Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm reluctant to suggest this, but it could neuropathy. Diabetics often have it. Consult your doctor. Jack My Norwegian Family It's Wednesday and I'm sad to say goodbye to the 6 of my huge Norwegianfamily this morning. It's been fun, exhausting and I learned so muchabout the history of my family there in Norway. They shop until theydrop! Everything is so much cheaper here for them. They bought shoesand clothing-mostly shoes!Anyway, I see there's been a problem with a Mayleen email. I searchedback thru the postings and can't see where it began.My heart is saddened by the news of our Vicki....bless her and herfamily!Question. I've been experiencing pin needles in my feet, lower legs andfingers. Does anyone else experience this? Do you think it's relatedto PF?Joy in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Joy Many long years ago I had a friend with Norwegian family and Thanksgiving Dinner was a mix of traditional American and Norwegian. As to the needles. Are you feeling that you must move the legs, feet, hands or arms to get comfort? If so, read on. If not I may not be talking about the same feeling you have. I have and have had for ages Restless Limbs Syndrome. In fact, mine is to the extreme of being labelled peripheral neuropathy. Now, like most things I have, mine is of unknown cause. However, autoimmune diseases can cause it and they are often associated with PF. It can also be caused by diabetes so certainly a precautionary check there . If it is either of these while not directly caused by PF it could be related. There are also other diseases that could give these symptoms. They include causes such as vitamin deficiencies and endocrinological disorders. I would definitely see a neurologist as this condition is generally treated easily and effectively but pinpointing the cause is important. Mine is somewhat controlled by medication. Mine isn't PF related as I've had it since childhood. > > > It's Wednesday and I'm sad to say goodbye to the 6 of my huge Norwegian > family this morning.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi Joy!... Good to see you on the board. Did you last "until they drop" when shopping? As to your question, I don't have what you describe but could it be a circulation problem? I'm sure someone here will have a suggestion. Take good care of you. MamaSher, age 69.
