For several months I have been having random, moderate to severe pains in my hands and feet. The pains come and go, sometimes in minutes other times they last for hours. They feel like either burning in my feet, freezing hand(s) or sharp pains near the surface of the skin on fingers and toes. My back is stiff but not painful and I feel worse in the morning. It also seems that I am having troubles with slurring my speech a bit and now I think my legs are feeling weak. To make matters worse I googled my symptoms and every one of them came back as a symptom of MS. I know I should not do this but now I am over the moon with panic and I can’t think straight. Any rational reassurance would be great. I have been diagnosed with GAD and IBS for many years and I am wondering if I am just wearing out my nervous system. Please talk some sense into me!!!!!!
