Hi All,
New Here. I am waiting to see a neurologist but it could take up to a year one doc told me. I am a 47 year old female. Does this sound like MS?....Started waking with morning headaches, top right side only, for 2 months, then one morning I woke up to a leg attack, burning pain in my right thigh, front and side, felt like it was on fire, every nerve lit up like a Christmas tree, only lasted 10 seconds but from that day on more symptoms immediately followed in my upper right thigh and elsewhere on my right side.

Every day, continuously off and on throughout the day, my right thigh would burn for maybe 5 seconds, then go cold for another 5 seconds, then go numb for about 5-15 minutes...up to 50 times a day. I could tell it was nerve damage. I could sense the nerves under the skin of my thigh all day long. Whenever I would touch my thigh there was a weird nerve sensation and when I would tap my thigh I could feel nerves moving about under my skin and in my lower right calf as well...

Both my feet would hurt when first getting up from sitting or resting, figured it was heel spurs, I noticed other tingling and numb spots started happening continuously off and on all day, lasting for say 5 seconds at a time...my right lower arm, wrist and 2 end fingers, entire right side of my head, right cheek and right lip and cheek pain. Stinging eyes, sensitive to light and doc says its ocular roscea. Restless leg syndrome appeared in right thigh, worse lieing down, like spiders crawling under skin. Under my right lower eyelid started twitching like crazy day in day out for a month. All symptoms gradually slowly faded away over several months. Thought I might have shingles cause one tiny round pink spot on right thigh appeared but doctor said didn't think it was a chicken pox and instead thought I had meralgia parathesica and would set me up with a neurologist to get an MRI.

Almost 5 months have past and symptoms I have now are right cheek pain, both feet hurt due to heel spurs i assume.... tingling, pressure like, numb spots popping up daily, lasting only 5 seconds, 20-50 times a day. For about a week it was a big patch on lower right calf, then that went away and then it was my right lower arm and hand, now oddly last few days one small patch on my left thigh just above kneecap. I get feeling of goose bumps on right side of head alot. I have also noticed minor various cognitive problems, short term memory, getting words mixed up, recalling words, problem solving..I do wonder if this could be MS but no family history and am I older than expected for a first attack I assume. Any comments appreciated and thanks for reading this lengthy post. cheers RileyM
