Pain Started three months back with pins needles at night heavy arms fatigue Nerve / weak feeling in both forearms this comes and goes sporadically and to varying degrees . This occurs in both arms at exactly the same time from midway up the bicep to fingers but predominantly in my forearms. I still have grip and dexterity during these episodes but makes me feel overall nausea and body tired this comes in waves during the day . Particularly bad at night wake up with pins and needles in the middle of the night and feel sick . Fades a little when I get up but still have some pain which then fluctuates during the day with a feeling of weakness and heaviness . Anyone have some ideas of what this may be ?

    Hi Tom,

    i had almost similar experience, however mines felt like a massive adrenaline rush through my arms...this only happened about twice in a few days, but developed nausea as well. I remember getting my bloods done and feeling so bad with nausea.

    After that I developed an internal shaking feeling which lasted a week, then it turned to neuropathic pain. It lasted 3 months, then went away. But has came back and been with me for over a year.

    I had various other neurological symptoms as well, like muscle twitching, tinnitus, etc. Went to see a neurologist but nothing of significance was found. I had low folate, and slightly elevated IgA. But they couldn't explain it.

    Hi tom ,I am also feeling tingling's in my legs and arms ,starts in the after noon since last week.

    Waking up at midnight and not able to sleep back. I am suffering from panic disorder and have been using bromazepam since 3 months. Many say that these are anxiety symptoms ,I hope so cause I am worried that I have neurological problems.
