Common Questions and Answers about Ms symptoms pain itching

Is there any way to add MS symptoms that aren't on your list? For example, one of my worst ones is itching, so I'd like to add it.
Thanks!
I do not have a dx of ms as of yet but the itching has been more than bothersome to me. My symptoms started with itching in my feet that was more irritating that the pain. I sometime am up all night. In some cases, it can last for days and there is nothing I have found to relieve it. It is mostly in my right foot, leg and hand. The itching is deep under the skin and scratching does not help. This started for me about 3 years ago. I can sympathize with you.
Based on my treatment I doubt a MS Neuro would consider just the itching a sign of a relapse. My MS Neuro didn't offer me IVSM until I had multiple symptoms (new and worsening) occurring. When I has single symptoms that worsened or were new he just felt it was progression of the MS. But then again I'm PPMS so that may make a difference.
Hi, I am undx too, but the itching is what made me start investigating MS as my possible problem, along with fatigue and spasms.
I overheard an MS sufferer speaking about their unrelenting itching. I had been dealing with this for years and could not find an explaination for it. Even cortizone cream doesn't touch it!!
I get it in my hands, legs below my knees, sometimes my arms, but mostly my feet. It is miserable and nothing helps.
Of course now I have the numbness in the foot and am wondering if I am causing the other symptoms because I am anxious about it being MS. I know that just because your MRI is clear doesn't mean it isn't MS. So now I am very worried.
Any opinions would help me. Does this sound like it could be MS or do you think maybe anxiety. Can MS come and go like my symptoms do? Does MS ever feel like you are hyper or jacked up on caffeine?
Hi, I'm new to this. I haven't been diagnosed yet, but wanted to know iif any of you have these same symptoms. I' have an apt Feb 6 with the neurologist. I've had an MRI and it showed two "enhancements"on my brain. Not exactly sure what that means. But here are my symptoms I've been having. Itching all over (especially on my feet), numbness and tingling in my hands, and sometimes in my left leg. Sweating like no other. Bone and joint pain. Fatigue.
I have had this irritating spot for about 4 yrs now. My obvious MS symptoms began about 2 yrs ago. I only just recently went hmmm... wonder if this itchy spot could have been my first clue? Who knows? It's off to the left, and my MS symptoms are predominantly left sided. It is also right at the level of my bra strap - I always thought it was irritation from my bra, but never had a rash in that spot and now because of my symptoms almost never wear a bra..I do get MS Hug at this level though.
I have MS, and Lupus. My MS has, at times, caused eye pain, due to MS related optic neuritis. I don't believe the itching is MS related, or at least, I've never had that symptom, and I've been diagnosed for decades. I was diagnosed by MRI, and spinal tap.
Just want to add that although IV steroids are often used for MS flares, that's not their only use. Since this is an MS forum of members who either have a diagnosis of MS or are in process of being evaluated for it, we really are not knowledgeable about other kinds of symptoms.
If I were you I'd take mom to an ER, where she can get, we hope, much quicker relief.
) LP-had Protein levels that were high along with other numbers that could be MS. Symptoms , tremors, SEVERE pain under my left rib cage (was told by neuro that this could be MS Hug), vision problems, pain over entire body, itching under my skin, and many more.
