@gently I greatly appreciate everyone who chips in with information. I am a retired nurse and I am appalled at what healthcare has become. I retired from nursing after Covid hit. It was the first week in March of 2021. I woke up two days later and had pin pricks from head to toes and in my eyes. Going off constantly they were. The first question that I asked the neurologist was How many of your patients experienced what I did. He said none it’s rare. In May I was diagnosed with Small Nerve Fiber neuropathy non length dependent and idiopathic. After 20 tubes of blood and nothing showed up that was it. I’d had the skin biopsy. I do take Alpha Lipoic acid and it helped a lot but I still get pin pricks and some of them are more stubborn then others. So I am guessing my small nerve fiber is deciding now it wants to do other things. We will see. This site is a good place for people to come and ask questions. I find it friendly and helpful. No one in my family had any type of issue like this. I got two Covid shots in January and I was in the time range to have a reaction. It will be years in the making if they find that out. You are right about the neck and different positions. I will sit in my easy chair and fall asleep with my head bent over. That’s bad. I tell my husband to keep his eye on that. I do have arthritis in my neck along with disc issues. Trying to get answers from Doctors is like pulling teeth. I am gonna do some more reading about neuropathy. I saw the ARNP because they said my Neurologist didn’t have an opening for four months. The head pressure was one thing for sure but when I happened to be sitting in the Neurology office and I noticed the feelings that I was having that was weird. One came on my ear lobe. One on my left arm and one on my right arm. I noticed awhile back I had some tiny twinges in my cheek. I had that again tonight. I did wondered when I had it if it was a part of small nerve fiber. I know it has nothing to do with my teeth. I have dealt with the pinpricks but the head pressure has totally unnerved me. I go to bed and lay there and I am not sleeping well. I most certainly will be seeking answers for sure. I am 69 years old but I walk like I mean it. I most certainly am not giving up either. I will seek answers.
