Hi..I've had a stinging sensation mainly on legs and arms for nearly 3 mths now and it's gettting me so low and anxious. i can alao get it on my tongue, lips, mouth, face and back like I'm sitting on cactus spines which feels sore and hot. I've tried antohistamines, had bloodwork etc but nothing showing really apart from raised IgE and its still bad . It does ease off sometimes but returns a few days later. I'm due to see a neurologist soon but in the meantime wondered if anyone else has this?

I am a chronically anxious person but there doesn't seem a pattern to this stinging and anxiety although it can make it worse.

I do get mottled skin when it starts, pinkish network looking skin. Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks

    hi there - Does it feel like a little bit like a sunburn on your legs? If so, i have been battling that for a year & 1/2 - i also get it on my chest, back & forearms - Dont waste your money, havent been to any dr who could tell me what it was & i have spent thousands - the only thing i keep coming back to is this forum where woman have had similar experiences - i sincerely wish it would stop like all my other symptoms - i hope you get answers -

      Hi Deborah..yes it does! but I also get prickling/Stinging on legs,arms and face. Do you get any rashes? I seem to get pink mottled skin. It truly is interfering with my life and making me so anxious as it's very uncomfortable.
