Hi all,
For the past week I’ve had tingling in my hands and left foot (more in the fingers and toes). It not as bad as pins and needles but noticeable, although the left foot is worse when sitting down and I will then get pins and needles.
Strangely it started after taking St John’s wort, about 5 days after starting. I’ve stopped the tablets (stopped the tablets last Tuesday).
Do you think it’s linked? I also get prickling when in hot or cold water sometimes.
I thought I was getting carpel tunnel in my hands (suffered horrendously when pregnant and steroid injections worked) and it does have the same feelings so I would assume it’s that but it throws me that it is also in my foot!
I’ve started wearing hand splints at night which is helping as my hands hurt badly at nighttime.
I spoke to a lovely dr a few days ago and he said after lockdown he wants to do nerve conducting tests and also test my thyroid and b12! As we are all unsure when lockdown will end and I am going out of my mind thinking it’s MS or something awful and googling constantly, I’ve ordered a thriva test to see if it’s linked to b12, thyroid, diabetes etc.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?
To note for the past month I’ve been suffering badly with anxiety (not low moods just anxious especially with health or silly things like being stuck in traffic)!
Thanks so much - Char x
