Don't try to think too far ahead, that can become very overwhelming. Its mostly a night and thankfully controlled by meds.
I thought I was crazy!! These three words don't really describe "the feeling" of MS though. This complex disorder of the nervous system can cause vision problems, fatigue, muscle weakness, incontinence and often presents in the third or fourth decade of life. MS causes nerves to lose their myelin sheath, making them more vulnerable to heat and temperature changes. It was after I had defeated all of these that I caught a common cold and thats when the MS came out of remission. In one subject distension of the bladder by 25 ml. The benefits of cold water therapy are lots of. Then my body started itching at night lol, so I was insistent that we must have had bed bugs, even though our mattress was newer, noone else itched.i vacuumed the mattresses like I vacuumed my carpet lol..my family thought I was a nut lol
When I was first diagnosed with MS I had large lesions in my spinal cord. By providing your email address, you are agreeing to our privacy policy. In fact, even an increase of half of a degree is enough to make you feel unwell. Lots of pain when I walk on them. I daily experience itches deep inside my arms or legs, I sometimes wish I could pry my finger inside a muscle so that I could give it a good scratch. The theanine will offset the small amount of caffeine, but everyone reacts . Eat nutritious meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables to keep your energy levels up. It is an over the counter type thing called Anti-Itch. I'd actually rather have the twitching, than the jerking, LOL!
,Haha I feel like the line between muscle jerks and twitching is unbeleibeably narrow. !
,I often have a sunburn sensation on my cheeks and eyes. Weird and outright mean stuff happens to a person with MS.
Very painful. Your nerves, being frayed, cause your body's thermostat to misfire.
When I did remember to tell her I couldnt put the feeling into words so I would let it go. That is a great description of what I'm feeling "icy hot".
It was by far the most painful experience of my life. It twists upward so tight it curls my arch, then meanders, moving independently throughout and across the planes of my body. Frustrating! Its somewhat bothersome, mostly because its embarrassing in front of others who may view me as impatient, as not fully paying attention to a conversation, or even just fidgety.
Extra layers, such as thermal underwear and socks, can be very helpful if you tend to be cold most of the time. Hot water bottles, electric blankets and heat pads can work well but be careful if MS has changed how you feel temperature on the skin so that you don't get burnt. Is there a topical that helps?
Cortisone cream has saved my life!! I'm so glad I googled "ice cold feeling, legs, ms". I am always afraid that right now, people will think I have a runny nose! To voluntarily move my arms, flex my muscles, and clench my fist. I might have forgotten to mention, trying to scratch doesn't feel like I am even touching the itch!
