I've had, in relapse, periods that my whole body's been 'affected'.
Sensory for me involves burning sensations, mostly from the neck up. This includes the left side of my head/face (occasionally the right, majority of the time the left), and my mouth. These are 'consistent' symptoms that never fully leave me.
I also experience decreased smell/taste, which can change day to day, minute to minute. There's no rhyme or reason. Yesterday, I had a good 'sniffer' day (could smell well, and as a result taste well).
I do have little symptoms come and go that remind me of MS otherwise. I have a spot on my right leg that feels at times like I've dropped water on my leg, or I get a buzzing sensation on the bottom of my left foot.
During a recent stressful period at work, I could feel, from the hips up, a burning throughout my entire upper body.
In relapse, I've had many different symptoms, L'Hermittes sign and girdle-banding were the 2 that were my 'hallmark' MS symptoms. I've had all types of pins and needles, burning, humming, you name it. It's difficult to explain the types of sensations, I told my neurologist L'Hermittes was like someone was strumming a guitar string against my bare back each time I bent my head down (not to mention I felt like a wizard due to the electrical sensation going through my hands. I half expected to begin launching magic missiles).
I have the double/blurry vision (another remaining symptom). In relapse, I went through 2 periods of extreme vertigo.
There's a million different symptoms MS can cause. It's important too to remember that my symptoms could be applied to another disease or condition, as there's many mimics to MS out there.
