Have you ever experienced what you thought was a "weird" symptom and wondered if others with MS have experienced it too?

Share your "weird" symptom here and see if others have.

  1. Inner ear pain

    1. Glad to hear that you're doing pretty good, Marcia. Have you found anything that seems to help with that stiffness and soreness in your hips and legs? 🧡 Kayleigh, MultipleSclerosis.net team

    2. try lemon ginger tea with a little turmeric. they are all anti-inflammatory and i find it helps with the stiffness and soreness.

  2. So many twitches! Mostly when I'm resting, especially in the morning when I first wake up. I lie in bed feeling random twitches/jerks in my arms, shoulders, hands, legs, feet.. I never know where will twitch next...sometimes one or more per minute.

    1. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain. It's incredibly frustrating and disruptive to day to day life. I don't know if you've seen this article yet, but I figure that I would pass it along in hopes that it might offer some helpful information. As always, take what resonates and leave what doesn't. https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/physical-activity-leg-pain-relief

    2. I was suffering from the "twitching and spazzing" frequently, Magnesium alone did nothing, but I started taking vitamin D-3, and in the month that I've been taking it, mine have virtually disappeared!

  3. My recent one has me wondering is this the MS or anxiety. Occasionally I get a feeling like something is crawling on me. It's just in one spot or another, moves all over the body, but there is nothing there. It's quickly there and then gone. Sometimes it'll be once, other times it'll be once here, then in a few seconds again somewhere else.

    1. I get the same feeling I worked at an elementary school and went to the school nurse thinking I had gotten head lice. No signs of it and a couple days later I went to my family physician. She said it was a nerve thing and subscribed meds that didn’t help. 🤬

    2. yes I get it mostly when im trying to go to sleep and it drives me nuts and angers me cuz I know now that it's the MS but still I gotta get up and make sure and there's never anything on me or there!

    1. I used to get electrical shocks when I touched metal shelves.
