Weird sensations

Posted , 10 users are following.

Does anybody else get weird Sensations on their body? Sometimes I will feel like there's a really long hair or a strain rubbing up on my leg but nothing's there, or feel like something's crawling on me and nothing is there. Does anybody else experience this or am I completely losing my mind during this wonderful perimenopause journey? 🤪

    Sensations happen. Has to do with the body saying I want more estrogen. Actually I believe it is electrical charges from the lack of estrogen. The young lady who gives me a massage actually found a long hair on my leg. It has happened several times. It is either too much testosterone or cortisol or something. I'm postmenopausal and still up the creek without a paddle.

    I get the feeling like someone sticks a pin in me. Only happens from time to time and can be anywhere.  Odd - but nothing is odd in this whole menopause thing!

    Yes Kim, I get this too. I have often found myself rubbing or wiping my arm or leg thinking that some creature has crawled on me. It is so annoying. Yes I do believe it has to do with the decline of hormones.

    You are not losing your mind. This happens to me every now and then. Usually it's on my arm. But the other day day it happened to my foot. I was in the bathroom taking off my makeup and I jumped because I thought I felt something crawling on my foot. I looked and there was nothing. I even looked to see if there was a tiny bug scurrying away. Nope, nothing. You are not alone.

    Lol! Nope, you're not losing your mind...or maybe we both are because I get those sensations too! I laughed when I read this because I had that happen yesterday and ask the h 77ubby if he saw a long hair or cobweb on my arm. Alarming and annoying...the creepy crawlies is what I call em!

    Oh yes!! Particularly my head/hair, some days I am convinced I have nits! (I don't lol..) and for the past few days I feel like there is a long hair caught round one of my toes, but nothing there. Wierd! I also get crawly, itchy legs.
