I had the raindrops feeling down my legs much of the time when I would go outside. I had long pants on, but it felt like cold water was cascading down my legs.
It stopped but then a bit ago I had it some on my torso. This was happening indoors. I thought maybe it was from soaking in Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap. So I stopped using it for a while. It stopped but today it is back and worse than ever.
It is on my back - spine area in particular - and entire torso. It feels like very cold water. But when I touch the skin it is warm.
At this point I know it is not the peppermint soap because I stopped it long enough that it could have no effect at this point. I found out that this is a symptom called L'Hermitte's sign and is indicative of spinal lesions.
It occurs in a variety of illnesses including MS, arthritis, cervical spondylosis, disc compression, pernicious anemia, tumors and multiple sclerosis. (I've noticed in addition to cancer there is a strong connection of MS w Morgellon's.)

In MS, L'Hermitte's is an indicator of lesions in the cervical spine (the part of spine in the neck). Movement of the neck causes the damaged nerves (the demyelinated neurons) to be stretched and send erroneous signals. The symptoms can occur anywhere below the neck and many people with MS find that it moves around their body from one day to the next.

This is typical of some of the scary aspects of M. Even when external symptoms seem to be at a minimum attacks can still be going on below the surface.
