[Codswallop]

woke feeling fluey in the night and rough this am ,achey and sick feeling

have had pins and needles in right hand all day and nhs direct have had kittens and dispatched me off th Gp asap!
have looked on internet and see its linked to ms
great

do you lean over the cot with your armpit resting on the edge?

Coddy could it be saturday night palsy? It's a condition so called because it's often caused by sleeping awkwardly after a heavy night on the booze (but often not!) and it traps the radial nerve (I think) and can cause pins and needles/altered sensation/numbness.

Dh had pins and needles in his leg for ages and they did an mri scan for MS but it was just a trapped nerve, I really wouldn't panic (know it's hard though)

yes I do always lean over the cot lik that Pops , repeatedly!

Sat night palsy , havent heard of that one cd !

I know it sounds odd but is def a condition, hang on I'll look it up there it is in the glossary

My word I learn so much from mumsnet , well Ill be darned!!

Are you breastfeeding, Codswallop? I have pins and needles in my right hand and have had it ever since my 7th month of pregnancy. I've been breastfeeding DS for nearly 4 months now. I was told that it is Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and that it will go away eventually. It appears to be associated with my massive weight gain and water retention. HTH

melsy - you may have what I had then!
i stopped doing it and it hasnt come back

am off soon will report back

I have a temp - 38 and have to report any change for the worse

Had I had measles she asked..

Oh coddy . I hope you are in bed right now. Poor you. I hope it goes away as quickly as it came.

Coddy, look after yourself. Hope it's nothing serious honey and you're back being your normal brash self very soon.

Poor thing, hope you,re feeling better soon xx

Hope it's nothing too bad. Get your feet up with a hottie bottie and try not to worry.

Oooh you must be getting star treatment. I just got told the "back in 2 weeks" bit No drawing of blood - pours out of me so wouldn't have been a problem.

I read somthing in the Times this weekend about this- if you go to the doctors with pins and needles or dizzy spellls (and apparently lots do) they apparently always start being serious and thinking about MS, but in 99.9% of cases it isn't that! (apparently its not a particularly first symptom of MS anyway).

And NHS direct seem to do a good line in worrying people. I was told that ds1 needed to see a dr urgently today so to go to A and E - (He couldn't wee) and (this is the NHS direct reassuring bit) "if he collapses and stops breathing on the way pull over and dial 999 on your mobile" (!!!) OK I was fairly gibbering by the time I arrived!

This can also be a symptom of a migrane - you don't have to get the pain - I very often get all of the other visual and physical symptoms, including pins and needles down one side of my body/face/hands and fingers but no pain!!

Do you suffer from migrane at all??
