I confirmed with pdoc that she thinks its tactile hallucinations.
What it is is feeling like somethings crawling under my skin and shredding my back. If u think about nails going down a chalk board feeling or mid labour painful.
Anyway is this normal or should i go to a and e because all i can do when it gets bad and cry and rock. Its making me feel suicidal too.
I feel like people are thinking im a drama queen but it really is so bad.
Anyone have similar experiences? Please help
I don’t think you are being dramatic at all, but I do think you should get some kind of medical testing done just to rule out physical causes. I am very surprised your pdoc would not recommend this.
I do experience pain from some of my tactile hallucinations but it is not incapacitating, just unpleasant.
i see these things call razor spiders, they have saw blades for bodies and razor blades for legs. when they touch me it hurts, especially when they climb up my legs feels like they are cutting into me.
It could be like muscle cramps misinterpreted as something else.
-just throwing options out there
Its not like cramps or anything like that but thanks for the suggestion. Its not all the time seems to happen in the morning and night
I have continual sexual tactile hallucinations, particularly in bed.
I often contemplate suicide. I saw someone ‘off’ himself in a TV drama and the method used was intriguing.
Best wishes,

I have a similar problem, I feel like I’m being stung by wasps, and the stings are as painful as they would be in reality. I do wonder though, if I misinterpreting nerve pain and my mind is creating a reason for it (I sometimes see and hear them as well). I do suffer from paresthesia, I have chronic back pain and I get nerve pain related to that in my back, but these wasp stings affect all parts of my body. I can’t make up my mind if there are two separate issues here - nerve pain and tactile hallucinations, or if it is all nerve pain and my mind is misinterpreting it as wasp stings.
Either way, it is a horrible feeling, to have pain like this, I get really distressed by it too. I have an appt with psych in 2 weeks and will ask about it. You are definitely not being a drama queen, I’ve felt really horrible because of this too, crying and screaming… Just because there isn’t someone there shredding your back doesn’t make the pain any less real or distressing.
Thanks guys you’ve made me feel better about things haven’t experienced it for a day so having some relief. Fingers crossed it won’t happen again.
I’m sorry you have to feel that. You are definitely not being a drama queen. Pain is pain, no matter what is causing it. I do agree you should be tested to rule out a physical cause before blaming it all on hallucinations.
