Going through NHS at the minute with neurologist, but painfully slow (pun intended). Frustrating thing is I have private healthcare now through a job promotion and can't use.
I am also going through a supplement programme shortly, and will update as to how this goes. Main ones being R-ALA, omega fish oil, magnesium, acetyl l-carnitine and a host of B vitamins.
Hope all is well with everyone in the meantime.

Keep us posted! Have you had an MRI of the brain and spine yet? I think that’s the clearest indicator of Ms. I had convinced myself I had it too but I think if your symptoms are mainly just sensory it’s unlikely to be MS. Sensory symptoms accompanied with other things such as vision issues, loss of balance, etc may mean it is more likely but still a lot of neuro issues have mimicking symptoms so it’s best not to get too down.
I have my appointment follow up with the new neuro on Friday. I am interested to see if anything was found in the blood work and his thoughts on my electric tests and temperature testing which were all normal.
My symptoms are still all over the place. Transient and day to day can vary, but main things are still visible twitching/muscle contractions, prickling and sometimes also itching. Seems to be no pattern whatsoever I can pin point as to how the body will be from day to day.
