Hi all hope your all doing ok. Ive been suffering with pins and needles in my right hand and right foot mainly at bedtime on and off for approx 3 years along with tiredness and headaches. Ive had blood tests to mainly to check b12 but all was gine. However approx 5 months, i was getting the pins and needles through the day also. I also was getting pain in my right foot and hand. My gp said i had plantar fasciitis in my foot and carpel tunnel in my hand ( baring in mind i already had carpel tunnel release 8 years ago after symptoms but nerve test was neg). Also when holding some things in my right hand i get a tremor. Also been getting muscle numbess in left arm which is getting worse snd now pain in my wrist. I get server headaches as soon as i wake. Feel like ive been drinking and the times i just get tye overwhelming tiredness feeling. Also started with sleep paralysis. I was referred to neuro and mri approx 2 years ago, for pins and needles, headaches and tiredness but she didnt really know so gave me amitriptyline. My b12 was low 3 months ago and injections, however symptons back but numbness worse, b12 levels ok but gp wants to do neuro examination and refer to neuro again.
Hi anon
sorry to read that you have these symptoms.
see your GP and take him up on his/her offer to refer you back to neurology.
make notes of your symptoms so that you don’t forget during the consultation.
take a trusted friend along and ask him/her to prompt you if your words dry up (they probably will) and to make notes of what the neuro says.
don’t get stressed because it only makes everything worse.
eat as well as you can and rest as much as possible.
all those people who have said, “let me know if there’s anything i can do” well let them know and NEVER refuse help when offered.
the really awful thing is that none of us are experts but we do have a lot of empathy.
take care
