Feels really weird

HI everyone,

I just wondered if anyone else has ever had this: Lately When I've been resting I sometimes feel as if something is crawling up my legs and arms. When I look I can't see anything. They must be invisible lol. Just wondered if it's a common problem or I'm going even more 'Crazy'. Thanks xx

Hi babebatista I have this too, when I`m sitting down at night time. I put it down to my nerve endings working overtime. :) x

I think it is quite a common Fibro thing - the invisible ants are so disconcerting ... you expect to see something there don't you?

Julie evh, that's it! Exactly. Little ants or something similar and for someone that has an extreme fear of spiders and any creepy crawlies isn't good lol. Ahhh so glad that I'm not suffering alone or needing to book my space in the loony bin :) xxxx

Morning all,I have the same feeling In just my left leg,dunno why just that one!anyway the feeling to me is like a trickle of cold water,horrible feeling,anyway when at docs I mentioned it,I had gone to see if he could put my pregabalin from 200mg twice daily up to 225mg twice daily,wish I hadn't,he reduced my pregabalin to 150mg incase it was a side effect,made me worse,6 wks on I'm still off work! He has now put it up to what I asked in the beginning! Anyway would just like to congratulate myself,it's 8.15am,washing machine on,dishwasher on,shower and hair wash done and all ready for my fibro support group meeting at pain management in hospital,god I'm good! Actualy as I write this I'm ready to go back to bed,sorry was hogging the limelight then,going back to you babebatista,yes quite common,so don't worry,just another thing to put up with! X

Hi, yes I had a similar sensation some time back and then later read something about potassium levels. May be worth looking into? Suex

ahhh thanks everyone. I had some more blood tests done at the beginning of the week because my Vitamin K is low? Don't what that is or why? Hopefully get the results back at the end of the week. Apparently I've had a problem with Vitamin K for a long time. Thanks again everyone. I love this support group xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes I certainly do have this sensation in my legs. I'm certain there's a spider or something there but, as always, nothing to be seen!!
