think I've left anything out except to say that I'm still undiagnosed for anything except Fibro. at this point!! (Dr.'s have suspected MS) I'm supposed to repeat my MRI's in about 6 months. ~Tonya

uh to mention what I have and am going through (without dr. diagnosis)
1.) numbness and prickly pains in hands and various parts of the body.
2.) Cognitive problems getting worse
3.) RSL
4.) Searing burning patches mostly on legs but have come and gone on other extrmities.
5.) Bathroom problems - getting more pronounced.
6.) vision problems behind the left eye, blurry and out of focus.
7.) Mobility problems, getting difficult to manage getting from place to place.
8.) Problems with heat and cold on the skin.
9.)loss of sexual drive and feelings.
10.)Unable to pick things up or hold onto things.
11.) Lack of coordination and getting dangerously worse - i.e. like trying to cook and clean

There are others which at this moment I can't seem to remember!
MS? nah - right! if this isn't MS I'll be totally shocked!
