It started one day at night after showering i started feeling like there is a bugs on me(mostly legs) every few minutes but i just shrugged it off. Now it's been 3 days i constantly feel itchy (whole body buy mainly legs and arms) and when i scratch it mostly goes away, I sometimes also feel paresthesia but it goes away after a few seconds and when i'm lying down i also feel it in my lower legs but when it goes away after a while and i wake up feeling like nothing is wrong until the itching again after. My extremities feel numb sometimes as well.

I fear that some symptoms can be explained by anxiety because i've been reading up a lot on MS and neuro diseases and panicking. I will be going to a doctor next week when my insurance kicks in but i wanted to know it could be or what i could do to relieve this feeling.

    hi James. have you got any motor symptoms? weakness/twitching?

      Hello, no i haven't been vaccinated yet. H have some twitching in my lip or eye that comes and goes but since my blood pressure went up to 150/70 i attributed it to stress. I have been stressed at work could it be the reason i'm feeling these symptoms?

      Because when i have a twitch or an itch and i scratch it it goes away so is it a neurological problem?

      hi James, the numbness and itchy crawly feelings are alk sensory symptoms that could be MS but it with the amount of stress you are feeling it may be playing a part too. keep us updated once you've seen your doctor next week
