A co-worker was telling a bunch of us at work that her 8 year old daughter told her she didn't feel good...something just wasn't right. After questioning the girl about what it was that was wrong with her...she finally said to her mother, that it felt like bugs were eating on her from the inside out. She said she feels it all over her body, not just in an isolated area.

Has anyone ever experienced or heard of such a thing? If so, what was the medical diagnosis for it?

I remember when I was a kid, probably about 8, and I was visiting my sister in hospital.
As myself and my Mum walked through the ward we saw a kid with Elephantiasis.

Once we got past this kid I asked my Mum what was wrong with the little boy and my Mum said, 'it looks like Elephantiasis'.

I looked at my Mum and said, 'Mum that's a terrible thing to say',
I honestly thought she was joking but she explained that it was a disease.
I still remember it vividly to this day.

Co-worker said she looked her daughter over head to toe...no rash, no fever, no bruising...nothing visible. Will be interesting to see what the Dr. says.
