Dancing like a man on fire!

I've lost count on the many sensory disturbances I've experience in the last year and a half of being diagnosed. These include electrical currents of euphoria I feel in my legs (in the evenings), to the fittingly named MS hug around my diaphragm. But nothing compares to the burning sensation I exper...

Whenever I'm having a good day, I always wind up being so productive, and getting so much done, because I feel so good, almost "normal" again.... But then the next morning I can barely move...
