When I try to sleep, I feel tiny things crawling under my skin.?

Question

It only happens when I'm laying down, like whenever I put a blanket around me or such. What is it? It scares the c**p out of me!

Answer 1

Google "Restless Leg Syndrome" talk to your doctor about it. Thats what RLS feels like.

Answer 2

well if it only feels like some spider running across your legs, not anything bigger, its most likely the static from you interacting with the static from the blanket, nothing to worry about!

Have you looked into restless leg syndrome, it can actually affect other parts of the body too.

Answer 7

well either you have a really coarse blanket or it's actually alive. Do you have red dots or looks like bug bites on your skin after wearing the blanket? If so you probably have bed bugs in your house and if that's the case take care of it right away don't wait because the numbers of bugs will grow.  you must dispose the blanket and check other pieces of furniture because they might be infected too If you watch verminators on discovery channel you can learn more about bed bugs and how to handle them better because the show shows many cases of infestations such as this.

If it gets itchy it could very well be scabies, its a condition where mites get under your skin and the biggest symptom is the itching starts when you go to bed. Although if it goes untreated for a long time it can get itchy during the day as well. It takes about 6 weeks for the symptoms to fully show so if it doesn't go away look for spots on places such as between your fingers or around your groin or the folding area opposite your elbow.

Good news is its very easy to treat, a shower in the evenings and cover your body in a special cream that your doctor prescribe and in a couple of days it should all be gone although it may take a week or two for the spots to die down.

Scabies can be passed on very easily, even through a handshake, but you most likely get it from someone close who has been on your bed or something similar.

And a word of advice scabies is VERY contagious......

Don't do it.....
