A poking-like sensation on various parts of my body

wow, was looking online to find someone with a similair issue and this fits what I have been going through for the last two weeks.  I would like to talk with you about this. I dont know who to turn to.

hi this has also been happening to me.  for two weeks now.  it started at night, keeping me awake all night.  and now has been all through the day.

Hello I have poking sensation as well. For me it occurs in my left arm as a nerve twitching. It keeps me up at night and distracts me as I try to think, read or watch tv. It is doing it now as I'm typing and its debilitating. If you or someone know's what this is and how to fix it please say so. I haven't found anybody else with this problem and for the most part I live in silence with it. I don't know how to talk to my doctor about it. Thank you.

Same thing happens to me. sometimes its not even a poking sensation i can feel it on my forehead and the feeling stays there. the sleep disorder i suffered with was sleep paralysis. aside from that, just let it happen, the poking sensation is not painful to me and even though i feel it everyday there are more times i don't. it is strange to me because i feel very sensitive. i thought it could have been because i was working out lifting weights but most of the time i feel this on my forehead and feet. sometimes i feel it poking my knee, and my back been feeling it a lot recently but it definitely stops on its own.

I also would like to say its puzzling to me too. I don't know what started it and i don't even remember when. But it could be useful, like let it be a reminder to you for something.

Often i don't keep my body active and thats not good for my health. if i go walk or stay in shape thats good even if i still feel any kind of poking sensation that would not be the thing thats ruining my health. 

Hey I'm experiencing the same thing I'm 14 years old I've been to doctors and they cant seem to figure out what wrong and when I try to describe the sensations they would just look at me like I'm crazy but this started when I was like12 but I didn't think much of it I actually I thought it was normal anyways I I also get it every it doesn't hurt it's just very distracting and when I get them I seem to put my hand over it till it stops cause it's noticeable and I'm just wondering if there is anything that I can do to help cause I've ran out of ideas😭

Thank god im not the only one feeling this! Im 12 and im wondering why I feel poking or twitching. It doesn't hurt but it really bothers me. It pokes me in my stomach, eye most of my body parts! Its distracting! 

I don’t have any experience with the poking but I do have experience with the doctor’s looking at me like I’m crazy when I describe things to them. I noticed nobody said anything about testing, trying a drug or medical procedure for the poking problem. Years back after extensive testing a neurologist said I should either take topiramate or maybe see a psychologist for an unusual problem (and I assume this may be a neurological problem). I tried the topiramate and it worked for the problem (also took out my RLS). It appears to be a kind of catch all drug used by neurologists when they really don’t know what else to do. I don’t believe anybody quite understands how it works, but it works for the oddest things. And of course, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

Caveats: If you consider using the drug read the side effects. Best way to overcome side effects I found is to titrate very slowly, take it as slow as you are comfortable with. Also, if it works one time and you stop it may not work the same way the second time.

I’m sure this is only one of many possibilities. There are doctors out there that won’t look at you like you’re crazy, they can sometimes be hard to find, as they are usually the ones booked up months in advance.

Same thing happens to me ! I hv been suffering this from last 6 months !! Not all the time I feel this uncomfortable thing ! In sunny day when I step out side from the house I feel this hardly. When I'm in any embarrassing moment I feel the same thing ! I don't know how to overcome this.. I met with a doctor two weeks ago ! He suggested me to have some vitamin pills. I had all.. but still I'm not comfortable with this disease (I don't know whether it is a disease or something) I really want to overcome with it ! What should I do !???

If someone knows about it

OMG this started about 3 months ago, I will be laying in bed or just sitting at my desk and bam! something randomly pokes me in random places.  I can sometimes try to ignore it and most of the time I cannot do anything until I physically scratch it to go away, just for it to pop back in another place minutes later.  I hate this and I feel like it makes me look stupid when I suddenly jump, or I am trying to sleep and can't cuz I keep scratching and turning over.  Please help if anyone knows how to make it go away....I am 45 and tired, I work graveyard 13 hour shifts and really need my sleep!
