Tingling explanation

I am wondering if someone can please explain to me to the best of your ability exactly what your MS tingling feels like. I am not diagnosed MS but have been referred to a neurologist and for an MRI with symptoms, the prevailing one being tingling. The tingling doesn’t hurt, but simply causes discomfort. I have had it for months, with my right thigh and scalp being the worse spots. I really have trouble describing it to my Doctor, lol. Its a cross between the worse chill I have ever felt and my skin crawling. It comes in waves and can hit as much as 3 times a minute and has been like this for months. I don’t have numbness but weakness, but no loss of feeling anywhere other than a few times that were very quick in my arm. My knees often feel like jelly though. My other symptoms are straight forward and easy to explain except the god awful tingling which is what made me see the doc in the first place. Would like to hear the tingling stories of others in hope finding a way to explain it :slight_smile:

Have you ever sat/laid on your foot/leg/arm; and had pins and needles when you get up? For me the tingling is like the weird sensation you get just before the pins and needles kicks in. A constant tingling in my left hand is what started me down the MS rabbithole.

MS Rabbit Hole is right! Have you been diagnosed?

Hi RNGD1982

Yes, I was diagnosed with progressive MS last December after 9 years of medical gas-lighting.
