Cognition problem? & weird sensation

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is ms related or something else. I have this weird sensation on the top of my head. It feels like there's something crawling through my hair, in just one section of my hair, but there's absolutely nothing there. It's been there for days now and my husband has looked all through my hair and there's no lice or anything else. Has anyone else experienced this? Also I don't know if this is classed as a cognition problem but the last couple of days at work when I've been checking client details eg date of birth, a few times the client has said I've read their information incorrectly. Eg I ask if their date of birth is 7/6/78 and they say "no it's 7/6/78" and I say "that's what I said" and then they say "no you said 7/4/78" just odd things like that. Maybe I could say the wrong thing without realising once or twice but a few times in s couple of days? What really made me stop and think about it was the confused look the client gave me when I told them that's what I said (when obviously it wasn't ). Anyway I don't know if this is ms related or me just going a bit nutty. Thanks for any advice.

@aussiekylie , the sensation on your scalp sounds very much like MS. I refer to these sensory symptoms as "the itch you can't scratch" and "the burning which hasn't been burnt". And, with this potential cognition problem as well, I'd mention it to your medical team. You haven't been over-doing it, have you? This might be your body's way of asking you to slow down a bit......

Thank you @stumbler. I don't think I'm overdoing it but I know my last MRI in July showed the edge of one of my brain lesions was active. I have another MRI and see neuro in January so maybe I should see my regular GP in the meantime to rule anything else out but I'm kind of convinced it is ms related as I'm also getting random pins & needles at times. When you say "take it easy" should I avoid exercise such as walking my dogs and just stay resting at home or do you mean not overworking & stressing? I'm off work the next couple of days which is good. Thank you so much for replying to my post so quickly.
