Hi Just need some advice (relatively newly diagnosed RRMS) I have recovered (as much as I’m going to) from the relapse that got me the diagnosis. Been on the level/baseline for about 5-6 months now. Living my ‘normal’ life. For past 1.5 weeks I have been getting a tingling over one side of my face and my chin. It’s not sharp or pricking, it’s very light & gentle, feels like I’ve got 100 ants marching over my face. It’s not numb to touch but feels like it’s leading up to a numbness. It lasts a few minutes then goes away and can happen 2-3 times a day, some days not at all, other days several times. As the days go on, I feel like it’s spreading slightly further/wider on my face and slightly more intense, but it doesn’t hurt. It’s just weird. I have no other illnesses/viruses going on. No dental/mouth/teeth pain. I am not stressed or under any pressure. I have got some head pain back again, not headache but the type of headpain I had during last relapse only milder and intermittent. (During last relapse it was constant). I am making the assumption that it’s an MS thing but I haven’t told anybody. First question: Does this sound familiar to anybody? Second question: Should I do anything about it / tell my MS Nurse, so that it’s ‘logged’? Or just wait and see if things gets worse or go away? Thanks in advance for your guidance! ---

if you can’t get hold of your ms nurse, tell your GP so that it gets logged on your records. good that it doesn’t cause pain. carole x ---

I added it to my list last year of increasing or new symptoms, now there is a massive list. It shows roughly the date it started so I have some sort of tracker on what is going on. It tends to be close to a period of not being able to feel my head, sounds weird. If I touch my face or head, I know it is there but I cannot feel it either through my skin or fingers, it is a bit odd. Never lasts for more than a day. I can touch my head in the mirror, see what is happening and not feel it. I get tingling on my ankles too aswell as my face. I have found that light massive with a nice oil tends to alleviate it a bit. ---

Get it logged, it certainly sounds like a relapse. The more relapses you have, the more likely you are to get on a good strong drug that will slow down your deterioration (or may reverse it if the one you choose is Lemtrada).
