P SUDIK Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 This is hard to explain,but it almost feels like someone or something is touching me very very lightly on my arms and legs or like a bug is on me. Could this be neuro related? Anyone else experience anything like this? Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorguest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 This is called "fleeting paresthesia". It's common and has a long list of possible causes, such as vitamin deficiencies, like B12, thyroid disease, changes in blood sugar or electrolyte levels, to name a few. I see you take Prozac, and it may be related as a side effect of this medication. Another reason may be the activation of sensations by the small sensory fibers in the skin - aka small fiber neuropathy, but this is less common. Even things like lack of sleep and too much caffeine can cause this. Ask your doctor if it persists; hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfrnklin Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I've had that many times before. Interesting tidbits Doctorquest. I have a Vit B12 def. and take monthly shots. I also have mild neuropathy related to dysautonomia like most do. Thanks for the info.Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
