    I have several different nerve sensations and I have felt all of them on my genitals, anus, buttock and back of thighs.

    - tingling: very light ticklish sensation that can make you want to scratch.

    - crawly sensation: this is EXACTLY what it feels like, to have a small bug crawling on you, but under the skin. This is a ticklish/itchy sensation that makes you itch.. At least for me and it stops when I itch it.

    - pins and needles: this usually has been reserved at the bottom of my tailbone, right in the top of your bum crack.

    - burning: feels like a hot spot. Skin feels sensitive, others describe it as a numbing sensation, if your arm were to fall asleep for example. I think it is more of a burning sensation w a prickling like pattern.

    - shooting pain: this has only happened during and after my first ob. It felt like electrical shocks inside my rectum, vagina, to my feet, buttock, location of sores

    All sensations last no longer than a few seconds at a time, other than when I have the pins/needles/burning sensation at the base of my tailbone. If I wake up and feel my skin burning at the top of my crack, I know the virus has awoken.

      Thank you fornyour description. I am sorry you are dealing with this. I feel something like a cold sensation on my left testicle. You say the sensations last just a few seconds and then go away? Do any of these sensations feel good at all?

      Also, when you get sores, can you please describe how they occur? Do they blister and ooze or do they just ulcer from the beginning.

      Also and sorry for the many questions... Do you ever feel any nerve sensation in just, let's say, a 1 inch area or are they typically generalized?

      - tingling/crawly: random places on buttock and back of thighs. Localized to anus and upper inside labia, where I last had a bump on them both. These sensations occur most where I have obs.

      - outside of my primary ob, I only get an ulcer at the bottom V opening my vagina, looked like a tear a couple days after infection. Because I am female and have more mucosal skin, I am more apt to ulcerate and heal w no scab vs a male. I have had a couple red bumps on my inner labia over the course of being infected at least once or twice a month, until recently. I'm almost at two months no external sores on my genitals, but I had a period last month where I broke out in a couple red itchy bumps on buttock. They went away in a couple days. However, I've had anal fissures for like a month now, but they don't cause me pain. I noticed since those popped up, I will have dull aching in my buttbones.. Like deep.. Sometimes it intensifies and other times I don't feel it. During my cycle I get an internal sore and although this was my first cycle this month w no external sore too during my cycle, I became very fatigue after walking all day, felt heavy in my pelvic region, had pain in my lower back and hips, more tenderness on tailbone and aching. That was my first cycle not being on daily meds.

      - nothing has oozed on me like I read on others. I may have had some slight discharge come off my sores on my primary, but not like the stuff I've heard on here.

      - I think I may have explained in another post to you, that there is no predicting how herpes is going to play out w you, I have learned. Your immune system is as unique as your thumbprint and that results in how your body handles it. Life style factors play a role as well. I'm a bad example to go off of. I probably have one of the more severe reactions to herpes due to some autoimmune disorders I have. So don't worry yourself.

      Why don't you first tell me what you're concerned w or want to know what is normal?

      Yes.. They last just a few seconds... feel good to me isn't just related in a physical sensation, but what is behind it. So obviously tickling isn't a bad sensation, but because I know these sensations shouldn't be occurring and are do to a virus, it therefore equates to a bad feeling. It makes me feel diseased at times and reminds me that this virus continues having a f'ing party in my sensory neurons, like it's 1989! Lol... So no... That's an interesting question. What made you ask that?
