Pins and needles

tonyaraven, I had horrible pins and needles in my hands. I tuck one hand under the pillow when I sleep and it always would get it.

I don't know if it is a circulation problem. I don't think so. After healing from lyme I rarely get it now. I have no idea what was up with that. Heck, I have no idea what half of the symptoms I had were caused from. I just always assumed lyme and left it at that.

Nightmares were a huge problem with lyme. I would wake up my husband screaming "HELP ME!" Very vivid and scary dreams, nightmares.

I had anxiety pretty bad, but not really a panic attack. Gosh, lyme made me have so many things. I had such a long list on my journal.

I get that while I'm sleeping or if I'm sitting and have my toes bent. It got better for a while with treatment, but resurfaced with other symptoms. I think it's lyme-related though it could be other things, like diabetes, carpal tunnel.

I had the pins and needles sensation in my hands, feet and legs for several years before being diagnosed with Lyme, Babesia, and Bart last September, and it was getting increasingly worse over time.

It was one of the first symptoms to improve when I started treating (pulsing antibiotics with supplements) , but it took treating the Bartonella to really make headway. Now, it's mostly gone.

For what it's worth, I noticed that the pins and needle were worse when I ate gluten products and when I didn't detox enough.

Keep going. It will get better.

Hey tonyaraven, So sorry you're dealing with panic attacks! I deal with some intense anxiety, & that's bad enough, but it's definitely not a panic attack. I really hope you are able to find some relief from them!

As far as pins & needles - Yep... I also have this - hands, feet, legs , arms , & sometimes butt cheeks...happens on & off & kinda travels around the body parts throughout the day & night. Originally it only happened while lying down or while driving or talking on the phone( arms) ; but now it happens any old time/ position...I definitely think it's a Lyme thing, or maybe a confection thing...changing positions / moving around will (at least temporarily ) reduce or relieve this symptom for me.

I get tingling on top of my head. Most people seem to get them in on there hands and feet though.

Found this tonight because I can't sleep from the pain and tingling in my hands. Feet and legs. It's unbearable. I don't have any antiinflammatories left so I put icy hot on but it's not working. Wish I had a sleeping pill! ☹️ Only have to get up in 4 hours.

i have them coming and going. traveling, sometimes in feet sometimes on face, or hands. it's damage to the nerves by the antibodies against lyme, they resemble myelin nerve coating and cross react.

it goes away with treatment.
