What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation All Over The Body,fatigue And Forgetfulness?

I have pins and needles sensations all over body, extreme fatigue, especially in the afternoons, I have difficulty remembering things and thinking clearly, I m cold all of the time, my skin is very dry and cracks and bleeds. I am 38, but I feel like I m 90. I am trying to get in to see am md, but I have to wait 7 months for an appt since I am a new patient. What could be going on? 7 months is a long time when everyday is becoming a struggle.

Hello,

I agree that 7 months is a very long time to wait to see a doctor. You may have either a vitamin or a hormonal deficiency such as THYROID, Vit. B12, folate, or Vit. D deficiency. Blood tests can easily detect such metabolic problems if they exist which can then, point to relatively easy fixes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
