bamagirl Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Does anyone ever get a stinging skin sensation or tingling in their skin and scalp? It is driving me crazy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi, I don't get those symptoms, but I thought I saw a post saying that if you are on Midodrine it could cause a funny feeling. Before choosing to put me back on Florinef my Cardio said that Midodrine could cause chills/goosebumps and tingling of the skin. So, I'm not sure if you are on that particular med but those are some side effects from it, if you are indeed taking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamagirl Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 No, I am not on amy meds right now. The feelings go from feeling like a sunburn to electricity running through my veins!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wufflebear Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 When I am having lots of symptoms I get tingly lips and face and hand. ...Kind of like a twitchy feeling (but nothing twitches), kind of like electricity flowing thru??Hard to explain. But yes, I get it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calypso Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I often get a burning feeling on the outside of my skin, and I can't even touch the area when it happens. It is so odd and so painful. I have no idea scientifically what causes it, but my hunches are mild peripheral neuropathy caused by POTS, or some sort of circulation issue. I do nothing for it but wait for it to go away. It usually stays for two days.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonshine456 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I had a tingly scalp and face for months when my POTS was really bad. It wasn't until I started on mestinon that it went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dionna Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Does anyone ever get a stinging skin sensation or tingling in their skin and scalp? It is driving me crazy!!!my entire body does that but mostly my right side feeling numb and tingly. plus i do twitch all over in various small parts but it is always just for a few seconds (i.e. my arm will twitch in area about the size of a quarter then it will jump to my thigh or back or something like that).

Conny Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Now I don?t have these symptoms anymore (tingling in the skin and scalp), but had them when I took midodrine - all the time!! Even when the doses were low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
