Does this sound like MS?

I have not been formally dx with MS but have so many symptoms. The burning sensations that I am having are moving from place to place within seconds. All over. The burning may be in my eye, or face and then head, or arm or leg. My toes feel cold but are burning.

  1. Hi , so sorry to hear what you've been going through. In short, yes, MS can cause pain like that. I experience a lot of burning pain (https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/the-torture-that-is-chronic-pain/), so I understand your frustration. That said, I'm sure that other conditions can cause it as well. You should definitely see a neurologist to help you figure it out. They will likely want to run some tests, at the very least, an MRI.

    1. Thank you. I had a MRI of my brain and it was normal according to the Radiologist. I am set to have a MRI of my spine next. The way my symptoms are moving all over, I would think the MRI of the brain would have shown something. I also have been dx with RA. I’m very scared and fear the worse of course. I’m an Occupational Therapist and I don’t want to lose my job. Not even close to retirement. Any suggestions on what I should ask or have checked? Neuro can’t see me til February and I have been having symptoms since Oct.
