Ben gay feeling on skin?

hi all

I’ve been fighting an influx of nerve related symptoms with history of tms.

Anyone ever experience a menthol/Ben gay type sensation on body?

My hip suddenly hurt yesterday (after a long day of nervousness due to a training class) and now I feel like I have Ben gay on my right hip down to my knee....and now on my outer left thigh.

This is throwing me for s loop. In the last few months - cramping, pins/neeedles, tingling/pain in feet/hands, headache, anxiety, sleep disturbances.

Please respond to this new symptom. Thank you!

 

I have had painful skin on and off since May. What I mean is that my skin feels sunburned, whisker rubbed, carpet burned, stingy, punchy, almost like I have a heated seat on...

 

Sometimes skin on my hips and back is sensitive for touch, slightly hurtful. It always vanishes after s9me days, I don't pay much attention.

 

How are you feeling these days? What are you doing to get better?

 

I don’t consider this skin sensitivity to be a symptom. And I do nothing. As I said it just vanishes after some days. It’s not something that happens often, maybe twice a year. I think it is in the normal range of bodily feelings.

 

What symptoms have you overcome? How did you do it?

 

Yes. Even regular dermatologists, unschooled in TMS, almost all agree that skin issues are brought on by emotional issues.
I've had it move around on my body, where certain sections of skin burn and tingle and feel very sensitive to the touch.
All our nerve endings go to the surface of our bodies, which is our skin.
It's TMS. Keep going. It may leave that area and move to another, but it's still TMS.

Have a good Sunday, all.

 

I have the same issue. Tingly, burning feeling on my legs. I am trying to ignore it, but it is difficult. Took a walk and do not feel it at all when walking.
I am treating it as tms though not a lot written on it as,a symptom.

 

Thank you, @JanAtheCPA .

I’ve also been fighting hand tremor, muscle spasm, nerve pain, etc.

Sometimes I get these “surges” which is a cascading array of symptoms, one after another. It’s left hand tremor, racing heart, rumbling stomach, teeth tightening, etc. it can last an hour (switching back/forth between symptoms) or a few minutes.

Have you ever experienced these surges? I can feel it coming on and the anxiety from it,
Can make it that much worse.

Thank you.

I get weird "surges" sometimes too. Sometimes, they're very short and set off by a word ("stress", "emotion", "feel", that kind of thing) They're really so short that I don't even have the time to choose if I'm going to let them be or do something or panic or whatever. It's like half a shiver or something, and then someone (but who? must be me, right?) throws a lid on it and it feels incomplete, somehow. Like something wanted to come out and it was blocked, almost instantly.

And then there's what happens when I (try to) meditate. In the beginning, meditating made me calm down, plain and simple. After a couple of weeks, the tears started, again triggered by words that point to feeling and emotions. For the people who use Headspace, it's the bit where you have to feel your body in general, before you start the body scan. Tears would flow, but no sobbing, and I was still able to sit still. I was aware of the fact that this could happen and it wasn't a bad thing and I was able to just let it be. Right now, it's not tears, it's uncontrollable shaking. I just can't keep still. That used to be the easy part for me! I would sit totally still, with a million thoughts racing through my mind. I can no longer do that. I'm actually shaking in my chair and my mind is still racing, of course, and I'm crying too. For the first time in my (admittedly quite short) meditating career, I've had to end a meditation before it was finished, because I was jumping out of my skin. I hate it so much. I can't even really tell whether it's restlessness or anxiety, but it feels very physical. It starts in my stomach, my abs get all tight, something bubbles up through my body, and when it reaches my eyes, it all comes out as tears. After a while, it subsides, but I don't really feel better or calmer. Strangely, I might feel a lot better about half an hour later. Weird.

To me, it feels like my body is trying to tell me something, but part of me is resisting that.
