Goosebumps and tingling on legs?

[LizzyB40]

Bizarre symptom - I know - but does anyone experience a strange tingling sensation in their upper leg accompanied by 'goosebumps'? I've had this for a couple of months now, particularly on my left thigh. It starts like a tightening of the skin and a strange,shivery feeling on my skin and you can literally see and feel tiny goosebumps rising up all over one side. It goes away after a minute or so. Very odd. Been happening more and more and I wondered if it was linked to thyroid issues? I'm currently being reassessed as been told I'm over medicated with tsh of 0.01.

Thank you x

I've got this too but wasn't sure wether to put it on here as it sounds so strange, so I was really pleased to read your post. Thank you for beng so brave! We have so many strange things happen to our body with this disease.

This started about three weeks ago with me. It's a very strange tingling on my left thigh that only occurs only when I am lying on my right side in bed. It is also accompanied with a strange numbness of my left cheek, just on the cheek bone.

The thigh tingling only seems to happen at night but the face numbness is off an on day and night.

I'm on 125mcg of levo. I've got hashis and don't feel optimally medicated despite being told I'm on the right dose. I've still got lots of symptoms.

My endo is doing tests for coeliac, adrenals etc.

Did you ever find out what was going on? The left cheek numbness and leg goosebumps/strange feeling is what I’m experiencing.

Ask for your B12 levels to be tested. Odd creeping sensations on the skin, burning, tingling, can be signs of low B12. MariLiz

Hello, did you ever find out the reason for this issue? I have the exact same thing happening to me and cannot explain why. I had thyroid blood work done and it is all fine. Curious to understand what is happening.

Hi! I know this is an old post, but were you ever able to figure out what was going on? I have this same thing happening on my left thigh!! Started about a week ago.....

Yes, my doctor was baffled as well. It happened right in front of her when I was getting my annual physical. It's really strange and it only lastsa few seconds but happens alot. The doctor said she isn't concerned about it at this time. What did your doctor say? I may seek another opinion. It bothers me, I am almost 50..

I too Am concerned this has been happening to me for about 7 months or more but lately has also moved to my cheek an I find that sometimes it’s more of a pricking sensation rather than tingling. Along with other symptoms I’m suffering my current dr doesn’t take it as a serious issue although I believe something isn’t normal. I wish I could find the answers through google lol personally I believe has something to do with nerves but I don’t know what the underlying issue causing that would be you there

Hi Everyone l have been also experiencing this problem recently. I have been trying to look up for the reasons behind but l have come up with nothing. I never see a doctor regarding this. But One thing for sure this tingling sensation accompanied with sort of goosebumbs it starts on my one hand and sometimes on the leg and even both at the same time.l noted something this ONLY happens when l take cough medicine with codeine phosphate..

Did anyone find out the reason behind this tingling sensation with goosebumps? I have just started getting this in the last few weeks. I am not on any medication, the last time I had blood tests done was a year ago, all was normal then, including thyroid.

I had this and was diagnosed with pilomotor seizures. However, can also be migraine sensory symptoms.

did you ever find out the cause of this, I’m experiencing it

[LAHCR in reply to Gc39]

hi! My doc said it was a vitamin deficiency, sent me to take a multi vitamin that was heavy on B12, and within a couple weeks it cleared up, and never came back!!! Good luck!!
