Describing what it feels like

I find that I need to tell my wife and others what I am feeling when I say I have MS. I try to tell them that I feel like pins and needles on my legs and arms. I explain that it is like walking on balloons. I tell them that when I lower my chin to my chest I feel like elastic buzzing in my body. Do you have other ways of describing your MS ?

Have them look at Dr Boster on YouTube, he can probably explain how to tell your loved ones how you feel

I just today had muscle cramps in both my legs. And it hasn’t gone away yet. If it stays that way for a couple days I’m gonna assume it’s a flare. It’s like walking on ice and you don’t know if you’re going to fall and break the ice.
