Pease let me know if this sounds like ms?
Ok 7 months ago, I got this weird feeling all throughout my body, like this electrical feeling going through my body for 6 weeks, finally did an mri which was normal, also did one of my cervial spine that showed 3 bulging disks which i was treated for, which we blamed all my symptoms on the disks, now 7 months later I have the same exact symptoms, my body is tingling all over and some parts feel like they are burning, as if i got a sun burn, no numbness just major pins and needles for 2 weeks straight, saw a neuro yesterday and he said ms only effects one side of the body, is this true? Are the feelings only on one side? Also I feel like far away things seem a bit blur to me, and my left ear keeps getting plugged, i am going for another mri on tuesday, does this sound like ms? Please help 25/f

Your symptoms are almost identical to mine. I was diagnosed having Neuritis. Basically, the brain sends the wrong messages to the nerves and it causes all kinds of weird feelings throughout the body. I saw a neurologist and he said it would only last 3 months. Back to see him 6 months later and he prescribed Carbamazepine tablets, also known as Tegratol, used to control epilepsy. I'm not epileptic, but this was the only medication offered. Several years later and I'm still taking the tablets. They really help cut down all the weird feelings like the tingling and vibrating sensations. There's a list of under-lying causes for Neuritis. Alcoholism, malnutrition and diabetes, to name a few. It was later discovered that I have diabetes, which can cause blurred vision. I still get the burning sensation, usually on part of one arm, but not as bad. I use Aloe Vera lotion to cool it down at times. Good luck for Tuesday. Will you please post and let us know how you got on?

Probably the bulged discs are causing all kinds of phantom (fake) pain.
You could benefit from a really potent multivitamin and mineral supplement with high antioxidant value. Write me if you need a product recommendation.

could be ms, or slipped disks, or even neurogic.
