Do you experience multiple shivers that feel like tics with MS?

You're not alone in experiencing unusual sensations like this. While shivers or tic-like movements aren't commonly discussed, many people with MS experience similar symptoms that might feel this way.

MS can cause tremors and muscle spasms that may present as:
- Internal tremors or vibrating sensations throughout the body
- Random muscle spasms and twitches
- Involuntary shaking that comes and goes
- Sensations that feel like electrical buzzing or jittery movements

A MyMSTeam member described feeling "like my whole body is jittery --- like a small electrical flow." Others report spasms in various body parts or tremors that worsen as the day progresses.

These symptoms happen because MS damages the protective coating around nerve fibers in your brain and spinal cord. When this damage affects areas controlling movement, it can lead to tremors, spasms, and unusual sensations.

If you're experiencing new or worsening symptoms like this, it's worth discussing with your neurologist. They can help determine what's causing these sensations and work with you to find ways to manage them.
