Hello All,I have twitching with a host of sensory symptoms. I have been following the McComb's Plan for 3 weeks now trying to get my symptoms under control, and part of this plan calls for sweating 6x per week in a sauna or hot tub. I have found that after 20 minutes in the sauna or hot tub, my sensory symptoms seem to be much worse. Both of my heels fall asleep and become numb and the electrical pulsing feeling I sometimes experience in my hands becomes aggravated. However, my twitching is not aggravated.I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar? I noticed that many of you experienced some relief in the heat, so I wonder if sensory symptoms respond differently than muscle twitching. Like my last post, I would like to be reassured that my symptoms are not related to MS, which does become aggravated by heat (my MRIs and spinal tap did not find any evidence of MS, but my neuro says that tests cannot absolutely rule something out.)-Joe

Hi, I'm not sure if what I had or still have on some level relates to what you are talking about, but in my earlier days with my BFS, taking warm or hot showers really ramped up my sensory symptoms, the tingling would be so bad, the water hitting my skin felt like I was being stuck with needles all over, but mostly worse in my legs. This is no longer an issue when I take showers, but one of my chief complaints with my BFS has been stiffness or tightness in my calve muscles and my stiff knees. This very much still gets worse when I take showers, I dont even try to do a regular bath, I'm afraid it would be even worse on my symptoms. Take CareRobynn
