Stabbing,irritating/itchy pain under skin and anybody ever go abroad for quicker diagnosis/support ?

Drumpot

I am not sure if this is a neurological condition but my most recent severe symptoms are Sharp stabbing or scratching pain all over body:

- When doing excercise

- After a certain time walking

- When I get any sort of emotional sensation, happy, sad, fright, stress, bang etc

- Sometimes it just comes on , perhaps with some anxious or sub conscious thought, not always clear

There are a couple of things I have been thinking, either injury from a sport, followed by further injury from osteopath (as the symptoms got worse shortly after seeing osteopath). And/or Covid/Pneumonia related nerve triggers that have somehow damaged my nerves over the years and either the cold weather has triggered it and/or some trauma to make it worse (my layman guesses). Or my migraine symptoms are not migraine symptoms, they are more neuropathic issues undiagnosed. Or its an extreme form of GAD which would be surprising as I have had that all my life and can only remember once or twice experiencing the under the skin pain of recent times.

I can rule out any liver issues, i believe that can cause skin issues like these but was able to get a quick appointment with a liver specialist.

Basically anytime i start to sweat during exercise i get this horrible stabbing/scratching wave sensations in many parts of my body. Feels like its the areas where my body is about to sweat and it can last for maybe 5 minutes, but if I push through it actually subsides and I can exercise (as if when my body temp has caught up its not so bad).

Lower grade sensations come across as really irritating itching (not the nice scratch, more itching out of irritation). Sometimes random but usually heat, movement or emotional responses related (cant even cheer on my own team when they score a goal).

This has been getting progressively worse over the last 10 weeks. I originally thought it might of been a kneck injury from Ju Jitsu (that I only tried once) and then perhaps seeing an Ostepath to fix a few weeks later it but they deny this (hard to know if its relevant) that they could of caused some sort of pinched nerve or something. It originally only really happened when I did excercise but it its progressing more regularly.

Also, had pretty bad, what I presume is reynauds this year. Feet and hands are freezing alot, hard to warm up even when I am in the house!. I sort of had this in past but again, nowhere near to this degree.

That said, I have had many of these sensations before on much , much , much lower levels and extremely rare occasions (prob count on one hand in my lifetime). It is like something has trigged it to make it chronic and worse.The two things I have been diagnosed as having for decades are migraines, ADHD and General anxiety disorder which is how these have been treated to date. I know migraines can cause a lot of these issues (even stroke symptoms I have had in the past), but the most recent skin/nerve issue is becoming a real big problem, I have never had it this severe.

I also get pins and needles regularly in my hands/arms (wouldnt be surprised if that was Carpel Tunnell) and have had regular odd sensations in my head (electric, numb etc), have a constant bruising pain in right side of head thats not actually that sore, but sensitive when i touch my hair. I notice I am being clumsy a bit more then usual and it can be difficult to swallow sometimes which usually brings the question of MS into the equation but my doctor doesnt feel thats probable.

Constant sinus issues, bladder issues and multiple other things that can flare up at different times. Can be a bit clumsy, sleeping issues since i was a teen (that I originally put down to mental health stuff). But all these have been put down to migraines so far.

Sometimes there is no obvious triggers, weather, stress, sleep, too much coffee (can help or hinder) are obvious ones, but sometimes its not so clear, running to the bathroom for 5 times in an hour for no obvious reason is one thing, but I have a list of over 30 things that just seem to come and go at different times.

Its like sometimes a switch goes off in my body and things go off. Doesnt really matter what I do or am not doing, it happens and I have to just either lie down or ride it out somehow.

My issue right now is that there is 6 months plus waiting periods for private neurologists and I am not sure I can wait that long. I was only out for a nice brisk walk with my youngest the other day and out of nowhere started to have a flare up. It was cool, my head was numb but my torso was stabbing and tingling all over. Its hard to remain calm and composed and I was worried for my son because its not easy to hide the pain.

Anybody got any tips or suggestions on where one could go abroad for quicker treatment or even somewhere i could read up about same ?

Also any feedback on above or anybody who has ever had these issues , feedback would be welcome. The skin thing is really freaking me out and is my priority at the moment, I cant do exercise anymore and its very easy to trigger a flare up.

My friend's mother used to have similar issues. After she changed diet to primarily carnivores e.g. whole red meat daily (steak, stew, etc.), lamb liver once a week, stopped eating veg oils & high carb/sugar food (including bread, pizza, pasta, etc.) and follow 2-4 days water fasting every single week. And period of a month problems are gone away.
