Pins and Needles, weird sensations

[Harper]

It all started last week on the way to visit my family. A long drive with my two young kids. I am pretty sure I was extremely stressed.
Every since then I get pins and needles feeling all over, sometimes it feels like my arms or legs have water on them, and they dont.
I have also been very tired, and feel like in a fog.
Has anyone had something similar?
I am seeing the doctor on Thursday.

Hmmm sounds like cold or flu like symptoms.
Stress especially can make you weaker for stuff like that.
A long drive doesn’t help either.
Have a look what your doc says, but I imagine it’s nothing bad.
You might just need to rest and relaxation.

I dont have either of those.
I am trying to get rest now, but its all I can think about!

Pins and needles, numbness and extreme stress are feelings I get when I am having a panic attack. When I feel this way I need to get away from everything and relax in a dark room. Music, an audio book or nature sounds often help me to focus on something and calm down. Just a suggestion...

Hey! This sounds like paresthesia to me. I actually did a thread on this as well, so please check it out so you can match o your symptoms. This happened to me while having a minor panic attack due to my blood pressure being too high. I urge you to read my thread and feel better
