Current MS Symptoms

Numb Feet: In October 2011, my feet went numb. Not numb like they were asleep, but a weird hypersensitive/feels like you're walking through sand or with cushions on the bottom. It was as awesome as you can imagine. My Neuro poked me with a safety pin, & it felt dull like a finger tip. Water made them worse, I assume from the heat. As of last week, they're kinda normal. I still feel like the surface has a loss of sensation, but I don't have the sand feeling anymore. I am pretty pumped for the time being!


Vibrating:  This is sooo hard to explain. It's all the time. The only way I can describe it is part funny bone sensation, part standing on something that is vibrating, mixed with electricity. It's a lot like my neck thing which is technically called Lhermitte's Sign. The vibration is annoying, but I'll take it over most other symptoms. 


Lhermitte's Sign: I feel it when I bend my neck. It's electric, and shoots down my back, both legs, and to my feet. It's annoying and strange. The other day when it happened, it felt like my big toe was being ripped apart from the inside...I kept bending though, just because the sensation was so bizarre. This was my first symptom from last summer. It obviously wants to hang around.


Spasticity:  My back and legs are really bad since Christmas. It takes me until about noon most days to feel normal. Around Christmas the Dr. thought I pulled ligaments in my lower back, because I couldn't sit/stand without it hurting, but it wasn't a muscle. My thighs were really tight and achey, especially around my hips. He gave me muscle relaxers and nothing happened. It's obviously not a muscle. The severity is different every day, some days I'm almost normal, some days I wanna rip my legs off. Like a squeezing tight pain deep inside...I can't explain it. It just sucks and is my worst one so far. 


Muscle Spasms: 75% of any given moment something is frigging twitching. My neck, thighs, inner thighs, arms, fingers, face, feet...something. If you're around me, just ask, you can feel it and see it. It's not bothersome really...just strange, especially when it's visible. 


I officially feel like a freak typing that all out. 
I don't take medicine, besides vitamins. I don't feel like any of these symptoms are something I just can't deal with, and I feel VERY lucky to only have these symptoms. MS is a disaster and I want to go as far as I can without the disease modifying drugs. The drugs really won't make symptoms go away unless it shrinks/gets rid of current lesions so...I feel they're unnecessary.
