Hi everyone. I have had odd symptoms for several years and feel,like they are increasing. Over course of last three years I have experienced things like weird tingling shooting pains in head or arm,numb toe , right fourth seems permanently numb on one side, recurring numb fingers or hand, and over last few weeks a feeling like I am being bitten by bugs or tiny little pinches or zap type feeling, almost like a quick minute bite then itches but when I check nothing is there, it's driving me crazy.
A year ago I got bad rib pain, hard to move, and strong clenching feeling. It lasted weeks, I finally saw ortho who thought maybe was costochridritis . I then read that tight feel could be ms, as well as all the numb feelings I keep getting. My rib issue went away. I have also had brain fog and tiredness for years now but kept attributing it to fact I have three kids.
Same with the numbness or muscle pains. I run, and exercise, and kind of blew off aches and pains as just work out related, in regard to why I never asked a doc why is my toe numb. With head at one pint I hit it Ina cabinet so when shooting pains were going in a month after I figured maybe was related to hit.. But the hit was now a few years ago.
I have had many months where I feel ok as well...but Over last week I feel my symptoms increasing regarding numb fingers on and off, and the bug feeling as well as a feeling I can on,y describe as chills but I am not cold, in parts of body for a few seconds. When I put symptoms online MS came up. Does this sound possible, did anyone else experience similar for many years. I am 45. Thanks .
