Hi there @fisbo. Ugh, I'm sorry you're having pins and needles and pain in your feet. Agreed, it is difficult to get used to.

Outside of meds and diet, have you explored using self-help tools like diaphragmatic breathing, stretching or meditation? Having heightened symptoms, and managing the acompanying emotional distress of life changes is stressful. How do you relieve stress? Do you have any hobbies or helpful distractions?

I swim which is something I have done for years but I stopped for a while due to these symptoms and the pandemic. My swimming is now a struggle to do. I manage 40 lengths 3 times a week but my swimming is awful now. My legs are the problem due to the condition and so it goes on. My interests are the usual but this whole thing with the pins and needles and pain is getting me down indeed.
