Has anybody else experienced this sensation?

For the past few days I've been getting the strangest sensation on my skin, in particular the bottom of my legs and feet.

It feels like a weird hot, tingly, burning sensation. Sometimes like an electric shock feeling. If I wipe a simple cloth over my skin it almost feels like it's burning. It's not there constantly but keeps happening every hour or so. It's very hard to explain but feels SO odd. Anybody else have this? Could it be viral? I've come down with a cold today also.

Google "Peripheral Neuropathy"

@Gingernaut yes that's exactly what it is actually! No idea what is causing it :-(

Well that's one way to panic! I have 0 other symptoms, hopefully just a vitamin deficiency.

I have it with fibro

Oh bless you @DangerousSlug that must be very difficult.

I don't feel pain at the moment. Just a very weird sensation when my skin is touched. Getting onto the doctor first thing in the morning.
