I have snakes crawling under my skin, on my legs. I can feel them with my hand. Is this a hallucination or something else?

Comatose, this is hallucination, try to relax, and go to or call your doctor, perhaps you need a medicine increment.

Thank you. I believe now it was a hallucination. They vanished after I had been sleeping. The snakes are gone now.

The snakes are back. Maybe this is a new thing coming. I will see the psych nurse on thursday. Maybe I can tell her about it.
I’ll be fine as long as I stay clearheaded and don’t try to cut the snakes out with a knife or something. The thigh is a bad place to cut.
I’ll drug myself to sleep tonight so I sleep all night. Maybe the snakes will be gone tomorrow.

@Comatose you are okay, they are not real, just remember that and you’ll be fine.

It could be a tactile hallucination. Sometimes I feel things that aren’t right, like wind inside my body and strange things.

Hard to explain how it feels. It’s like when a baby is moving in the belly. But in the legs. Turning and twisting. I think tactile hallucination is it. I had tactiles when I became ill. Had trolls biting my legs and ghosts poking me.
I’d get to the pdoc as soon as possible. It could be Akathisia (restless legs).
It might be a tactile hallucination. Bear with it. You should know it’s not real.
Likely restless leg syndrome
