Thanks for all the posts....there are some really good threads in here.  Transient issues are never easy to describe, this one seemed even stranger.

MERALGIA PARESTHETICA  seems to fit the bill for me.  Thanks for sharing that information.

I have a warm feeling on the outside edge of my left foot.  It is not constant, or painful, but it feels exactly like sun is shining brightly on that foot, or its sitting on a heating pad.  it happens mostly when i am sitting with that foot touching something, or sitting at my desk with shoes on.

Thanks for your input on Citalopram being a factor or not in this condition.  I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow to see if he can shed any light on this strange condition we're all experiencing.  I'll let you all know what I find out.

I wish my husband was reading these blogs and now he can understand what im talking about..really the sensation feels good specially when its chilly outside here in iowa. I first immediatly wiped my leg as well. it feels like warm water being poured down on it. Yes the look on the doctors face..was priceless.. although it feels good..It would be a reassurance to know if it something to be concerned about.

I started to get the warm wet feeling on my right thigh. At first I kept looking down to see if something was spilling on there, even though I had nothing in my hands. I am going to the dr tomorrow because I was freaking out. I hope they dont think I am nuts when I go...
