Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Welcome Dot from one new member to another! This group is very helpful and caring! I have had several responses to many questions that I have had about AIH. Keep us informed. By the way, my best friend in England is Dot! Take care. Kathy from Canada --- Dot <dot@...> wrote: --------------------------------- Hi all I'm new to this club. I was diagnosed with drug-induced hep [flucloxacillin] back in 1989 and since have developed cirrohsis. Everything is okay at present except for a lot of fluid problems, which I can control by overdosing on lasix [as lots of others I'm sure], but now I am developing a lot of pins and needles in my fingers and toes and feel it could be related to too much medication for fluid. Can anyone help me out here? I am also on Urso, Deralin, Aldactone [also for fluid] and Losec. Unfortunately I can't get to my Dr prior the 19th Jan as he is on holidays and I was hoping for any advice that could help. Kind regards Dot [sydney Australia] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Thanks very much Kathy. It is really lovely to meet so many wonderful friendly and helpful people. I too have found everyone to be very supportive and very ready to help out, but just the same no-one has yet been able to answer me on this question of pins and needles. Perhaps I'm on my own here??

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi Dot, I've got the tingling in my fingers and toes, but it's due to primary biliary cirrhosis, not meds. Much worse right now due to the weather - going back to the negative numbers tomorrow...ugh! Oh well, the price you pay to stay in New England, I guess. Good luck, Sandy C.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 hi amanda i was wondering if you have your neck fused or not? before i had mine fused my legs would just give way and i would fall as well has having some of the same feelings you are having. this could be because your neck is decompressing (i think that's the right word for it) and it might be pinching some nerves. now i'm not an expert on this and i'm only 18 and just telling you what i went through before my surgery. hope this helps a little. by the way i have larsen syndrome (it's VERY rare).

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I recently went through a similar experience and my doctor told me it was tendonitis brought on by repetitive strain at work (I'm a writer, always typing). The cure was two advil and a brace for my elbow/forearm. Hope this helps. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 --Hi Sharon, you might want to go to the links section of the group and check out the dematone map, it will show you where pain is coming from in your back or neck. It really is a good site to tell you what is causing pain in different parts of your body. I am guessing from what you said about the pins and needles in your upper back that it sounds like the problems I had with cervical discs. My neck, shoulders and upper back felt like a board sometimes and I could never get any relief from it. Also my dr told me that the trouble I had with my wrist was from that too. I hope and pray that that is not the case with you. But you should mention it all to your dr, he might want to have an mri done of your upper back and neck to make sure there is nothing going on there. Best of luck with your surgery I hope it gives you relief from the pins and needles. I know its a pain to deal with. Hope this info helps you some. Sharon Group owner p.s. I use a seat massager in my car when I go anywhere it really seems to help with my pain and a neck pillow helps if you are riding and not driving too. Any support you can give your back will help. Also if you haven't tried yet, try moist heat on your upper back, that will help relive some of the tension that is causing you pain. These are things I found that helped me, hope they help you some too.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 HI Bee, I hope all is well with you. I was wondering if the following product was ok for me to use? http://marigold-health-foods.com.au/?gclid=CImJuP7ilZoCFSRPagodsV9oNQ I have been suffering from very bad pins and needles in my hands 24/7. Do you think this could be something I am doing wrong? Hope to hear from you soon, Love Lee xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Sheila, posting re pins and needles, thought it better to email you than "patersonia" direct as when I have had problems waking with pins and needles in the past it has been B12 and sleep apnea issues - thought you might be able to point this out better than me.
