Fuzzy feet

My teenage daughter complains of her foot having a fuzzy feeling 24/7 for a few months now. Is there anything you recommend to help alleviate the "fuzzy" sensations? She says it's not painful but rather annoying. Any advice I appreciated. Thank you.

I was diagnosed 16 years ago, I was running a business, in partnership with my husband, everything we had was in this business, and we had 2 children at school. Don't worry about what type of MS it seems all the same to me, just some are more aggressive. But there are things you can do in my exper...

Anyone experience this?

2 nights ago I was sitting and watching something on my phone when all of the sudden my vision went crazy. It was like I was looking through a prism but still couldn't make out what I was seeing. I immediately closed my eyes not because it hurt but it was like my eyes were being forced shut. I freak...

Genetics

Do you think we can pass on this disease to our children? I’m so worried for my only child 😞 I don’t want her to have this awful disease.
