I often get the 'impending sense of doom' feeling and it used to be a common occurrence in the morning if I had to work that afternoon. If it was really bad, I took it as a sign that the shift would be one from hell and would sometimes cancell it on that basis.
Nowadays, I'm not working much and fussily selecting shifts so I tend not to get it.

One thing that has come to my attention through my Kinesiology/therapy thing is my main concern about my MS, which is the Fear of the Unknown. With most diseases, I can describe a pretty accurate path of progression or treatment. But with MS, all that goes out the window. As I approach my one year marker, it is this niggling stress of what will become of me that I find is my most pressing (but hidden up until now) anxiety.

Until I can shrug off the Fear, my mind can't rest. This was giving me what I called 'emotional fatigue' rather than physical.

I'm working on reducing this anxiety in my life, or at least acknowledging it and trying to see beyond it.

Dej, it sounds like anxiety to me but all the same, being on edge has its purpose and maybe your body is telling you to be on the watch. Alternatively, you say it was a precursor to a past attack- this may be putting you on high alert subconsciously.
Either way, I reckon a rest and a change would be good.

Dejibo, I get like that - Irritable, angry, sensitive, unable to relax and can't sit still. It's amazing how much energy I have at these times.

Unfortunately for me, it's stress, anxiety, being anxious to the extreme. This means I am no longer in control and if I don't find a way to stop what is happening I will become irrational in my thoughts and actions. However, I have PTSD and once I get triggered things can get bad.

Many times anxiety does not have a cause but can just be there without a reason. Sometimes life can get overwhelmong and we can feel out of control.

This may not be the case for you, maybe what you are dealing with is your MS showing it's self in it's own way for you...I don't know. Maybe you need to dicuss this with your doctor.

Whatever is going on for you I hope you feel better soon

Thanks all.

I know the winter time up here is starting to make me batty. From Oct to April we dont see the sun, the ground, or go out much. I know I am suffering from stress overload with this past Christmas. I was feeling under appreciated. I am also feeling the isolation of moving so far away from friends, family and civilization. There is nothing out here! cows, birds, horses, and widlife are wonderful, but I think I am also lonely. Isnt that strange? I am surrounded by good people, with kind hearts, and lovely intentions. i dunno. I think getting out of here for a few weeks will do me good.

thanks for all the public and private hugs.

I get that feeling too, like somthing is in the air and I don't know what it is. It's like my body is too tired and my brain is too wired. Sometmes it's a med thing, where something has drained my potassium levels and some supplements or Gatorade gets me back on an even keel.
