Members connected over the unsettling butterfly and crawling sensations that many experience in their legs, feet, stomach, and chest, describing feelings ranging from restless legs to creepy crawly spiders that worsen when tired or resting. Several members shared strategies that have helped them manage these symptoms, including gabapentin or Neurontin for nerve-related discomfort, CBD or THC tinctures to stop restless legs within minutes, and skin brushing with moisturizer to soothe dry skin that may contribute to the sensation. A recurring theme was the relief of realizing these odd feelings are related to fibromyalgia rather than something more frightening, with many members expressing gratitude for the validation and shared understanding that they are not alone in these experiences.
