Hi everyone
I was just wondering if anyone else has this crazy feeling
of something crawling under your skin? I sometimes get
the sensation of ant 🐜 crawling under my breast. Very weird! The doctor says if formacation whatever that means. I've had MRI sonogram and diagnostic mammogram! All negative.
Maureen,
This sensation is very common with menopause. There is a specific name for it. Sorry I can't remember the name right now, but it begins with for______tion.
Many women have this crawling sensation. I have no idea if this one doctor is right, or if this is just his simple explanation, but what I heard is that it is estrogen leaving the receptors.
Sorry, as I know this can be very uncomfortable. Isn't menopause just wonderful???
Hi gailannie
Thank you so much for your response. The dr. called
it formacation. I think that's correct. It really is very
nerve racking. I which it would just go away. I'm 49 and I just went my first whole month without a period. It seems to be getting better not itching as much as before but still very bothersome.😔
Yes, but I get mine in the legs and sometimes stomach! Feels like one of those creepy horro movies! I have taken my shirt or pants off thinking I actually had a bug crawling on me. I hate it when that happens!
Hi Maureen, yes it is Formication, as your doctor suggested. When I had it I took claritin the antihistamine seemed to work on me at least
I have lots of allergies so it was my drug of choice which tremendously helped.
Omg yes I've that too! But for some reason I had a missing period for 3 months and it seemed like it has practically gone away!!! I didn't go to my Dr. I was afraid I was gonna be diagnosed crazy😢😢 it damn near ran me crazy! Good luck to you hunny! Did the dr recommend anything for yours ?
Hi Goddess1
Thank you so much for your reply! You know it's funny. The crawling started and now I just missed
my first period as well! So I hopping to be like you
maybe a few more missed periods and it will just disappear! Oh dear god I hope it goes away! 😩
Hi Sochima822
Thank you so much I'm going to try the Claritin! It seems to be getting better but not gone.
