I Have Suffered From Pins And Needle Feeling As Well
Question: I have suffered from pins and needle feeling as well twitching on my face, arms and legs for 4 weeks. I have had a thorough neurology test including MRI of the brain and c spine and all are negative. I do suffer from low Vitamin D. What else can it be? ALS, MS, Lupus and Venereal Diseases all have been ruled out.
Brief Answer:
Thyroid gland function to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, besides the conditions that have been excluded, thyroid gland dysfunction should be evaluated further.
Blood tests for thyroid gland hormones levels are necessary for this purpose.
Low vitamin D also may cause a number of symptoms, but not as typical as yours.
When it comes to neurological symptoms, the best tool for a correct diagnosis is a thorough neurological examination.
I think that if after such evaluation there is not a diagnosis, anxiety may be a possibility.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
