I get spasms all over and to varying degrees of intensity. Sometimes they are associated with pain, mostly they are just annoying and occasionally they make me laugh because they feel like someone invisible has just touched me.

I get the same sensation, but no pain with it. Never knew what it was, but it always makes me think of those awful Discovery Channel shows about parasites because it feels like there are things crawling around under my skin. :o
