    New symptom? Feel like I'm wearing a head band.

    As the title says......Lately I feel like I'm wearing a head band, especially in the ear-to-ear area across the top of my head. This is new to me. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I'm playing the, "Is this an MS thing?" game in my head right now .

    Hey Pistachio- Does this feel different than a headache or migraine? I haven;t experienced what you're describing, but I had the
    "MS hug" around my torso. It's called Dysesthesia. I used to put a heating pad on my torso to help alleviate the sensation. It went away in a short time, but it can be annoying! Hope it goes away for you soon.

    Dysesthesia, which means “abnormal sensation,” is a common sensory symptom of MS. Strange sensations include:
    • Unexplained pressure
    • Numbness
    • Tightness
    • Tingling
    • Pain
    Dysesthesia may result from damage to nerves that carry information about one’s senses to and from brain. Sensory changes are often among a person’s first symptoms of MS.

      No, it's not a headache. It's more like a tightness or heaviness. It doesn't hurt but more like it feels weird - like pressure.

        Yeah, it's probably Dysesthesia. Sorry...

            My thought is usually anything COULD be MS because our brain controls everything. But not everything IS.

            In other words, I don't know.
