Crawling sensation : Crawling sensation a difficult to diagnose condition without a physical examination I have had a patient with this with liver disease, nerve problems, back pain, psychogenic pain, and low minerals-like low calcium. Low vitamin d can cause the attribute to calcium

Interpretation: Low vitamin D needs to be addressed, but not known to cause peripheral sensory issues. However, under circumstances, would check your B vitamins, especially B-12, as these could be low also. Have your doctor assess all of these and commence a stabilization approach.
