Hi, can anyone help?

We are currently experiencing tightness in the head and pins and needles. Also very very unsteady on foot.

Any words of wisdom out there??

Hi

One of my Sues main symptoms of her condition is pins and needles but all over her body and skin. She best described it as being plunged into a scalding bath and the pain in your skin at that point!

We spoke to her consultant and GP and got a range of nerve inhibitor medication which has relieved it.

Hope this helps.

I go to physical therapy for gait/ walking training. I tend to fall backwards. I find that a physical therapist who does myofascial release. accupressure, and dry needling help a lot. My muscles are weak.

We have to exercise and keep active as much as possible.

Some people like accupuncture.

Massage helps.

I hope some of this helps.
