4 days of doing nothing but rest have improved the jellylegs slightly, increasing the Pregabalin again and more rest will hopefully help a bit more - I now have an appt to I'm see my Dr on Monday and I'll do whatever he thinks is best

Please get help as soon as possible as others have said. My relapse sounded very similar only I was undx and sent home to rest and only after 6 weeks could I even attempt to walk a small way, it took 5 months to refer me to an ortho and 9 months to get a final MS dx. in spite of a previous probabale MS dx.
I have sustained a long term issue with my legs as they quickly became deconditioned and weak following this - steroids sounds a good way forward.
Best of luck.

I've had really itchy prickling sometimes burning skin across my left shoulder blade for about 4 years - I assumed it was sensitive skin but I've just realised the itching has stopped since I've been on the Pregabalin so now I'm wondering if it's connected

Any sort of paresthesia - burning, itching, tingling, buzzing, cold, hot, banding... they can all be MS-related.
I am also having the same problem both my feet and my legs are numb. I also have been having some bad burning in my left shoulder which is something the dr said could be related to my MS. Has anyone else heard of that.
I think a steroid drip will help you get over these symptoms faster. It's definitely worth it if you're having problems getting around.
Right after a flare last year, I had the same problem - when I stood up, I wasn't sure if my legs would hold me, as they felt so weak, numb and heavy. Very, very shaky! Sleep is the only thing that fixed it.
