Pins and needles vs. tingling: what's the difference?

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

I have difficulty ranging the severity of these symptoms of paresthesia.

They sound nearly synonymic and seem to be often used interchangeably but I

suspect that tingling is a bit milder than pins and needles. Am I right?

Best regards,

Importance: High

Hi dears,

I've just found accidently this very good free on-line French Dictionary of

Cardiology. Written in French, it gives definitions for a lot of words,

descriptions of the main clinical studies, etc. You'll find also

explanations of abbreviations, including foreign abbreviations when commonly

used in cardiol.

It contains 148 pages, searchable and classified in alphabetical order.

Here's the address :

Hope this will be of some help.

Have a nice Sunday

reason to work harder as watching TV has become a real pain :-))
