New Symptoms, wrong dx?

I had a follow up with my new Dr this week but I fogot to go to lab to get the bloodwork done up so ovbiously we couldn't talk about that.

So he asked me there were any new symptoms in the past month and yes I surprisingly seem to have a few other things happenning with me lately.
The worst was this last week but it originally started 2 weeks ago.

Symptoms are:
Pain in legs, pains move around all the time but do seem to attack the whole leg.
The pain is not long but it can a sharp, hot pain that comes on real quick then goes away. Almonst like I am getting stabbed with a hot iron.
It can be really painful at time though and I hate that!
Oh and these pains seem to be in the bone itself and somtimes does come on as a shocking sensation as well.
The leg symtpoms have been bothering my nonstop for 5 days.And they move around some much within the leg itself, and yes both legs included.

Also clothes have started to bother me, I cant stand to wear clothes unless I have to go town or something, but otherwise at home I just live in soft cotton tanktops, and soft cotton shorts.
The clothes themselves start making me feel really itchy for some reason and just plain discomfort in the sense that I hate to wear jeans (which by the I used practicly live in my jeans before this) This is really wierd too because when I need put on my jeans or pants it seems to me that I can really feel the threads or whatever it might me, and even with jogging pants, the fluffy stuff inside seems to bother me too.
They make me feel itchy, sking kinda burns and people are telling me I'm crazy for this, lol, but yes, I think I can feel all the little bumps of the fluffy stuff in the cotton joggers AND also the threads in the jeans.

So when I do wear clothes, I get the itchiness, and the burning feeling.
I really dont know why I feel this way.

And the last thing I told my Dr was that my left eye was also bothering me with stinging needle like pain in my left eye and then my face continially twitching as well.
The twitching is bad in my eyes and lips, you can actually see them doing it.
The twitchings seem to go on all day now and they only started 4 days ago.
And that alone bugs me too.

Well my dr told me that it all sounds to him like a side effect of the paroxetine I had been taking for 1 1/2 yrs.
I guess that could be true I guess I really dont know.

The only thing I know is that I have had many signs and symptoms of ms for the lst 4 yrs so maybe these new symptoms should be nothing to worry about..

Hmmmm, I really don't know. Can anyone here tell me their opinions on this?
Could it really be side effects from the paxil?

Just so you all know I have been on it one year and a half, and I never got symptoms like before, so why would I get these side effects this late?

I am a bit confused so if anyone here has experienced this or know more about it, please, please enlighten me!!

Re: New Symptoms, wrong dx?

Albertagirl, I have the clothing issues, I have not been diagnosed with MS. I have had these feelings for 5 years. Pants are a real bummer. If I wear pants that are too tight, I'm in complete misery. All I want to do is itch. Not that I'm actually itchy, it feels like little bugs crawling around under my clothing on my skin, it is really annoying. It does it to sometimes with shirts also. Recently went to a concert and wore a tight fitting shirt, I could not enjoy myself the entire time, unless I would sit there and pull my shirt away from my skin. As soon as I do that or remove my clothing it stops. I don't usually have pain though with it. I do get a burning sensation in my upper thighs on the inside sometimes. What tests have you had done? What does your doc/neuro think of this? Mine says its either coming from migraines, or anxiety because my brain MRI was normal and so was my cervical. Do you get migraines? There is a thing thats called central sensitization, its common with migraine sufferers, if you get migraines, google this term and see if it fits you. Please let me know what you think, your the only person that I have ever come across that have these sensations, and I'm scared to death, and frustrated. I hope and pray everyday that I will wake up one morning and they will be gone FOREVER!!!!! Talk soon!!!

Re: New Symptoms, wrong dx?

Hey Albertagirl, Hang in there. Leg pain is not fun and leaves me scrating my head. I am getting stabbed through both knees with a white hot poker.... it's cold though????? I can have my legs and feet piled under blankets and still have them go cold or hot.

the clothing thing.. I can't wear pants and don't laugh I shaved my legs because a breeze would hurt the exposed skin. It is getting harder to go as it gets colder just snowed last night.

You are not craxy. All the stuff you listed< I have been going through. I hope it helps to know that there are other people fighting the same battles as you. Our thoughts are with you
