Wow Sheltiemom - I think I met my match. You described me perfectly. I woke up this morning and for about an hour I thought, wow I'm cured......nope back it came little by little.......

Yes resting and excercise does help too, maybe because I am distracted, not sure.

Not too many of us non-length dependents around, I prickle from the top of my head to the tip of my toes and everywhere in between. No numbness though. Sometimes some buzzing on bottom of feet adds to the fun and lets not forget the wormey electrical crawleys....in case life gets a little boring!

Sorry to make you repeat, but I am new here.....

Is yours idiopathic?

I have had this since May '09, came on overnight........started with a few a day, next day more, etc., etc.,etc.......now around the clock every 1-2 seconds, no 2 spots at the same time.......wierd!

Any muscle twitching?
(I have quite a bit, makes me worry that it is going into my motor nerves, but no weakness.)
That is my biggest fear, don't get me wrong the sensory symptoms are awful, but motor weakness really scares me.

I'm thinking about ordering some Benfotiamine - it sounds convincing......

I was a nervous person before all this started, now I am ready to fly the coop!!!
