Hey,

I used to have a lot of pins and needles and numb patches. I was told that is to do with your nervous system and have been taking calcium supplements to help and it has lessened a lot, I still get random numb patches on my face sometimes. My specialist basically just told me not to worry about it but he says that about most things!

have you been to a neurologists these are the first signs of sjogrens peripheral neuropathy, my specialist told me the same thing and it wasn't till it paralyzed my breathing muscles that they had to do something about it, so if you get blurred vision, start falling over for no reason, eyes sensitive to light, double vision, bladder weakness and uncontrollable flatulence don't hesitate get a referral to the neurologists.
