*scream* - millions of invisible bugs!
 

AAARGH, there are millions of imaginary microscopic vicious little bugs creeping all over me and biting/stinging me. I've been scratching myself silly. If they were real, I could at least KILL 'EM!!

All this bedbug talk is effecting me. I don't have them, but swear something is crawling on me during nap-time before I'm asleep.

Invisible bugs and imaginary wet spots/trickles were among my first symptoms. I thought I was going crazy. I frequently feel things that aren't really there, but it isn't usually this bad.

It might be the change in weather. I always get strange sx when the weather (temp) changes.

Oh yes, the case of the invisable tiny brown recluses and electric zaps all over.:eek: I get that...try Caladryl Clear or benedrill lotions. It helps some.:rolleyes:

I'm with Kicky though, ever since the bedbug talk, it's been worse....EEK..:D

B2U have you tried any medication for those sensory feelings? I had those and TG they went away. I would slap my leg or arm and think a bug bit me and nothing was there.

Somehow the brain interprets some feeling like clothes touching you as a shock or itch, it gets mixed up with it' s signals to and from the brain. Try to change the feeling.

Try menthol power or menthol rub. Maybe vibration with those little handle vibrators to change the sensation your brain is getting. It stinks to get those. I get only an occasional shock on my body at least once or twice a day. The wet pant leg feeling has stopped.

Sometimes some symptoms can burn out and go away. I hope you find something to help you. :hug:

Well, phooey, Blessings. That sounds just awful!

Want to borrow my imaginary anteater? :winky:

LOL!! Your imaginary friend is an Ardvark??:D

Tiny Buggles...
 

Oh me and my tiny buggles... I have this problem all too often, it feels like I have invisible flees. And to make matters worse, we brought home bed bugs a year ago from charity work an I was really getting bitten! So now I am so paranoid. Sometimes I also get a sensation of itchy fat..it is like underneath my skin on my thighs usually starts to ich and it is so bad i bruise my skin scratching. Taking an antihistamine helps when this happens.

Also, using pure coconut oil as moisturizer stops the tiny buggles for me most of the time, but not on my head.

So you are not alone, and it is a nerve thing not real bugs (usually).
I hope this helps.

Try Benadryl? 25mg every night? My skin became alive when I had morphine type drugs post surgery. Benadryl shot in my i.v. stopped it in minutes.

I've not tried medication for two reasons: I tend to have some unconventional reactions to meds, and it doesn't happen very often Well, often enough! Maybe I'll ask my doc about benadryl, or try one of the others suggested.

Sometimes I scratch myself until I bleed. I need to wear mittens or something. :rolleyes:

Benadryl is over the counter. 25mg. Makes you sleepy so take it at night and you'll sleep. It's the ingredient in p.m. versions of Advil ect.

Somewhat glad I'm not alone on the invisible bugs phenomenon. First noticed it when Spring hit and I could wear shorts. I put long pants on and it's not an issue. :confused:
At any rate; I hope you all find quick remedies to it.

guess no one is taking lightly the saying, nighty nite dont let the bedbugs bite lol!

Yeah, bed bugs aren't as funny as they were back in the day, huh?
