Bugs Crawling On You

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had the feeling of bugs crawling on your skin ???

The past couple of weeks I keep getting a feeling like a bug crawling on me, usually on my legs and arms but sometimes on my face and head, but there isn't anything there. Frustrating.

That is Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). This link describes 8 specific symptoms of it: http://health.facty.com/conditions/restless-leg...

OMG yes!!!! It usually happens to me when I'm trying to sleep. I don't get much sleep when that happens. Sometimes I also feel like I'm getting bit by like a fire ant. It feels so much like it that I automatically look to see if there's an ant on me. I feel for you!

overactive nerves causes this. I have had this on and off. Can be frustrating as it usually comes on at night when I am in bed.
