Neuropathy Community Group
WELCOME to the Neuropathy group... For all those who have all types of Nerve Damage and PAIN! A GREAT PAIN resource area! Over 100 photos and 25 research topics on specific pain issues.
Hi all
I posted this on Fibromyalgia Board, but thought I'd see what sort of response I get from this group also.
Yesterday I had like little electric shocks going off in my legs all day. It was a wet and windy day, but not stormy.
I've been getting little prickles in the front of my shins recently, but this was right throughout my legs. No jerking or anything.
FM members thought it may be RLS, but I don't think it was that... any other suggestions would be appreciated.

A lot of people with lyme disease get that symptom. Have you checked out their discussion board?

It's neuropathy! You should talk to your neurologist about it, see if he can test you for autonomic problems (tilt table - sweat test and others)
Make a list of ALL the things that are happening to you, even though you don't think it's relevant.
Slight breezes will give off a very annoying pain... I have the same thing and think it's from the small fiber (autonomic) neuropathy. Go check out the topic that is called "autonomic / symptoms..." and see if any of the other things sound familiar. You're not going to fall into that entire list, but you will recognize other symptoms you can check off.
Fibro, Lupus, RLS and MUCH MORE, effects your small fiber nerves and is all interrelated. The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems are compromised and damaged.
