One of the rare but not unheard of symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) is pruritis (itching), which can be included in the category of sensory abnormalities known as "dysesthesias." Because this type of itching is neurologically based, it does not respond to topical treatments like those used in allergic reactions. Anti-epileptic medications (gabapentin, carbamazepine, and phenytoin) are sometimes helpful in treating this problem." this is from sharecare .

Member organizations of the MSC include Accelerated Cure Project, the Consortium of MS Center, Can Do Multiple Sclerosis, the International Organization of MS Nurses, Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and United Spinal Association.

Hi, there, and Welcome! I can't believe this got by without anybody answering. My apologies! Seizures! Wow! Scary!! They're not completely unheard of in MS, though, as we're twice as likely to get them as the general population. But that's 5-6% as compared to 3% of the general population. I snagged this from the MS Foundation site: One of the less common problems associated with MS is seizures.

Good morning. My name is Viviane, I'm a 26 years old female. I've been seriously depressed and feeling anxious for the last couple of years. All through this time I've been feeling symptoms like tension in my muscles all the time, tachycardia, short breath, among others (common for this kind of condition). Lately however I got a new one which is really puzzling me, I have a mild tingling sensation in my legs and a few times also in the upper limbs.

One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?

You would benefit from seeing a neurologist. You need a complete work-up to determine the cause of your neurological symptoms. The neurologist should do lots of blood tests to help them figure out what it is and run other tests to determine the cause of your neurological symptoms. Because you have had so many viruses, my guess is that you have an autoimmune disease.

m new to this forum and just had a couple of questions regarding possible MS diagnosis. In July of 09 I had a MRI of my brain which showed a left frontal lesion measuring 1.4 x 1.2 x 1.4 cm. I had another in August 09 which measured the lesion at 1.0 x o.6 x 1.2 cm. I also had a third one in August 09 which showed another decrease in size. (sorry don't have those results in hand). My neurologist impression is ( Solitary focus of demyelination left frontal brain unclear etiology).

The statistics for men and prostate problems ( not all cancer) increases with age. My brother in law a Doctors says a man has a 50% chance of prostate problems at age 50 years old, 75% at 75 and so on. If he is like my husband he would do anything to avoid the doctor, but it is important what ever it is to catch it sooner than later. Good luck to both of you and welcome to the forum.

Are muscle cramping and leg spasms especially in the calves a part of this. I also feel like I have the flu alot of times or that I am running a fever but don't. Like I said I have all the symptoms down to hearing loss and tinnitus. My gait and balance are horrible and I fear falling most of the time and have on several occastions. I see my family dr.

m sorry you are having new worsening problems. Have you alerted your doctor? This may be a relapse for you and a course of steroids may help. Or, was the Tysabri suggested because the doc feels you may need a switch in meds? We do have Tysabri users on our forum, and I'll find a discussion about it and post the link here. It would be great if the Tysabri would indeed help you get some strength back. Welcome to our forum, and hope you stick around.
