Weird Symptoms

I have been experiencing this weird sensation of my upper arms feeling like sweat is running down them and there isn’t. Then I received an MS newsletter bringing up this very symptom. Made me feel like I’m not going crazy.

  1. Hi the feeling of spiders crawling or water trickling is a multiple sclerosis symptom called paresthesia. You are definitely not alone in this. I am attaching this article with further information: https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/spider-feeling. I hope this is helpful. Jill (Team Member)

    1. thank you so much for this article and for bringing my sanity back lol! It is so much more than vindication. I feel the understanding and support. We all need it. I am very grateful to every one of you who has shared personal experiences with this group. The impact is priceless. God Bless you all. “ We’ve got this”
      Sincerely,

  2. I haven’t had the spider sensation, but like learning that some of the other things/sensations can be a symptom of MS.

    1. It’s always interesting (and a little reassuring) to learn that some of these odd sensations are actually part of it! This thread has definitely been eye opening. -Latoya (Team Member)

  3. I have often felt like water is dripping from my legs and my back. It really feels wet! But it is just another weird MS symptom.
