strange symptom, wondering if anyone else has it?

Hello!

For the past year, every so often, lately more often, I get this feeling like bugs are crawling on my skin or in my hair or I will develop and itch, go to scratch it and it is an unsatisfying scratch, like the itch disapeared! My doctor said it was my nerves firing off all over my body producing the itch creepy crawling sensation. Has anyone with Fibro every experienced this--I'm just wondering how to "classify" this symptom..lol. Thanks everyone! Blink

When I'm flaring bad, I get a creepy feeling in my finger and toes, almost like a buzzing. Then it turns into a stingy/burny/electrical feeling and creeps into my hands and feet, the up my arms and legs. It feels like fire ants are under my skin. Fortunately, gabapentin brought it to an almost immediate halt and a couple of days later it was gone.

But I've had the invisible hair problem too...I'll think I've got a rogue hair on my cheek and as hard as I try I can't get rid of it. But since Morti came to live with me 9 times out of 10, the hair is real Smile

Take excellent care of you all.

Thank God someone else is having these symptoms. I thought I was loosing my mind. I just asked my sista who also has lupus the very same question. Is it really the fibro running its course or is it a lupus thing. I am going to tell my team of dr.s that i am not the only one experiencing these crazy feelings.

Anyone here get silver circles/halos in their vision? they just appear out of no where, sometimes they come with a slight discomfort in my eyes. Use to be in right eye only now its in both. Bright and shiny like aluminum foil..Anybody with eye problems please send to me so i can compare..Thanks so much..Hang in there guys. God is going to Bless us with strength to get through all of this drama..Love to you all..

Hi Kreeves,

Yup... totally a fibro thing. I take Gabapentin and it really helps with that symptom. I always know if I've gone pass the time for my next dose because I get the "buggy" feeling. Swear it's little spiders or bugs. I also get the body parts falling asleep and just waking up feeling and I get little "shocks" but again all these symptoms stay under control when I take my meds at the same time every day.

Brightest Blessings,

Tabi
