Burning legs and feet

Does anyone use cold compression socks or cooling blankets for burning sensations in lower limbs? Wanting to know what’s best. I know lots of people take Gabapentin but I am really struggling to get a doctors appointment and the pain is keeping me up at night!

Anyone have Ms for years without disability?

I’m 18 and my symptoms are pretty bad. I wake up multiple times a night with numb limbs and get constant facial spasms and twitches. These symptoms occur every single day non stop. I’m scared on what will happen in my future. Anyone have any stories?
