I feel sensitive and tickly inside--nerves? It's quite freaky!

I don't know if this is related to fibro, my med gabapentin, just me, or if I'm getting sick...

Inside, I guess its my nerves, but they just feel a bit sensitive and tickl-y. Like a bit overstimulated or something. I feel a bit tired.

I would get something similar when I'd get the flu, which I rarely get. I dont' think I have a fever. I just feel odd and it's really freaky!
I've been sneezing more and have more headaches as well.

It's so hard to explain--I hope someone knows what I'm talking about. I wouldn't even know how to describe it to a doctor.

I feel it in my spine into my head. Sometimes other places too.
Well---I've felt something similar when I have the flu.
I"ve been on Gabap. since around Jan. and this is the first time since then.
I was bloated last night, GI didn't feel that great. Felt worse today. I dunno if that's related. I've had GI issues off/on since about Nov. Was diagnosed (sort of) shortly after--maybe Dec or Jan. The diag. has been questioned though since I do not have any pain points.
This tickly thing is driving me MAD!

We often have a lot of nerve pain with fibro...mine goes from low volume to high volume with the barometric pressure.

There are studies to see if there is a latent virus in the nerves . This theory of fibro makes sense to me.. Some fibro specialist do use anti- virals...i have not gone that root at this time..

Has anyone used anti-virals? Its kinda my understanding that if this is an issue.. It has not been yet resolved with meds..

These sensations are driven by the HPA axis - drugs can defiantly cause them but just being sensitized will do it.

What you are feeling is the core of what causes fibro - the nervous system is dominated by the sympathetic branch and fails to return to an idle

I saw my ND and she thinks it may be related to the med side effects. So she suggested I switch to the Lyrica that my doc gave me, that i've been too scared to start.

I've had this feeling before, long ago, way b4 any fibro stuff, but it was fleeting and I didnt think much of it.

And yes it is super uncomfortable. I almost think I'd rather have some pain than this crap.

Mine isn't really burning. Just kind of like a sensitive tickle. It can be anywhere. Saw my ENT and she looked in my nose and did a few other things and thinks I have an infection. So I'm on an allergy med and antibiotic.
I just have this feeling tho, that it won't help this weird feeling.

I don't know if its related to RLS. I do sometimes have that urge to move my legs b/c they feel just strange and I have to move them. But that isn't really the feeling I have now. Like I don't feel the need to move other parts of my body necessarily. I do at times b/c the feeling is so uncomfortable but I dont' think it helps anything.
I always just want to be unconscious so I don't feel this.

I always read about how researchers look at the brain and find this or this chemical. How are they finding that? Can I get that type of brain scan? Maybe neurotransmitters have something to do with this.
It's very depressing when I tell my doctors how I feel and they just cannot get it. They don't know what it is. I feel so alone and hopeless, like this will never go away. And I dont' know what to do. I'd rather have fibro pain than this.

Forgot to add--I always look at products I buy for the word 'fragrance' or 'parfum'--I always look for actual fragrances from nature.
I never use any artificial sweetener since about 2 years ago.
There is fabric softener in our wash (I can do without it but I know my dad won't do our stuff separately just for that).
I always read labels.
