Hi there and welcome. I get pins and needles sometimes, and also I am aware of the overlap of diseases, untreated thyroid problems which often go undetected and are quite common with APS can cause terrible internal shivering and also sweats, and of course the brain fog, which we all have with APS anyway. I suggest you ask about this if you can. Mary F x

Yep I get all the above including what I can only descibe what feels like ice cubes being dropped into the scull?!!!

We all feel alone with our symptoms but believe me...were not!

When inr goes low like at moment it all gets worse with me....like now!!

Hope we can help you any way we can with your worries & questions x

Hi daftdog! I have all that you're describing above plus a host of other symptoms too. Sorry to disappoint you but being in Spain doesn't make any difference at all!!!!! When the weather outside is 45 degrees I can still feel freezing cold and experience pain. Or I can have hot sweats for hours even in the winter when we go down to minus figures at night time.

I hope you are getting some good advice and help from your medical team? Good luck from here InSpain. xxx

Is possible for you to see Dr. Hughes in London? You might need that diagnostic lick start

And I can totally sympathize with the challenge of holding one's tongue when one's very real and serious symptoms are back handed away by judgemental, clueless doctors.

Very good advice. I speak from personal experience. My Neuro tells me that some of these symptoms, such as pins and needles, can be caused by the aura that comes before migraines too.
