Chills/Prickles??

[Nerve_Wrecked]

Ok, so this is probably a strange question.

Over the last few weeks I have noticed that I tend to get "chills" on the left side of my upper torso, and my upper arm, to the elbow. They are short lived, but happen frequently. It's that prickling/cold sensation JUST prior to getting actual goosebumps. Does that make sense?

I am not cold when they happen, it's just a random thing, and I'm womdering if anyone else has this, or if it's something I need to put in my symptom journal, or if it's just one of those weird things that's not worth it.

I'd love to see what others have to say.
Thanks

I recently been having that particular symptom.  It started about 8 days ago when I went through 3 days of pain and paresthesia on my left leg.  I noticed I got a "chill" feeling on only the anterior aspect of my left thigh. I could see the goosebumps raised, but I wasn't cold.  It lasted for hours.  Now it happens everyday, sometimes its relatively long and sometimes its relatively short.  I thought to myself, what else can a body do that's weird?  It doesn't hurt obviously, but it is an annoyance.  It's happening right now as I type this LOL.

Glad to see I'm not alone.

WHEW, ok I am SO glad I am not insane!  It's such a strange sensation, I honestly thought everyone was going to be like "ummm, no, I have no clue what you're talking about" lol.

cjacks, that's exactly it, it's like there's a cool breeze on your skin, causing a chill. It's craaaaaaaaazy!

I'm so glad I haven't completely lost my mind..now, do I tell my neuro (whenever I see her), or will she think I've lost my mind? LOL

It doesnt last long ..  Some times I'll get it on my left thigh in the shower..  now that's weird.    Then there's the feeling of a cold breeze on my skin but there really isn't one

I have that same feeling, mine usually starts at the base of my neck and goes down.  I can't explain it right though. Mine usually lasts several hours.  Now that I think about it, that was one of my earliest complaints and was told it was Raynaud's. I was told to always stay warm and that seemed to make the symptoms worse. I hate the pricking sensation.  Keep me posted.

it is hard to say if it is just a weird thing or not as I am also in limbo like you. But i have this symptom often and mainly in my back, what triggers it is sudden changes in temperature like going from very cold to warm or vice versa. I am extremely heat sensitive. I have it when I have been out int the snow and cold and come in and take my coat off.

Hi,

Well, I get that too. Particularly on my right side.  (I must be your twin! Hahaha).

I am also not diagnosed.  I am not seeing any doctor for now, though will be getting another MRI probably some time next month... c/- my endo who is 'officially' monitoring a pituitary microadenoma....

I'm just putting it down as "something wierd that just happens" & haven't mentioned it to anyone.
