Welcome to NeuroTalk:

I'll defer to our MS members here about MS.

But I'd like you to think about other things that cause similar paresthesias.

1). Low B12 is notorious for this. You will need testing at the doctor's and get your results in numbers. The lab ranges in US are still outdated (for a decade now), and lower than 400pg/ml may cause significant neurological issues.
Here is a video to watch... it is sobering and long but really you should watch it:

This is my B12 information thread:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread85103.html

The methylcobalamin to treat low B12 orally is now available for about 6 cents a day (if you go to Costco for it). There is no medical treatment existing today this inexpensive and dramatically needed by about 40% of us in the US.
So don't accept "normal" from your doctor...get the results.

2) another cause of paresthesias, is very low Vit D. So when you go for that B12 test which I hope you do ASAP, get this one done as well. Do not accept the RX treatment if you are low, because it does not work. It is D2 which does not work in humans. You will need D3, at a dose of 1000IU D3 for every 10 points to raise you to the new low accepted today of 50.

Low D is also implicated in MS and some treatments for this are higher than for non-MS patients. But it is thought that D3 will help most MSers in the long run.

Low D affects calcium metabolism, and tingling or numbness in the face is one cardinal sign of this.
This is also very inexpensive to fix.

Please consider these nutrients, and see if either or both are a problem for you, before going on to the more difficult disease states. Testing at a doctors typically is done easily....but the interpretation and treatment remains far below normal standards even today. That is why I made the B12 thread years ago for our PN posters and others who come here for help.

There is a DNA test to see if you are a non-methylator (cannot convert synthetic B12 to its active Methyl form). But the methyl B12 is so inexpensive now, you really don't need that test, unless your folate is also messed up. Both are methylated and may be not working if you have the DNA polymorphism called MTHFR.

For now just get the testing. It just may save your life. (as the video explains).
