Good evening @mmksf, I see you have been dealing with some neuropathy symptoms for a while. At this point, you have no pain, just what I call tingle tangles. Unfortunately, my experience is quite similar. About 10 years ago, I had pines and needles in just the toes of my right foot and my fingers. They continued to spread until at this point, my feet are quite numb. In order to be able to drive a car, I have MFR (myofascial release) sessions twice a week. I have noticed that my legs are now impacted about halfway up to my knees. My fingers are quite tingly and I also tend to drop way too many things. Today it was the pantry container for pretzels and they spilled all over the floor.

Regarding opening jars .... I have seen some special tools that can help you. And, I am wondering if you have used Gabapentin and if that has helped put a lid on the pins and needles. Do you also notice an increase in the intensity of the feelings when the barometric pressure moves or decides to remain below 30? That can be accompanied by a sense of heaviness that goes above my knees.

The only area that sort of frightens me is my head. And I had that today. I know what it is and yet, it feels so uncomfortable that I worry about my brain.

Oh...I almost forgot, have you tried any topicals? I use a medical cannabis balm which does eradicate the feeling in my hands. I haven't found anything for my head. Have you tried cold or heat for momentary relief?

These symptoms seem to be somewhat common. Have you discussed your situation with a doctor? Do you have a neurologist or other type of specialist to help you?

Hopefully, other Connect members may be able to help both of us. Until then, there is comfort in not having the pain which can come with the pins and needles.

May you be safe, protected, and free of inner and outer harm.
Chris
