Abnormal skin sensation

Hi All

I’m 71; have had PD for about 10 years; currently on C/L 25/100 faithfully every 4 hours for the past 2 years.

Two days ago in the evening I noticed slight itching on my left lower shin. Thought it was an insect bite but there is no visible lesion. It resolved but came back again last night and it really isn’t an itch ; it’s more like something very lightly touching your skin ; like a feather being drawn across my shin. Makes you want to scratch but it doesn’t relieve the irritating sensation. Wondering if this is PD or a possible side effect of the carbidopa ?

Any insight appreciated 😀!

I have the same apparently. It comes and goes. I would bet on PD as a cause.
