Hot flashes on thigh

Have any of you experienced hot flashes on tights/legs? For some time now I have had a strange feeling as if I had wet myself on my left thigh/ knee. It appeared about 3 weeks ago. First it was sporadically once every few days, now several times a day. Do any of you also have something like this?

Yes, I had this for a few weeks last year. I would check my clothes in case I'd brushed against something wet or spilt a nonexistent drink (?!) or whatever, but the clothes and skin were always completely dry. Thought I was utterly insane. Then it suddenly happened very frequently between my legs, at which point I was voluntarily housebound as I couldn't just pass it off as yet another sensory malfunction (in case it wasn't...!). It was this symptom (after a few others) that made my husband say, "This all sounds more like M.S. than M.E.," which got me to see the GP and she then started off the process of "ruling out" M.S. That was last May. Second MRI due next Weds... Sorry for waffling. Yes, I've had patches of skin that feel wet but aren't. You're not going mad!

There are times when I get this sensation as well. I'll rush to the bathroom to make sure I didn't wet myself but often times I noticed that I have not and that these are hot flashes!
