I have numbness in my left upper leg once a week, to the point where I cant feel anything when I touch the skin on my leg. I also have pins and needles in the same leg. I don't have any pain. I also have a slight case of scoliosis. Its not visible but it might be a contribution to the numbness in my leg?
View 3 RepliesI have been taking Simvastatin for over two years. During this time I have got progressively worse. Started with tingling and pins and needles in hands and fingers, sore sole of the feet and a little bit of joint stiffness, lumpy legs, severe lethargy, tiredness and irritability.
NOW I have muscle wastage of the shoulder muscle, severe joint pain in spine, chest, hips, wrists and fingers. I have lost the grip and strength in my left hand, finding it difficult and clumsy to use. My sight is progressively getting worse, I feel as if I,m looking through a slight fog. My memory loss was becoming a real problem. Diarrhea, chronic muscle spasms - I was beginning to think I was going to die.
I have only just been made aware that the cause could be Simvastatin - stopped taking them 5 days ago and I am feeling a little better having good days and bad days.
My concern is that if these problems have been caused by Simvastatin - it looks like they could be irreversible!
I had a mini flare 10 days ago and went up from 8 to 9 and half. The last two days I have had extremely uncomfortable numbness and pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. The numbness is so bad that I scratched my leg on my zip and drew blood, but hardly felt a thing. I have a bright red weal there now.
View 12 RepliesI've had anxiety for years and most of my family suffers from it. Recently I've been having pins and needles, burning feeling in my hands or feeling of numbness in my fingertips. When I wake up in the morning I feel very shaky inside and today I've felt my legs shaking throughout the day and feeling weak. I'm feeling so overwhelmed by it and convincing myself I have MS. It's literally preoccupies my mind throughout the day and I feel like I'm driving myself crazy checking for symptoms. I've been seeing therapist for years and I've been fine for years but for some reason it hit me hard again beginning of this year. Does anyone have similar symptoms?

View 8 RepliesTen days ago I had a robotic laparoscopic myomectomy to remove four large fibroids from my uterus. The surgery went great, and I've been recovering at home and have been waited on hand and foot by my husband a bit less each day.
The only problem I'm having is occasionally in one specific spot I'm experiencing a pins and needles type of pain - sometime like shards of glass - in my abdomen. Yesterday I thought it was the result of overdoing it so I rested yesterday and still woke up in pain. My doctor is an hour and a half away (closest one I could find who does the Da Vinci robot!) so I'd hate to schlep myself all the way there if I don't need to. Anyone have any insight about this kind of pain following surgery?
I've just taken my second tablet of the day about 20 mins ago and I'm having serious side effects. I've been on them since Thursday and have had a few issues with shaking, palpitations, insomnia and some mega weird dreams but nothing I couldn't cope with. in fact nothing I didn't have in one degree or another before.
Tonight I'm in serious pain with my chest. My heart feels like it's breaking out and breathing is hard. I'm light headed and dizzy when sitting but when I lay down my head starts pounding as if all the blood is being pumped in there.
My legs feel numb and everything below the knee has pins and needles.
I have been taking this medication for nearly 4 weeks , the first 2 weeks with prednisolone as a treatment for nasal polyps. I am spaced out most of the time , have had weakness in my muscles, pins and needles and numbness in my fingers. My stomach was painful so I have taken omeprazole for that which eased that pain altogether. Clarithromycin also have me insomnia and mood changes. They made my skin greasy,eventually spotty, and I have headaches and think I am sensitive to the light.
I finish them in 3 days time thank the Lord. At times I felt like passing out and unusually for me zonked out at unlikely moments during the day.
This has left me with pins and needles in my knee which is very painful at times. I do have a bit of arthritis behind the knee, if anyone else has had this problem does the cream called flexiseq work ?

View 1 RepliesMy daughter was born at 32 1/2 weeks and has very mild cerebral palsy, she is now 17 and experiencing days when she can't get out of bed. She is just exhausted and gets pins and needles. The doctor suggested it could be ME but I wondered if its a result of her Cerebral Palsy. Every time she does something that requires more mental or physical input than normal she is then wiped out for 2 days. Her CP has never really affected her, she wore Piedro boots as a child but recent years has had a "normal" life. Would really appreciate some input, she is due to have an MRI next week.
View 1 RepliesI have been taking 1800mg of Gabapentin (600 3 times daily) for less than a year now to help with my nerve pain. It was working well however in the last few weeks, I have noticed that shooting pains and the pins needles sensations have started to return. Is it possible I've built up a tolerance to gabapentin? I wanted to check in here first before going to my Dr to see if anyone else had had the same experience.
View 4 RepliesI have been using Lansoprazole for nearly 4 years, I am on 30mg daily, it works great, and I rarely get heartburn these days.
However I have for the past year been experiencing severe lower back pain, pins and needles, strong headaches and more recently dry mouth and dizzy blurred vision.
I stopped taking the Lansoprazole for couple of days, to see if side effects would go away, but the heartburn came back with a vengeance.
So I am having to choose between which is more unbearable, back pain etc. or the heartburn.
I have chosen at the moment to go back on lansoprazole, but if anyone knows of an alternative that works as well, but with no side effects, let me know.
Can anyone out there help been on Lofepramine 70g (for 2 weeks) and have serious numbness and tingling under my right breast into my stomach. Today i have woken up with a stiff leg and can't lift me leg to put my sock on. Anyone had same experience?
View 1 RepliesI wonder if anyone else has had numbness and tingling in extremities? My GP had thought that the issues in my right hand were due to carpal tunnel and related to my swollen elbows. I had thought the numb toes on my right foot I had in winter was due to raynauds. But it's summer now, my elbows are much better, but I'm waking every night from numbness and tingling in left and right hands and right toes and heel.
I don't see this listed as a side effect of plaquenil or as a symptom of lupus. It's not a huge deal, but does result in less sleep. Does anyone else have this or know the cause?
I am forty five years old and was given a confirmed diagnosis of RRMS in 2009. Since my dx I have been on one DMD, Rebif. I was on it for a year and had to stop due to the side effects. Right now I am med free except for vitamin D supplements. For the past 3 months I have had numbness and intermittent tingling in my right ear canal. I feel numb above my ear (mastoid bone) as well as behind ear. The numbness does not go away however I do experience tingling intermittently. I also have reduced sensation on the right side of my forehead and head. My ear feels full and the sensations I feel are strange. I notice it more at night.
My primary doctor and my MS specialist are not aware of my latest symptoms because I have had sensory issues for years and I am assuming this is all MS related. I am wondering if anyone else here has had similar symptoms. I have no pain just the numbness and tingling.
I will be seeing my specialist sometime in the New Year to review my MRI of brain and C spine. It was ordered almost a year ago (routine) MS doc just wants to see the disease process as he wants me on another DMD. I just had the MRI a week before Christmas.
Having MS is difficult because whenever I have health symptoms I automatically think it is MS related and so I just leave it alone and don't go to the doctor. I am worried that perhaps I could be hindering my health by assuming everything is MS related. Anyways, thanks for reading this I have been lurking for some time and today I decided to post.
I'm a 41 yr old who has been suffering with tingling and numbness in my face, hands and feet and my tongue deviates slightly to the right. I have also had periods of dizziness. I have been hospitalized twice in the last month. Every test has come back negative... One neurologist suggested I could be having Tia while another said its not. I have a strong feeling that my menstrual cycle may play a part in this. I was looking at post from 2011 and their were other women who have similar symptoms!
