Another weird symptom??
 

I think I'm going to find this hard to describe!

In my former life - that is - before 'neuropathy' and the other maladies that have beset me these past two years, when I used to get goose bumps and that funny little associated shiver thing that would ripple through the 'skin' it was always bilateral and generally related to cold. All quite normal!

However now, numerous times per day I am getting this rippling shivery feeling down my leg, usually only my left leg, sometimes the right leg but never simultaneously. It is NOT related to being cold and I often even notice it when I am toasty warm in bed but that is not the only time.

Any clues or is it just one of the many things that neuropathic conditions throw up at us?

I think its
"....just one of the many things that neuropathic conditions throw up at us..."

Megan I don't know if we are talking about the same thing and describing it differently, but I get this numbness down my leg and then suddenly a cold-like feeling runs down my leg and then it becomes not numb. But within seconds the numbness comes back again.

It is not there all the time, but noticed it is more often now. So many weird things happen and you don't know what to say to your doctor or what not to say. Don't know if these all weird symptons part of the PN or what.

But you are like me, wondering if others are having the same problems and wanting to know if these things are normal for PN or what. The thing is maybe it might be different for each person. But it just good to know if others experience the same thing.

Do you get cold even though it is hot out? I have to set the air conditioner thermostat on 76 or 77. Getting cold makes the pain worse, and it makes me feel like I'm having a chill.

No fun for my Son and Husband. All they can talk about it's so hot in here.

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem with PN.

Thanks.

Controlling temperature on many parts or the whole body,
is a continual problem for many of us.
Some like it hot, some like it cold (or cool) - but its temperature control
due to the mixed signals our nerves are sending to the brain.

Megan just wondering how you are doing? Did you find out what is causing the shivering? It is really hard to find the right words to use to describe issues with PN.

Hope you are ok.
