I have developed a warm, tingling sensation in my lower back and buttock. It could be just be a pinched nerve thing, however I did have a sensory relapse in this area a few years ago.
It feels really good, ahhhh. Like someone's lightly massaging me.
I'm not ticklish anymore either, which is great.
I used to have diminished reflexes in my feet and pedicures were such a breeze.
Back in 2000, just after diagnosis, I developed a pleasant feeling, like warm water trickling down my back.
It stayed curiously pleasant for about 4 weeks and then all of a sudden became trigeminal neuralgia, at about 9/10 on the red-hot painometer.
I had to take Tegretol for a few weeks, reduced the dose as I really didn't like the drug and thank goodness, it was a relapse symptom and had gone.
I had a really interesting tremor in 2005. That passed off as well. It got annoying after 'Cool - look at this!' stage and I found that I couldn't hold anything without a massive shake.
It wasn't a pleasant symptom as such, just interesting.
