Shivers/chills and other sensations with the urge to go

Hey I'm just wondering does anybody else experience anything like this? When I have the urge to go I often get like shivers or chills. My skin feels sort of ticklish/tingly with goosebumps. It can be quite annoying sometimes. It's much less noticeable after a bowel movement when I've managed to empty out. Unfortunately though I get incomplete evacuation so rarely do I get full relief. Clothing can be uncomfortable with this problem because they brush against my skin/hair making the ticklish/tingly goosebumps feeling worse. Does anyone experience this or know what it's about? The only other thing I can think of that might be making this problem worse is that I take antidepressants but I'm not sure if that's related or not.

    Hi, I've also been experiencing this! I get the shivers/chills but I also get what I can best describe as an internal shaky feeling/vibration. If I hold my hand out it is still, yet inside I feel shaky. I had a bad anxiety at the start of the year which was when I was told I had IBS, so it's still very new to me which is why I came on here...to see what symptoms others have. Really glad I came across this as I've been questionning if this feeling is IBS related.

    Hi! I get goosebumps/chills usually right before I have an episode of diarrhea. After the attack is over, it usually subsides. My anxiety also gets worse during these attacks, so that may also contribute to it as well.
