Peri Paraesthesia?

Anyone experienced this? Numbness and tingling? Where in your body and what other symptoms? Dr is suggesting it may be linked to peri for me - not many other signs of peri other than night sweats though…

Feet and hands. Its horrible.

Has anything helped?

mine started with tongue, now it’s in feet, hands and face too. I have no idea whether it’s linked to hormones or not.

My daughter had nerve problems before she was diagnosed with Coeliac disease. Could it be that?

I have been getting pins and needles for a while now that I’m sure are menopause related. GP is doing bloods to check nothing more sinister is going on though…

I've had it for years and got it dismissed as fibromyalgia. I don't think it is but now everything i have is either fibromyalgia or old age (I'm not even 60) 🙄

It would be interesting to see if it's actually a common symptom to a lot of women.

I get really tired and dizzy too…
it’s a worry!

I don’t think coeliac. I hope your Daughter is ok

Although, I have been getting an occasional rash with small blisters…see that’s a coeliac symptom…not many stomach pains. Weight loss, tiredness, dizziness

I have this in spades since I've slid into menopause.

I find doubling a complete vitamin B complex helps. I used to wake with particularly bad symptoms and this subsided with extra vitamin B each day.

Have you had your B12 checked, OP?

EBearhug · 05/07/2024 00:17

B12 deficiency can present like this.

This is interesting as I’ve started waking up with a numb hand every night. I think I’m beginning peri too

Thanks, yes, bloods all fine - B12 fine

I will start taking b vits I think. It started at 50. Post menopause.

Thanks for thread.

No, nothing seems to help. Diizy, tired, also.

Yes, I've had it for years. Mine is usually a 'creepy crawly' feeling down my leg or arm although I had a weird period of pins and needles in my fingers, almost like nettle rash. Very alarming but only lasted about a week or so. Perimenopause is so intense and weird. I've had a lot of the less common symptoms. To be honest I just think 'God, what next!?' now. I must be getting on for ten years of this strangeness and it feels sodding never ending - but that's another thread..
