Goosebumps are a function of the autonomic nervous system.  So, it is due to damage or malfunction of that type of nerve.  Certainly it is a possible effect of MS.

I think there's simply something wrong with the nerves.  Some sort of misfire, methinks.

This has been brought up here a few times.  I have it happen to me as well.  All I know is that it has to do with the autonomic system.  I googled this and came up with.
heat exhaustion and dehydration.  Beyond that, I don't know:-(

I get feelings of goosebumps frequently...  This month, it's been my left forearm.  It used to be my right thigh.  It was weird, because the goosebumps would move around - I could see the bumps appearing, then disappearing.
