Hi Steve, I always have tingling in legs to greater or lesser degree… sometimes it creeps up to torso and arms… sometimes even in my face. When it’s bad I get the dull ache with it.

Is it sort of like a vibration? That’s what mine feels like… like an electric current running through me. It’s a nerve thingy and very MS.

Or is it more like pins and needles? Also very MS. Honestly this is no bloody fun eh?

Yes if it continues might be worth upping the Ami dose. I don’t actually find that Ami stops the tingling, but it stops the ache and makes you less aware of the tingling somehow.

As it’s keeping you awake you should definitely try upping the Ami dose after speaking to nurse.

Hope it goes away soon Steve. Not pleasant!

I have tingling hands and have done for the last. 15 years, never without it, sometimes I feel like I’m plugged into the mains. I hope yours subsides.
