Weird MS Symptoms

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. Random feeling of cold or hot spots like drops of water like when it just starts to rain or a little splash of water from a hot tap, also similarly a small sharp pain almost like a bug bite but there's nothing there when I check and no itch like you'd have with a bite

    2. , those random sensations can be quite bothersome! I hope you don't deal with them too often. And thank you for adding your "weird MS symptom" to the list!

      Best, Erin, Team Member.

  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. my voice has changed and I will be speaking and then have like a word come out as a slur (my voice slurs). And also a change in the pitch.

    2. I get twitches too, sometimes I when I'm falling asleep I'll have a massive twitch and wake up fully but it's mostly random

  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. my finger nails are very thin and weak too. They tear so easily that they are continuously sore and unsightly. I too have found that using nail gel makes them stronger but I worry about the possible damage to my nail bed with long term use.

    2. I had that problem, so I started eating pork hocks once a month. My nails grow equally the same and more often thickening my nails.

    1. Yes I try not to startle but the noise is overwhelming.

    2. Me too. It's very startling. Try my best to manage the reaction
