Pins and needles in my left hand.

[babysunshine20]

Hi, I have noticed I have been getting pins and needles in my left hand. It comes and goes throughout the day. But I am concerned. Has anybody experienced this and knows what it is???? I am making a drs app next week to see what they say.
Thanks.

Could be something simply like being anaemic or low vitamin B12. Could be RSI type thing if you use hands for work a lot like typing? It’s annoying and constant reminder but try not worry to much yet. Prob do bloods first to rule out and ask about other symptoms.

Did you ever find out what this was, @babysunshine20? I've been getting pins and needles in my left hand, to the point it sometimes wakes me up.

I have ME and my symptoms include occasional pins and needles in my hands and feet especially on the left side. I also get other symptoms that are clearly neurological in origin such as myoclonic jerks during the day and a kind of electrical sensitivity--if someone touches my skin it feels as if I were receiving an electric shock. There is also weakness on the left side so that even controlling a pen can be too hard sometimes!

Unfortunately tests such as MRIs and PET scans have not revealed any pathology. I do not have CNS inflammation either as the majority of ME sufferers do. Nor do I have MS (two family members do have it). Neurological symptoms especially if they come and go are hard to study and diagnose. But you should see your doctor, I think, as they can be signs of serious conditions. Best of luck!

PS Typing this took me half an hour!
