Socks, that's my biggest problem. Especially my right foot. The socks can't be to tight or thin. They spin around my foot, literally, I don't know why. Also it feels like the sock material is caught between my toes, but to look at it, I know it's not. Weird stuff.

I'm learning to knit socks, but I dont think I'll ever be able to wear home made socks, so I'm not in a big rush to start amassing a collection of knitted socks. |

Based on your description, the cause is more likely sudden bloating (water retention), or perhaps an allergic reaction (to your laundry detergent, or whatever).
The reason I say that is because your problem seems to be intermittent (few days), long-term (8 mo), and in areas that are particularly constricted (bra, waist/thigh area). Also, although some of us would relate to having some sort of problem in this regard, the sensations you describe ("itchiness", "tingling", undefined "hurt") are not how most of us would describe our "clothing" issues. The neurological "itchiness" that one gets from MS is concentrated to one or many very small and defined spot(s), not a large area or large patch of skin. It would be like a mosquito bite itch, with nothing visible, and it is very distinct/describable. The skin "hurt" feeling is not usually concentrated to areas such as the "bra line" or "waist area" either. Additionally, MS clothing 'weirdness' generally comes accompanied by other specific 'MS-weirdness' that you don't currently have. Cherie

Don't know if this will help but I get the MS hug. The bottom of my bra seems to cut across one of the ribs that is being sqeezed. But instead of the skin feeling irritated, it is more of a pressure deep surrounding my ribs. Some times my waste band, if it is fairly high, also seems to cause the pressure to feel greater. This may not be close to what you are describing.... hope it helps. Good luck.

Dressing is a daily challenge for me. Some days I can wear jeans, others the texture drives me nuts. I cannot wear anything "fitted" as it can sometimes cause spasms.
And shoes, well thats a whole different issue. I can't wear them. I wear flip flops or slippers. I have so many pretty heeled shoes. I miss wearing my wedge sandals. I miss wearing heels. I just can't wear any shoe that encloses my whole foot. Something I truly don't understand but it happens. |

Since you don't have a dx YET, I thought you were wondering if a particular sensation that you are experiencing is most "likely" to be MS. I didn't realize it was a competition for right and wrong, and that you already had a position on that. I will continue to answer all inquiries as honestly as I can though. Cherie

This hurting feeling it's like my skin is hurting (other any on my left hip, I have burning pain and I don't like anything to touch that area). I really don't know how to describe the "hurt" feeling. One thing it seams like is on my arms it hurts for the hair on my arms to be rubbed the wrong way. That feeling is about what I mean when I say it hurts. Kind of a nerve like pain I guess.
The itching is only on my thighs with tight jeans if my thighs go numb. The bra thing it's just the back strap (which BTW when I do wear one it has to be way to loss to feel OK for a few hours), it's also the shoulders.
