I thought I heard n passing that feeling a cobweb sensation on face can be experienced by Ppl with MS.


Last year a bunch of times (maybe ten? On and off for a few months) in felt like I had a hair/ cobweb on my face. It was from my eye to my cheek. It would last a few hours or an day.

Can MS symptoms last such a short amount if time? Just a few hours to a day?


I wonder if just a pinched nerve. The tip of my tongue will go. IBM if I throw my head back fast. Hmmm

Yes, MS symptoms can last only a short time. I get the cobwebby thing frequently, lasting anywhere from few minutes to days (off and on).

That was my first symptom of MS. It is a neurological mixed signals sx.

Did it last just a couple of hours like that? Or did it last for days?

Can something be an MS symptom and not last for days?

It lasted for a couple of weeks, I think.
MS sx can last awhile or they can subside in a short time.

I've had that feeling but it will come and go within the same day, for a very short time.

I have lots of MS symptoms that only last for short periods, like hours. They change with the temp and with what I'm doing. I might have a really hard time getting into somewhere but when I leave, can walk pretty well. My DH comments on this often. MS is NOT PREDICTABLE, that's for sure.

I get the spider web feeling up and down my arms all the time! So frustrating.

As far as the symptom duration goes, the majority of my symptoms last only for minutes to hours, rather than days as it does in normal MS presentation. One of the reason why my neuro initially didn't think I had MS actually, but boy did he change his tune after he saw my MRI haha!

Yes, I have had that. Mine is brief but intense, so if I brush off the "spider" it goes away.
Often I have thought it was a real spider present, but it was not.

I may have what you guys are talking about, but have never been diagnosed with anything specific.

I feel like numbness on my face below my eyes and around my cheeks. It feels tingly and numb or droopy.

It will only last a few seconds or minutes. It seems to come and go with posture and movements.

I also have chronic myofascial pain syndrome in the neck, upper back, right hip / lower back. Jaw muscle pain, temple muscle pain, tinnitus, vision shakes all around when reading / panning on things close up.

Also sometimes I get wet water sensations all over my body. A lot in the feet. I can also get burning or stinging sensations all over my body which seems to happen sometimes after an upper respiratory infection. I also had partial numbness and burning in my feet, but that went away. I just get a water sensation in my feet now when my foot rubs against the shoe.

Most of the neurological sensations like the water and burning started after I tried treatment for Borrelia and Bartonella infection from a not proven test, treatment or doctor.

That is when the neuropathy stuff started bad with the burning and cold water sensations. However, years before that I did have a cold water running down the legs sensation that would happen a lot that lasted a year.

I've had brain MRI's and they said it isn't MS or anything they could detect. Skin biopsy was negative. All blood tests negative.

Yes, sometimes my symptoms are fleeting. They start abruptly and quickly end abruptly like a light switch, often have sensations of spiders crawling on me. Always check though! Once I was driving and got the sensation on the back of my neck. I brushed it away and it was a giant Florida cockroach! Ew!
