Full body Loss of sensation(numbness) and tingling

Posted by anon25user @anon25user, Sep 29, 2022

Anyone have numbness and tingling through entire body? Doctor has no idea what could be causing it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

Same. First they said CIDP. BUT when nerve and muscle biopsy done. Said no. Now saying generic Lupus Polyneuropathy. Committed to say rare unknown disorder including a couple different autoimmune disorders

@bdebarge2022 Cleveland Clinic has a good article on psoratic arthritis:
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/13286-psoriatic-arthritis#prevention
It is estiamted that about 200,000 people in the US have PsA without having psoriasis. There is no test for PsA so a lot goes undiagnosed..

I am experiencing the same thing. Full body tingling/pins and needles, with kind of sudden onset. I do not have deficiencies and by all account am a very healthy 37/F. I have an appointment with a neurologist on Monday. Where you prescribed any medications?

Hello! What did the neurologist say? My daughter is experiencing whole body (except face and neck), for 3 weeks now. She had a brain CT at the ER and that was normal. She has an appointment with a neurologist tomorrow.
Hope you have some answers!

Did you ever figure out what caused your full body numbness? I have this and I'm really scared but I also have deficiencies so I don't know what is what I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy.

Hello! I still have not figured out what it is, but it may be small fiber neuropathy. Do you have an Autoimmune Disease, Have Covid or are you insulin resistant? I am trying to figure out if possibly one of these things is bringing it on. I don't have diabetes, but am pre diabetic because of either covid or whatever brought all of this on. Maybe an undiagnosed Autoimmune. I have had thyroid disease for a long time, but I have many symptoms of NeuroSjogrens.We also have tons of Lupus in the Family.

If you are in the pre diabetic category like I am, you might want to look into the Metabolic Syndrome. It does have a lot of connections with autoimmune and other conditions like neuropathy. Here are a few references:

Thankyou so much! I do think it is some kind of Autoimmune/Metabolic disease. I was in such good shape before this happened. I know you can still get pre diabetes even if you really take care of yourself though. I think this was brought on by covid/Autoimmune. I must be presenting different Than most people though because the Best Doctors in my area just can't figure it out.
