Hi All Thank you for your time looking at my post, generally would like to see if anyone relates to my experience so fare and some questions. Background; male, 26 occupation; OT in Mental Health. Healthy and active lifestyle until recently with anxiety and stress. Haven’t been diagnose; neurologist in 3 weeks. Body sensations, aces and pains. It all started at Christmas time, I started getting tingling in my hands and feet,crawling sensations at the back of my head; went to the doc x2 and all blood tests were fine; the tingling and crawling seemed to clear away after two weeks, At the end of January new symptoms started flare which included a burning/numb lips and palms of hands; these symptoms came and go on a daily bases; and weeks later I started getting prickly zaps mainly on my hands and feet but occasionally on body too (more recently on my body) ; I also get pins and needles/cramp occasionally but subsides after a couple of seconds to a minute. Then at the end of February I started to see floaters one in each eye and began to have constant ice pike headaches behind my eyes to start with and then all over and eyes,temples,head with this I also had a dull ace over my forehead and weirded sensations around my head like pressure and face which I have had daily for 3 weeks until last week the burning palms and lips and the ice pike headaches have subsided. Head still feels slightly achy. At this moment in time the tingling has subsided in my right hand and foot but still occupys the left foot and a buzzing hand which comes and goes, which is noticeable now and again; Im experiencing a sore tight like neck, and what feels like my body is heavy than normal with a crawling sensation all other and aches and pains which lasts seconds to a minute; however still have complete movement. Occasionally on my index finger when pressed it hurts with a shooting shape pain which lasts for a couple of seconds and when I’m leaning on arm pins and needles occupy for a couple of seconds. Since all of this started I have been also hyper aware of feeling my pulse in my hands, neck and head. Does anyone relate to this? Can MS cause so many symptoms at once and for muti symptoms following one after another? Thank you.
Hiya - sorry to hear you’re feeling lousy & I hope you feel better soon.
I’m not diagnosed but in the system on "watchful waiting " with a neurologist. Alot of your symptoms sound familiar to me - especially the headaches & the pins & needles / shivers & quivers -as I call the skin feelings.
All I can say is I’ve realised the stress & anxiety associated with being here & in “Limboland” makes things worse. It is an emotional rollercoaster - give yourself time & headspace as required. That said, I’ve found the support on here is AMAZING & I hope you get answers & feel better soon.
Love & hugs,
C xx
