Tingling/prickly feeling on skin

Hi!

Does anybody else get tingling/prickly feeling on skin when hot or weirdly, when getting emotional? (laughing etc.) For me it happens on upper body, mainly back and arms.

Other times, I rarely get it. But I get it pretty much always when I'm exercising and just about to break a sweat or when laughing at something. Suuuper weird.

I'm wondering if these are possible MCAS symptoms, caused by the infection(s)?

Thanks!

I get internal shivers when I get worried, or excited/emotional.

I hate it.

Not quite the same as you but similar.

Yeah you nailed the emotions, excited and worried same stuff for me. Only difference is just that mine feels like needles on top of skin.

I had a whole host of skin sensations - tingling, numbness, burning, itching, feeling from time to time like someone was driving a needle deep into me, like something is crawling on me, feeling like gentle cobwebs on the skin - all migratory and all over. Those are on the list of symptoms detailed in Horowitz's MSIDS questionnaire and the LLMD I received treatment from mentioned that it was one of the most common symptoms his patients had.
It's possible it's related to heat? I felt like I suffered the most trying to get sleep and of course under bed covers there's more heat - but it's also possible that trying to sleep is when you aren't doing anything else so your brain just focuses on the skin stuff. For a couple years I couldn't wear tight clothes like leggings as the feelings would be unbearable - so maybe heat again?
