Symptoms upon wake-up


[In...]

Recommended Posts

When I wake up, I sometimes do not have any neurological symptoms such as electricity in body or spine.

 

 

Its not really till I have been up and start moving around and then this akathisia comes on. Seems 10 min after I start moving around things start to really flare.

 

Anyone heard of this? Its like me moving is activating the CNS?

I notice that when I wake up my skin doesn’t have a rash. It’s much less inflamed. But after being up and around for 5-10 min it’s inflamed and irritated instantly. Very weird.

Penny, that's what I was wondering.

 

Sometimes I wake up and its mild. As soon as I get up and start walking around the "akathisia" as I call it OR these strange nerve sensations start moving around and up and down my back and tongue. Seems to really flare as soon as I move and walk around.

Yes it’s definitely weird. I thought it was just a histamine issue but I’m not sure that makes sense considering it would be reacting in my sleep still...  I don’t know anymore. Very frustrating.

Stress rashes are a real thing, and yes, I'd suspect it's your CNS 'waking up' and having an extensive stress response.

But is then CNS not active when I’m asleep?

I'm no neurologist Penny, far from it. 

 

But our CNS is always active, whether asleep or awake.

 

When we are asleep everything is resting.  When awake our CNS has to deal with all of the stressors that waking life delivers, and why we feel might feel angst, freaked out, etc  We are conscious of the world around us. 

 

That's how I understand it.  But I've never read a single word on the topic.  Intuitive only.

So, stressors on the CNS can be as simple as dealing with light in the room from opening your eyes to tasks such as taking a shower?

 

A very bad symptom of mine is lower spine "energy" as I call it. It is a akathisia feeling or RLS that attacks me on and off most of the day. The worst of it is in the AM when I first start becoming active. I can lay in bed not moving and look at my facebook and I am ok. However, as soon as I become active that when most of the electric sensory issues start glowing like a lightbulb.

Yep this happened to me a lot, wake up sort of ok then once I got moving the horrible nerve stuff would kick in. It's all starting to ease and fade now.
