The weird feeling i have

Hi The best way to describe how MS feels in my body is......you know when you have to brake real sudden and you think "gosh that was close"! you get this strange adrenolin feeling rushing through your body and its all nervy, and faint pins and needles in feet and hands, also foot drop Lou

I believe you're having Lhermitte's sign, its a results of demylemation to the spinal nerve. If you're interested then wikipedia has a definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lhermitte%27s_sign Its not an un common symptom for people with MS, I remember when I had it prior to being diagnosed, I kind of liked the feeling, it was a nice little 'tickle' down my back for me.
