Dear Friends, I am a new ostomy patient. Two months since colectomy...

Although I have been slowly gaining weight I am still about 20 lbs under. I am experiencing a symptom of tingling or "pins and needles" all over my body. A nurse friend told me to take extra vitamin B. I am doing that and possibly feeling a little better.

Anyone else have this symptom while underweight? Or heard of it?

Eugene, I just wanted to welcome you to the forum, although I can't help too much w/your specific question.

I had some tingling from being on prednisone, but not from being underweight (although a lot of the time I was both on pred and underweight, but I think mine was the pred). Hope you get some answers soon.
