runningshoe Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 HiHas anyone ever gotten a good explanation for why some of us get goosebumps? This is a recent symptom for me. It happens when I am hot or when I am standing. Dr thinks it is some kind of clue but not sure what it is telling us. I would love your imput....My meds are:80mg nadolol.1 florinef.05 vivelle patch40 elavil (for IC pain)Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloppyllama Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 HiI am not on any of the same meds as you are, adn i get goose bumps alot, mostly it will just be on one half of my body at a time. But its not when im actually cold, usually its when i touch something, but it does happen other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Burschman Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I get them easily, too. I think it's just a sign of our autonomic nervous systems being a little out of whack, since that's what causes piloerection (goosebumps -- I'm not sure I spelled that properly.)I've noticed that I even get them when I should be hot, not cold, such as when I go for a run.
