Painful 'tingling muscles on waking
Posted , 7 users are following.
Does anyone else wake to a very strange electrical like tingling feeling in their muscles? It's as I wake, muscles in my legs particularly, go through an almost painful few minutes of this strange feeling.

The first time I really remember noticing it was when I was having a severe episode of atrial fibrillation - a drug reaction while I was in hospital a few years ago. They were trying to get a cannula into my arm and each time they tried it was like electric shocks down both arms and legs. Bizarre!
However - it is a less severe version of the same pain I get before a wave of warmth washes over me, like someone kicks me in the solar plexus and then it spreads all over. Bit like a "hot flush" I suppose but always preceded by this solar plexus "ping". And the ones first thing in the morning like you describe are the strongest. Duvet is chucked off for 3 or 4 minutes - and then I'm cold again! No idea what time it happens, I'd think maybe 6.30, judging by the light coming through the roller blinds? I do wonder if it is the body releasing cortisol - earlier, at a higher dose, it would have been happening earlier, maybe sometime after 4am which would have been when the pred was at its highest level in the blood (I'm on Lodotra, you take it at 10pm, releases at about 2am and peaks about 4pm).
