Funny tingling all over body

Trying again as my long post disappeared again so adding on to old post

Recovering from shingles and having now having the symptoms you are

briefly what works for me. Lots of water, 20 plus min of fast walking, regular meals watching food choices with no chocolate, spices, acidic fruits, do a shingles-food search, as much sleep, rest as possible. Avoid stressors as much as possible as body in tense fight-flight mode triggers nerves (when get nerves flairing up did my relax work and the calmed down. Work to focus your mind on sound of your slow, comfortably deep breath, on the sounds around you and gently bring it back when it wanders off. There is tons on relaxing mind and body just find one thing that works for you. Lenghy

meditation difficult due to pain so find one simple mind focusing thing to do. It takes practice so do not get stressed because it is not a quick fix.

if focusing on your body too difficult, try visulations as in Lamaze for child birth to move your mind away.

sending before disappears again and can not get this copied

better send this before it disappears again. Good luck to all think "this too shall pass"

which can help it pass!

HI Grace, I am glad that neurological problems have been ruled out, However I did prolapse a disc in my lower back in 1993. My back has had problems ever since. More recently I have had prickling and itching all over my body which occurs at random times and manifests itself in random places. Like you no clear identifiers on the outside of the skin but seems to originate from the nerves inside. I believe this is related to my back and is perhaps a pinched nerve sending out peripheral signals randomly across my body when the nerve is aggravated. Perhaps a visit to a physiotherapist may help who can advise on various stretching exercises to loosen up the troubled area to bring relief and lessen the symptoms. No guarantees obviously, but certainly nothing to lose

How long did it take for you to fully recover? What were your symptoms? I am trying to take my Shingles diagnosis one day at a time, but I have been experiencing numbness and tingling for 4 months now and I am concerned that it may never end.

Just like so many ppl in this discussion i have had this tingling, sharp, itchy sensation throughout my body for the past couple months. At times i feel it behind my ears, cheeks, neck, back etc. I also have chronic back discomfort. Recently i went to the doc and found out I have arthritis below my pelvic area. Im assuming the symptoms ive been having could be related to arthritis. The steps im taking going forward is a holistic approach. I started a plant based diet as well as started using the Dry Sauna. Ill keep my journey updated as time goes on to see if this takes or minimizes the symptoms.

Hi

Gabamentin is great for that. I use it

So, I have had to do all my own research, since the docs don't seem to know anything helpful.  I, too, have had the tingling pins and needles all over my body, a foggy brain, and an unusual sleep disorder (I sleep only when the sun is up) for about 5 years, now. 

Through my research I found that low levels of magnesium (even just lower end, like mine) was my cuplrit.  Within about 2 weeks of taking  magnesium I began sleeping earlier and earlier in the night and for shorter lengths of time.  The pain is nearly gone and the tingling, too. Magnesium is a natural way to help heal the nerves and is supposed to help fibromyalgia.

During this same period my heart was skipping beats often and if it lasted too long I would start having trouble breathing.  So, I began taking CoQ10 200mg.  That, too, has calmed down a lot.  I am greatful because I still have 2 months until I see the cardiologist.

I have numbness and tingling in my hands and feet which is nothing new for me.  I was testing years ago while supplementing with oral b-vitamins and my b12 was high-normal.  About a month ago, I noticed a cool, sometimes cold spot on the left side of my head, which felt at times like a fan was blowing cool air on that spot.  I went in for a repeat b-12 and my levels were okay and I was still supplementing with oral b12.  The other symptom that I've had for years is brain fog that comes and goes.

I don't believe my b12 results are accurate so I started supplementing with sublingual b-12, 1000mcg. daily and after two weeks my brain fog has improved and my cold spot is gone.

I've done my own research on the reliability of b12 testing and I believe the testing can be off if you are supplementing with b vitamins.  If you doubt your results are accurate, you can request an MMA, urine or serum, or a homocysteine test.

 

Hi, I have this exact same thing right now and it's sending my anxiety through the roof. I'm so scared that I'm dying and I just can't get the courage to go see my GP because I have a massive phobia of medical tests etc and most of all, hearing that I have a life threatening illness. I just feel so trapped right now. It's really affecting my quality of life. The tingling is all over my body every day lasting only a second or so in each area then moving around. From my head to my toes. My hands and feet sometimes feel numb too especially at night. I'm convinced I have MS but I'm too afraid to be tested I just don't know what to do.
