Ticklish Sensation In Forearm

[TatsuDragon15]

Hi again... I notice now that when I glide my finger across the outside of my forearm(the side that is aligned with the thumb), it will feel tender/sensitive/ and sometimes shock sensation and then it causes some pins and needles to my fingers... and I realize this is wherethe ticklish sensation is coming from(like when your hands about to fall asleep/ no oxygen sensation). This is also causing the twitching in my fingers so I'm curious as to how this is all related to bfs? It's on both sides of my forearm but more prominent on left.

Well, if BFS is overactive nerves than it would make sense that stimulating nerves that are connected would cause a tingling sensation somewhere along the line. I know that when I rub my shin, my toes tingle. Did they do that before BFS? Possibly, but I never would have noticed. BFS makes us so hyper-aware of our bodies, and not in a good way. Whatever causes that sensation, I do not think it is anything sinister. It is either a part of this very strange syndrome or something that even "normal" people experience without even realizing it. I will admit that the tingly thing with my toes used to make me very nervous. It's been going on so long now without any weakness that I am no longer concerned. If you are not experiencing weakness in your hand, tingling is nothing to worry about.

Yeah what's amazing to me (and what really clued me in to the fact that I have hyperexcited nerves) was the fact that every time I watch an emotional or exciting movie on TV, my skin gets all tingly. You know how certain movies can give you goosebumps or make you feel exhilarated? Well during my peak BFS twitching, I couldn't sit through a movie without getting that goose-bumpy feeling x 100. It was so strong in my skin that it was almost painful. Once you notice that type of feeling is happening to you all the time (due to emotions, stress, happiness, physical contact, etc), it's a pretty good sign that you have nerve hyperexcitability. But yeah, movies were always the big test for me. If I could get through an emotional movie (like Titanic, etc) without getting all goose-bumpy and tingly, I knew I was recovering.
