bugs crawling under the skin

Hi I have peripheral neuropathy and I have pain in my feet, pins and needles and numbness. My hands too. I have digestive isuues that I am not sure if they are related, muscle spasms in my ribs. and my calves. Trouble walking at times. bone pain and muscle pain. That I didnt know could be related until today. But a new symptom has cropped up in my right foot. I feel like bugs are crawling all over a certain part of the bottom of my foot. It feels so creepy, is there any thing I can do about it? I take gabapentin for it. I used to take Lyrica but it stopped working and they were unwilling to up the dose.

Re: bugs crawling under the skin

I have very similar symptoms and take Gabapentin w a low dose of Effexor. At night I will take Advil PM to sleep through the night.

Take care,

James

hi snapdragon928
i know that feeling, one thing i use that you can get over the counter is aspercreme with lidocaine. it seem to stop that crawling feeling which is the nerves flairing up. one other thing sart off with just a little to see how it reacts. its not a cure but it heps
