Crawling skin sensation and irrational fear... Anxiety? Or am I a walking bug-nest?

I think you should check out Morgellons disease.

I feel the exact same thing it keeps me up most of the night it is now 3am and i still cant sleep cuz of it and i have a two year old tk wake up to in the morning u have no clue what it is!

What was your final diagnosis?

I have had the same problem on and off, but I've only noticed that this itchy, crawly feeling happens when I'm under a lot of stress. I'm pretty certain my issue is in the nerves. The only thing I've found to relieve it is xanax. I'm going back to a new doctor today to see what she suggests. 

yes must admit i think its probably stress too but in saying that i find it happening even when im not stressed but it is a possiblity it is caused by stress to a certain extent my doctor says ive got scirosis of the skin ( sorry dont know how to spell it) but flaking skin which normally occurs on arms and legs but i got it on my head i know you can get things any time just seems strange how all of a sudden i got it or it started drives me mad also im embarrassed by it too

if you feel something is crawling under the hair and scalp, it is most likely demodex mites. these bugs live on human skin. the crawling and itching usually get worse at night. you need special shampoo to kill the bugs, regular shampoo won't help. get anti demodex shampoo made by ovante. he makes natural products for human demodex, ovante suggests to use the shampoo with medicated hair conditioner. i hope this help

ty i will try that shampoo i will try anythin g to stop it also hopefully stop strands hair falling out probably my continuous combing to stop itching
or with me scratching me hea dthanks again xx

I've had a certain experience relating the crawling 'static' skin that I can't explain but I think that I may know what and where to find them. Try using really hot water and rub the area. It should die down to a spot, then try to rub it real hard until it stops. Worked for me but mine is a crazy situation. Mine gets more intense, hangs in the testicle area. just a suggestion. Any microbiologists in this blog?

If it is anxiety, try increasing the amount of lettuce you are eating daily. I suffer from anxiety, too. But, lettuce works better than any anxiety drug for me. I eat at least two big salads every day. There isn't a lot of evidence out there about lettuce and the effects it has on anxiety, but there is some. Try eating some more salads, if this is caused by anxiety.

Tried to get anti senses but can't get it in England but did buy t/gel therapeutic shampoo by nitrogen works a treat Not had much or any of the symptoms since it is about six -7pounds but u only need very tiny bit and lasts long time please try it see what u think

I fear that i have the same as everyone else here , i have the same crawling/biting sensations all over my body .At the moment i am taking polaramine (antihistamine tablets ) to allow me to sleep at night though its 12.52 am now and again i cannot get a good nights sleep .If it is diet or stress related as some people say it is than this could well be my answer as my diet has been consistently on the downward slope with a high intake of sugar and carbohydrates , i am also going through a very stressful period in my life so these two important factors could be a role in this . I have done the usual by cleaning out my room sheets , taking the scabies medicinal lather etc ... with no improvement ...

I think we have Morgellons :(

As crazy as it sounds, I think you are all dealing with microscopic 'bugs' particles. I think they are always there except that our minds usually filter them out and/or we just don't pay any attention to every little sensation on our bodies, such as itches, ticklings, etc, etc. Just for the hell of it, try using something with alcohol in it, such as alcohol based hand sanitizer, rubbed on your body where ever/all over. It worked for me. Also HOT baths/showers and maybe incense smoke/etc should have a positive effect. Don't ask me how I know but please take me seriously.

Okay im back again @ 12.44 am , for some reason i find this period of the night to be the most difficult , do any of yo struggle more at certain times at night like me ? Thankfully I have some purell antibacterial hand sanitizer right next to me and i have put most of it over my body which has provided me with some temporary relief , but i will have to see how the night goes as i dont think i will be getting back to sleep any time soon .To top it all of i also have a nail fungus growing on some of my nails to which im treating with daktarin tincture , i just feel like a walking bio hazard at the moment :(

Hi, I also have been experiencing crawling feeling, but only on my neck above shoulder blade mostly left side. This happens mostly after I eat. I also feel it in my scalp. The derm prescribed cordran to apply to scalp, when i stop the sensations come back to scalp. I also am experiencing hair shedding. I am going to see a naturopathic doctor
