Sometimes I have this feeling that something is crawling under my skin on my head. Same spot and don’t know what triggers it. I have stage one PBC since 2011. I am on Urso and OCaliva. My itch and fatigue are in control but Since last year I got this creepy thing. Has anyone experienced this?

I have something similar across the bottom half of my face around the jaw line it is as if the nerve endings are crawling but not like insects on the skin. I am medicated for the so called itch of PBC and I am sure the sensation that I still have would be worse on my face were it not for the cocktail of drugs.

best wishes

Hi Mg40,

I also have that creepy crawly feeling on my head. It comes and goes. Was especially bad when my children were in elementary school with all the lice outbreaks LOL! At the time, I thought it was my imagination, now it seems be just how things are. Sorry I don't have any solutions.

My creepy feelings were also strong when my daughter was in elementary LOL. Now it’s once in a while but at the same spot.

I just remembered that the area I get the sensations on my head is on the gall bladder meridian. I haven't been doing acupuncture as much as I used to? But when I did, it would help.

Hi I am experiencing the same thing. A "phantom" crawling feeling started about a week ago on my left back upper thigh. I was diagnosed a year and a half ago and am taking 4 Urso a day. Still very tired and terribly itchy.
