I have been on abx for almost 1 1/2 years. i still have so many symptoms and one of the most anoying aside from all of the pain and neuro stuff is creepy crawlies on my legs. I feel like there is always something crawling on my legs, I look down and there is nothing there! Strange symptom or common??

I had that feeling all day yesterday! It was absolutely driving me nuts! I was convinced there were microscopic insects crawling all over me. Gross. I couldn't stop scratching but then of course when i did scratch I'd break out in hives. It finally just went away, or I forgot about it long enough. Today is definitely a better day though!

I get this when I herx, its like there are crawling bugs inside my legs and crawling under my skin all over my thighs. The twitching muscles usually accompany this. I take IM Magnesium sulfate for it, which des help, but the crawlies come and go when they feel like it.
yep, got it here!

Hi Nimbo yup--Here in TX we call them Lil Critters-- I see you are from Lyme CT.
What is the lyme story there? Do doctors know how to treat it or is it like the rest of the country where most the docs dont have a clue--Jay-

I had that ever time I would sweat all over my whole body like there was stuff crawling under and on my skin I hated it.

Yes, I am from East Lyme, CT. No, they don't really believe in chronic LD here either. Can you believe it? I go to a specialist at Boston University who is a LLMD. Nice guy, not sure he is helping me yet. I have been seeing him for a year. He has told me I may have to do the whole IV thing agin in the Fall. I di it last Spring. Apparently it has been in my body since I was about 13. Then was infected again 3 years ago.
