Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 Cindy, I too get RLS in my hands, even more so in my arms. I have recently had an increase in the " pins & needles " phenomine, waking up at night with a whole arm (right or left) in that state which I call " asleep " , but could certainly be described as " pins and needles " . It is the whole arm, surface skin, and goes away when I shake the arm and flex my hand. I was going to mention it to my physician when I go in for my next medication renewal, in April, since it is a new thing for me at this frequency. Previously, I had that sensations rarely, and more likely in my legs, now it is two or three times a week. I would be interested to hear how many others in the group have this, and do they think it is a variation on the RLS paresthesias, or something different.
