Sometimes I experience a "prickling" sensation in the back of my neck. Sometimes it feels like it's on the surface and other times, like it's deeper. It feels a lot like if you were to wear a shirt with jagged tags in the back and they were scraping against the back of your neck but when I feel back there, the tags are far below where the prickling sensation is occurring so I know it's not the tags. I also get a creepy/crawling sensation back there once in awhile. Anyone else get this?. My mind is going crazy with all kinds of fatal diseases so please help this hypochondriac understand his symptoms if you can.

I have a loss of fluid in two cervical vertabrae plus compression and nerve impingement, etc. At least that's what my C-Spine showed. I also suffer from anxiety, hypochondria, OCD and panic attacks. I am 43 years old and take Lorazepam and Atarax.

Thank's a a bunch!! - GreyGoose

Thanks Ozzie

This morning I woke up with puffy eyes, the "prickles" and mild right-side head pain/pressure. I too have pain (but no prickles) in my left shoulder blade and in that whole area. Sometimes I don't know wether to blame it on allergies, anxiety or some "hidden" disease lurking beneath the surface. Like everyone else here and abroad, I have a lot of issues that cause me a lot of greif. I had a rough childhood but at least I was YOUNG and HEALTHY. Maybe I should go out and buy some diapers and a bottle and crawl back into that old role. Perhaps this would help me feel "young" again...lol.

Wow, can I ever relate to that!. I was diagnosed with Chronic Sinusitis ("Hay Fever"), Allergic Rhinitis and a I have a deviated septum. My whole family (including myself) suffers from dizziness, morning vertigo (ie; the "spins") and a range of other symptoms including itchy/water eyes, stuffyness, post-nasal drip, etc. In fact, I created a 12 question "quiz" for my mom the other day and discovered our symptoms (frequency, duration, intensity, duration, triggers, etc) were EXACTLY the same. I've begun taking Singulair for the past 3 days and it does help some but there's always some "residual" allergy symptoms that never seem to go away.
