You know that feeling....

...you get just before you get goose bumps? A feeling that kind of spreads over your skin before the shivers hit?? Does anyone ever experience that when they are warm?

Had a wierd few days. Started out with sky high BP...got that under control. Then the twitches and muscle spasms and cramps began. That is still going on a little bit...all over. And now this skin thing is going on...like something spreading across my skin...not painful, just really bizarre feeling.

Any ideas??? Part of the FMS??? Part of the BP???

Thanks for any suggestions your might have! Gentle hugs...

I thought i was the only one!!
Yes, it feels like things crawling under your skin! Almost like goosebumps, but without the bumps!!
Creeping across skin feeling, and at times, the skin will feel very sensitive to touch.

I have no idea, but with what's happened to you lately, I'd be sure my electrolytes are ok--bananas, OJ, strawberries, Calcium, mg.

Thank goodness....I thought I was the only freak of the week with this sensation!!!

I went into the ER several times with it. I don't have HBP. but in it's extreme, it felt like someone poured a cold bucket of water over me. No shivers...just that creepy sensation.

So, what is it called? What's actually happening?

Anyone?

Okay, this posting just made me so happy! I know I'm a dork and all, but I just called my husband to share this with him.

He's a doll for trying to figure out all of this along with me, but I just don't think he "gets it" all the time.

Thank you so much for bringing this to the discussion! Really....Thank you!

I know I always feel like something is crawling on me and now with the nice weather coming I will have to actually check!! I also get the sensation from time to time like I have blood dripping down my arm and that I always have to check. I hate it.

It feels like a build up of tension, almost like the skin or the layers underneath are tightning up and yup I get it too!

    Good Monday! There, I said it, now shall it be!Depressing realization: I halved my one pain med, and it made no difference. *sigh* OK, well, at least I know. Or,  if it makes a difference, not enough to count on that 1-10 scale of pain. i'm still hovering around the usual daily 6-7 if I dare do things like, y'know, clean and stuff.***Ever wonder about things?Here is what I wonder:1. Why the UK...
