burning feet, especially at night, tingling in my scalp ! Posted: 09-14-07 10:04am


I am 32 yrs old and the mom of three small boys. About 8 years ago I had an episode of partial blindness in my right eye. It went away after a few hours. Last year when I was pregnant it happened again briefly. For a couple of years now I have had a problem with seeing flashes, especially when I move my eyes or am doing something where I'm excerting myself. About a year ago I started getting this annoying tingling sensation in my back about where my shoulder blade is. I kept asking my husband if something was there, but eventually just decided it must be a harmless annoyance. Just lately I have started having burning feet, especially at night. I also get tingling in my scalp, especially on the left side. It comes and goes, also on buttocks and upper thighs. I started wondering last week when I kept tripping when I was shopping with my kids. It was embarrasing, I must have tripped on my toes 3-4 times in row while walking around the store! I also have a problem with slurred speech. I mean to say, "dear," and it comes out like, "dug" or something else. In the past, my husband has playfully teased me about this, but now I'm wondering if it's all related. None of this has been particularly debilitating, and the scariest thing has been the vision disturbances. Should I be worried that this is MS, or am I just crazy? I don't want to go to the doctor, because I'm afraid they'll think I'm silly.

Go to a Doctor Posted: 09-14-07 12:39pm


Sorry to say it I hate them too but yes you should get it checked out. I am also 32, and 3 years ago I had blurryness in my right eye. It was MS. I'm don't know if you have MS or not but you are the right age and certainly have enough troubling signs that I would have it checked out. Doctors are no fun but the treatments they have today for MS can slow progression down so that it is not nearly as scary as it was years ago and the sooner you can determine what is wrong the sooner you can begin treatment. Even if it is not MS the sooner you get diagnosed the sooner you can start dealing with it. Let me know what the doctor says, I will be praying for you.

Ms Questions Posted: 09-14-07 16:18pm


Should a MRI be done on head and spine? If they do one on head only and it is normal could there be something on spine?

Thats a Question For a Neurologist Posted: 09-14-07 20:07pm


My first MRI was head only second was head and spine. I think that if your head is clear the spine would usualy be clear I think the spine is just to make sure how bad it is only. I could be wrong though since I'm pretty new to this myself. If your doctor says both get both if your doctor says head only then there you go. Oh and only get the spinal tap if there is no other way bad stuff happened with mine and from what I heard it's not that common but not that uncommon either.

Check It Out For Sure Posted: 09-23-07 13:33pm


I agree, you need to get that check out. Did you read the ten symptoms of MS? My feet burn and tingle all the time. Fingers tingle too and get numb. My forehead also tingles. Yes, they should do an MRi without contrast of the Lumpar spine. Some neuro's will opt to do the C and T spine also. All depends on the doc. Hope this helps, MsSky
