Neuropathic itch is trying to end me

Neuropathic itch can absolutely get in the bin. My numb hand/arm flare has come back worse the last couple of days and the itching is INSANE. Not normal itch. Not “oh I’ll just scratch it”. More like my nervous system is malfunctioning and trying to make me peel my own skin off for sport. It’s all ...

One more question… How do you handle the moments when you start crying for no reason at all. It’s embarrassing, and I try to hide it by taking deep breaths.

Hey everyone. I am new here. I was just diagnosed with MS after they found three lesions in my MRIs—one in my brain stem last April and two more on my brain about two months ago. Following a lumbar puncture two weeks ago, my neurologist confirmed the diagnosis.I have my first appointment with a neuroimmunologist MS specialist this coming Friday. I’m trying to put together a list of questions, but honestly, I’m an emotional mess and feeling very overwhelmed. I have a small list started, but I would love some suggestions on what I should prioritize asking as I start this journey. Please and thank you!😊

I struggle trusting doctors and all my friends have backed away. I feel like if I try and talk about what I'm feeling or why I can't go somewhere.

Does anyone else experience pain and throbbing in legs at night? It's only at night when I'm lying down and/ or ready for bed. It's different from my aches and pains and stiffness during the day. Was diagnosed in mid November so I'm still trying to navigate my way through all this nonsense 🙃😉🧠🫘( I call my lesions brain beans 🤷‍♀️😂)
