I keep getting chill bumps and it hurts when I get them. I'm not running a fever, I'm not cold, I'm not sitting in a draft. Ouch!

I'm getting them about 5-10 times a minute! Ouch! I'm getting them from my scalp to my ankles, OK there not really on my scalp but I "feel" them pain wise there and on my face. Ouch!

Maybe this is just waves of pain and I'm getting the chill bumps because.... because I don't know way. Ouch!

It really comes in waves from my scalp and than rolls down my whole body. Ouch!

Somebody make it stop. Ouch!
I feel like I'm going crasy. Ouch!

Oh lord PLEASE don't tell my neuro I said that, he already thinks it's just anxiety causing all my SX. Ouch!

Well it slowed down (2-5 a minute) and sometimes I feel the pain roll down me and don't get the chill bumps.

chill bumps? or are these muscle spasm? i get the spasm a lot and muscle twitching where u can actually see the muscle moving under your skin, love showing those to deb freaks her out

No it's not muscle spasms, you know when you get chilled and the "goose bumps or chill bumps" pop up all over you? It's that but painful and it rolls down my body. It's like every little bump is a needle pocking me.

OK, that's it I must be crazy.

Gee Julie, if its not one thing, its another!! Poor you!! Have you started a sx diary? Hope it passes soon!

It sounds almost like an allergic reaction to something. Have you eaten anything new? Are you wearing something new? Using a different detergent or fabric softener? Taking a new medication (OTC or script)? Got a new pet?

Hope you're feeling better by now......

SX diary, what SX diary, oh wait I remember, I forgot, or I didn't have time, or the kids keep me busy, no really I must have forgotten.

No, bad girl I haven't even started a SX diary.

Please mommy don't make me, I don't wanna.

Ouch!

OK, I'll get right on than, no really I will, soon.

I've never heard of this description of pain, so i googled "chill bumps pain" and found a posting by someone saying something similar. Coincidentally, it's written by a "julie" too, several years ago, and the answer was that is it is likely a symptom of some kind of "peripheral nerve disease".

OMG, My last name starts with an F also, freaky!

OK, now I really want to cry. I have a spot that I get recurring shingles and the pain I get with it is the same kind of pain I have now.

Thank you for the link, I'm going to Google and see what else I can find.
I know I don't have diabetes tho, I have had hypoglycemic from childhood and 3 years ago were IR after being DX with PCOS so I have a meter and check my self andy time I feel I need to.


I don't want to jump to any conclusions but this would explain a lot of my pain and a few odd things. I didn't see numbness listed tho or con fog/memory loss, LOL.


Oh wait, my neuro did that EMG test on me because my last Dr. said neuropathy pain (that's way I was on the Lyrica) and after the test my neuro said I did NOT have neuropathy.

Although I've never heard it described exactly as you have, there's lots out there on similar symptoms with Fb, i.e. some of the most common symptoms with Fb include: tingling, numbness, skin sensitivities, etc:

"Sensations of numbness, tingling, burning, or a crawling sensation are often described in association with Fibromyalgia. Thus, it is difficult to seperate if the symptoms are coming from fibromyalgia or peripheral neuropathy"

Funny, I thought of this thread when I was watching a creepy program last night. I am currently numb in various parts of my body, and when I got totally spooked by something on the show, my goose bumps jumped to attention. I felt them in a different way then usual in my numb areas . . . so maybe it is a combination of neuropathy with anxiety/fear that is making this so difficult for you right now . . .?
