I am having a hard time finding info on this. Let me begin with my symptom. I have a feeling of Iam wearing something on my
Lower legs and lower arms. I twitch and jerk randomly . The tingling all over my body at times. My left side feels more numb then the right .
Like it feels "asleep" . It doesn't feel like the rest of the tingling in my body. When I try to sleep at times. My arm
Will jerk when Iam just trying to doze of to sleep . And it wakes me up. I will get some dull pain in my lower arm and legs at times. My left foot freezes at times and my left ankle will ache or or burn. Or something it's really hard to explain.

The neurologist wrote on the paper stating he knows it is central hypersensitization. And then put where they brain is irritated. But I can't find anything on this?

I never heard of central hypersensitivity. I'm going to look it up. What you are describing sounds like neuropathy.

They said no to neuropathy . Because I have all my reflexes . But the only test I had done was nct.

Central hyper sensitization

Hi Alberta,

Here's reference to the condition your doctor had mentioned:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3268359/

I am sorry you are dealing with this.

Many people with chronic pain have central sensitization.
Also, many have central pain sensitization, along with non-centralized pain, where there is actual tissue damage, etc.

I deal with both.

I hope these articles help?

Did your doctor propose a treatment plan for you?

Does my symptoms sound like central hyper sensitization ?

All the dr did for me so far was up my Effexor to see if it works.
And they said if it does not work she will take me off and put me on lyrics or gab or something?

Hi Alberta,

The first article I had listed is more reader-friendly.
Was it helpful to you?

I cannot diagnose. Even if I could, I have no reason to differ with the M.D. whom has examined you and has taken your history, etc.

Sometimes, these things take time. It's often helpful to stick with one doctor and help the doctor to further confirm/deny the diagnosis by complying with treatment and seeing what happens. Doctors will often change treatments if needed. They will sometimes also change the diagnosis once they see other signs/symptoms develop.

My neurologists have been following me for over 20 years, watching various illnesses progress. It has taken time for these illnesses to fully show themselves to the doctors.

Do you feel the doctor has listened to you and has been thorough?
Do you feel you can contact the doctor if the current treatment plan does not work for you?
Are you okay with the current treatment plan?

Do you have more questions to ask of your doctor now?

Please continue to reach out here.
