Muscle Spasm Twitches and Pinpricks Posted: 09-26-08 14:19pm
I am writing to see if anyone has had the
following ...
muscle spasms / twitches all over body,
pinpricks, crawling bugs feeling,
itchiness.
I have been to several doctors. At first
it started as a rash / spots and I was
diagnosed with scabies. Did the whole
scabies cream things twice and took
steroids. The rash / spots went away but
the itching, pin prick and crawling
feeling remains. I also get muscle spasms
now.
I have had a MRI that was normal and a
full blood work up. Was worried it may be
MS, Thyroid (which runs in my family), or
Lyme Disease...but seems all have been
ruled out. I did have the feeling that
food was getting caught in my throat for a
while too, and I had a barium swallow, but
that went away and the test came back
normal anyway.
My next step is a neurologist. I have
been under an amazing amount of stress
lately, so my thought is this is all
stress related. I've had some major
emotional traumas in the last few months
and I feel like this is the culmination of
it -- but kind of worried even stress
couldn't cause ALL of these things to be
happening???
Please let me know if anyone has had these
symptoms, especially all of them together
like me!

I am having pinprick itching feeling too Posted: 11-14-08 23:53pm
Hi, I have been having for about the past
2 weeks an itching or as you described pin
prick feelings under my skin. I do not
have any redness or rash on the skin at
all like you had at first. Mine is not
visible and scratching does not help at
all. It is intense at times and drives me
nuts.
Only thing I have found so far is Benedryl
to calm the itching feeling and sometimes
that does not work too well.
I also have had over the past 2 or 3
months at times the feeling like something
was caught in my throat. I have wondered
if the Thyroid is involved but did not see
any symptoms under Thyroid conditions that
match mine.
I just posted a question for help on this
site for it. Watch for an answer as I
hope someone has one. I hope your
symptoms improve for you.
I was told by a family member that it
could be stress induced...Not sure and if
so, what do I do then??

MS has been ruled out however you haven't
seen a neurologist yet?
Stress can cause all kinds of issues and
that may be what is happening to you or
may just be a part of it.
Please make an appt with a good
neurologist so that he / she can help you
in managing these things and hopefully it
is nothing too serious.
