KarenLorrel Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 sorry...my posting got away from me! I was wondering if anyone has had a prickly sensation in their feet. It is like walking on needles....not unbearable but different.Can anyone explain this type of symptom. I have been diagnosed with POTS/EDS.Prior to this I was diagnosed with CFS. These symptoms are new to me. I did look up past postings but would still like to hear from any of you who have had similiar symptoms.Thank you!Lorrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi LorrellI guess you could call it a prickly feeling, hmm not sure. When I am outside my skin and the hairs on my skin almost feel like I am on fire!!! I never really had that before, I am thinking I just can't tolerate any kind of heat now. I am seeing a neurologist today for the first time am going to mention it to him and see what he thinks. will let you knowsue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Definitely mention it to your neurologist. I know that a friend of mine who's a diabetic describes similar sensations in her hands and feet...which is called diabetic neuropathy. Not sure how much neuropathies are a POTS symptom, although if you skim down the "symptom" list on DINET, you'll see that numbness and tingling is on there.http://www.dinet.org/symptoms.htm Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
