Hi! I’m wondering if you have an update? I found this thread through Google. I have been having the same symptoms you describe, with out the hives, for a few seconds when my back starts sweating either from exercise or heat. I have recently been diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, so now that I’m treating that we’ll see if it changes, but nevertheless, I’d like to know more about what might be going on. I’m also beginning to get pins and needles in my arms abd legs, seemingly at random. I’m just starting my diagnostic journey. Any suggestions help!

Hello @hippiebeachchick, Welcome to Connect. I think your question was directed to @martinsmckinney but the member may not have seen your post. Hopefully they will see this one and can provide an update. The last post made by @martinsmckinney was in the Burning Feet syndrome discussion here and mentioned being prescribed antibiotics for an infection - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/burning-feet-syndrome/?pg=7#comment-364113.

Here's some information that might be helpful - Pins and needles - NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pins-and-needles/

Does your doctor think the pins and needles symptoms might be caused by the vitamin D deficiency?

Also starting mine, We both have a Vitamin D deficiency and the same symptoms: right before I sweat, my back (and maybe upper arms, thighs, and belly) start to feel little needles. There's a sharp pain for a second and then I feel a need to itch it. I've been scrolling through google for so long looking at anything for a solution, but nothing. I see so many people in a similar situation and read long forum posts. I've gained weight and quit tennis because the pain I get is not worth it, and it's embarassing when you move your body in a weird way in public and have to scratch it really hard. I'm so frustrated, and I feel like when I tell people close to me about how much these seemingly minor symptoms affect me, they don't take me seriously. I'm scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist and immunologist soon. This situation is really similar to a while ago when I used to get food stuck in my throat. I sat there for almost an hour scrolling and reading, seeing so many people with similar symptoms but no answers. When I ate something, it would randomly feel like a lump near my spine inside of my ribs, or sometimes in my lower throat. Went to a doctor and all of a sudden I was diagnosed with Eospinophilic Esophagitis. Luckily, now if someone looks that up GERD won't be the only thing suggested to them. If you haven't gone to a doctor yet, you should. Since the thing I think is causing my problems is histamines, a visit to the dermatologist and/or allergist/immunologist seems like a good idea to me. I know this sounds stupid but I know a few friends who were in a similar situation and were finally diagnosed when they went to the doctor. I know some people are scared of doctors, but they should at least be more than a last resort. Hoping I get lucky again and there is some unheard of but common condition that makes me allergic to sweat or something, and hoping I can treat it to. I'm going to start Vitamin D supplements tomorrow, too. Sorry if I wasted your time with this rant, and I wish you well on your needle-sweat journey.

TL;DR: Go to a doctor
