Odd tingling feeling over body, like when you get chill bumps but I don't get "the bumps"
Increase in severity of symptoms with heat
Swallowing problems - comes and goes
Cold hands and feet
Ears ringing - almost all the time, maybe all the time now
Vertigo
Feeling of floating when laying down
Low body temp
Feeling like I'm dreaming and just can't focus on what's going on
Facial tingling
Feel like I'm not emptying my bladder all the way sometimes
When I look up my eye lid doesn't always move up
Unable to tell hot from cold water with my feet
I get optical migraines/painless migraines


Now I know some of these might not be MS SX but I don't think these are Fibro SX.
All of the following symptoms were found in the fb tables I posted:

muscle weakness – upper extremity weakness, lower extremity weakness
slurred speech and "loss of word" – Dysarthria (imperfect articulation of speech), word finding difficulty
memory loss – Impaired memory
Jerky Eye Movements - Nystagmus (rapid eye movement)
electrical shock sensations - Burning, aching, dysesthetic electric
Odd tingling feeling over body, like when you get chill bumps but I don't get "the bumps" - Burning, aching, dysesthetic electric
Swallowing problems, comes and goes - Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
Cold hands and feet - Raynaud’s phenomenon (elevated cold sensitivity in the extremities)
Ears ringing - tinnitus
Vertigo - Vertigo (sensation of spinning)
Feeling of floating when laying down – Disorientation or Vertigo
Low body temp - Neurally mediated hypotension (low blood pressure)
Feeling like I'm dreaming and just can't focus on what's going on - Impaired concentration
Facial tingling - Paresthesiae (abnormal sensation-burning, prickling)
Feel like I'm not emptying my bladder all the way sometimes - Hesitancy
Unable to tell hot from cold water with my feet - Raynaud’s phenomenon (elevated cold sensitivity in the extremities)
I get optical migraines/painless migraines – migraine

The rest might be buried in the tables, but perhaps I just didn’t pick up on the description? Have you had the rest objectively tested; for example, did the neuro find abnormal reflexes? Are you sure the symptoms are not getting worse from increased fatigue (which seem to go part and parcel with these kind of diseases), instead of increased heat? Is the trembling due to weakness or a warning of diabetes problems? Could some of this be attributed to thyroid problems? Etc...

Abnormal reflexes
Flashing lights in eyes
When I look up my eye lid doesn't always move up
Increase in severity of symptoms with heat
shaking/tremors
