Pins and needles, headaches and numbness are symptoms of both a stroke and ms. I am 21 and have just been diagnosed as having ms. However, when I saw the specialist he was worried that I was having a stroke. If by the "itching" you refer to an twitch in your eye, this is also a symptom of both, but bear in mind that this will occur in one eye, and on one side of the face only.
