1st happy 4th of july to all! :)
just one more thing I wanted to ask all
that are on this site! Some of the
classical ms symptoms are tingeling or
'pins and needles feeling' in the toes,
fingers,arms ex.
When you get this feeling of pins and
needles, my question is how long does it
last? Meaning does it last minutes hours,
days?
2nd question can you shake it off meaning
rub or shake out the feeling or does it
just stay?
I have had episodes where I will get up to
walk and I can feel this odd pin and
needle feeling in either or foot or toes
at anytime, hopwever it will go away after
a minute or so! Usually it is when I am
sitting down for a while or even a short
time or when I have been riding in cars
and then I get it out.Its the strangest
feeling!
Please give me some examples or 'true' ms
patients have you experienced this?
Thank you all for reading this and (if you
take the time to respond :)

Are you having an exacerbation? I had a
relapse a few years ago which involved the
symptoms you're referring to--"pins and
needles" in my feet and hands. I was
usually able to lessen the sensation by
shaking or rubbing my hands or feet.
After a few weeks, the majority of the
sensation disappeared. I do still have a
slight tingling along the outside of both
my hands--but it doesn't affect my motor
skills in any way. The only think about
it is when my neurologist asks me if I
still have the tingling.
I hope this helped a little. Hang in
there. Hopefully it won't last long.
