Me again asking for help ...!
Have any of you experienced what I can only describe as a Mexican wave of tingling all over my body. ! Usually starts at my feet and works its way up, or can radiate from my centre.
All a bit scary. :o
Anyone experienced this please ?????
THANKYOU XX

Is it kind of itchy? Or is it an anxiety surge ………. I know when I had cold flushes on Tamoxifen they began middle of my back and worked upwards!
Also I get electric zaps which feel similar!
-
It sounds like anxiety to me.
Is there a particular situation that triggers it or is it random.

Hi Wombat I have been experiencing similar - I find that it generally happens just before a hot flush comes on. My hot flushes usually start with a kind of panic attack feeling or feeling sick followed by what you describe as a Mexican wave of tingling going through my body from the bottom working its way up and then comes the hot flush! Thankfully I am only getting 1or 2 a day now since I started HRT in January.

My hot flushes start that way and work their way up through my body. Not nice, but I don't find it scary, more of an "oh heck I'm having a flush". Usually resulting in me either finding coolest place to be or finding something to fan myself with.

Thanks, could well be anxiety, as I am pretty anxious at present....
Pretty random no set pattern. With this and burning mouth it's almost enough to turn me to chocolate.... 8) :-* :D

You don't need an excuse for chocolate, just indulge. ;)

Hi wombat ,I also get that horrid anxiety weird feeling just before I have a big flush but not on the small ones ,I really was in a panic about it which of course made it worse it wasn't till I mentioned it on here that I yet again realised I was not alone in feeling this so that helped me loads,now when I feel it starting I try to take deep breath and tell myself it just a flush and I will be okay and get my fan at the ready !.wish I could turn to chocolate but I get migraines great eh ,get horrid menopause symptoms and can't use it as an excuse to eat chocolate unlucky or what haha .Take care and enjoy your chocolate. :)

since menopause, and even on HRT, I've had all manner of mega weird tingling (etc etc)symptoms just to add to the 'joy' of it all ;)
Try to get used to them, and try to ignore them and get on with what you are doing? The more you focus on a sensation, the worse it gets I find.
