tell me about tingling...
 

Okay...lying on my recliiner, to fatigued to move. Suddenly, I get tingling from the neck down...it lasted for several minutes before dissipating.
Then, a short time later, I got tingling from the knees down. Same thing. Dissipated after a time.

How does this relate to MS? I made sure my neck wasn't askew, not pressing on any nerves...it wouldn't go away til it was ready to...

This is a completely new symptom. I'm putting it in my symptom journal, but it worries me...

Who else has experienced this, and is it from MS or something else?

Kind of sounds like L'hermittes. (neuro said it's pronounced "Lear-meets") Sometimes I'll get that, and it doesnt always take much movement of my head or neck to set it off. Sometimes I have to bend my head forward so that my chin is on my chest to set it off, but it varies.

If you've never experienced it before, it could be a new symptom. If it lasts longer than 24 hours than it probably is new.

Keep track of it in your symptom diary.

I've been having tingling since October in both of my lower legs. Just comes and goes. I've gotten use to it...no pain or anything so I don't take anything for it.

Hi Debbie,

Tingling/buzzing/vibrations are abnormal sensation. Many of us know it has sensory symptoms. The correct term is Paraesthesia.

They are perfectly normal abnormal sensations when having MS.

Yes, I have Paraesthesia ;)

I have it off and on from my waist down. I just feel like I am buzzing or vibrating all over. When I am experiencing it, I notice it more while sitting or lying down. It is a little annoying at times but not painful.

My feet have been tingly ever since my last exacerbation about a year ago. Mostly my toes. They aren't completely numb but they do tingle. Sometimes it's worse than others. But no pain. Just the sensation of numbness. It's been going on so long I hardly notice it anymore.

I get this too. Sometimes it's just the neck area and other times it'll be the neck and a toe or the neck and my hands. I just chalk it up to another MS oddity. :p

I hope you start feeling better.:hug:

Stupid MS...

I have experienced that "tuning fork" vibration before...but this huge area of tingling was new. I got some in the middle of the night as well. None today so far.
Thanks for info/sharing...

I've been calling it neuropathy for many years. It started with mild numbness in my feet.
Then this numbness got worse and hence dangerous. I fell down stairs and broke my knee because I didn't have full and quick control of one of my feet. Tingling goes with it now, but it's not there all of the time. I'm very careful on stairs. I can never let my feet use stairs automatically as I did years ago. I have to be aware of every movement and every stage of the placement of feet. i don't usually assay large stairways therefore, but I have to use them at my son's house, so I hang on with my arms to the bannister.

My knee healed well, yet the experience was not only expensive (in a facility for months)
but emotionally draining....just one more thing to make people know you are not fully there. You are a liability. That's the way my family is, anyway, although I know some of you have families who want to care.

Sheese Marial, I'm sorry. Some Fammilies are like that. I don't know if they just can't face the fear or just don't care?

I'm thankful for my Family. Their Father, My DDH, was a good example for them, I think.
