Cerebral Palsy :: Exhausted / Fatigue And Gets Pins And Needles
Sep 26, 2013
My daughter was born at 32 1/2 weeks and has very mild cerebral palsy, she is now 17 and experiencing days when she can't get out of bed. She is just exhausted and gets pins and needles. The doctor suggested it could be ME but I wondered if its a result of her Cerebral Palsy. Every time she does something that requires more mental or physical input than normal she is then wiped out for 2 days. Her CP has never really affected her, she wore Piedro boots as a child but recent years has had a "normal" life. Would really appreciate some input, she is due to have an MRI next week.

I just want to know how the rest of you are dealing with the fatigue of a work day and fighting the fatigue. I'm 38 but most days I feel 108!

Ten days ago I had a robotic laparoscopic myomectomy to remove four large fibroids from my uterus. The surgery went great, and I've been recovering at home and have been waited on hand and foot by my husband a bit less each day.
The only problem I'm having is occasionally in one specific spot I'm experiencing a pins and needles type of pain - sometime like shards of glass - in my abdomen. Yesterday I thought it was the result of overdoing it so I rested yesterday and still woke up in pain. My doctor is an hour and a half away (closest one I could find who does the Da Vinci robot!) so I'd hate to schlep myself all the way there if I don't need to. Anyone have any insight about this kind of pain following surgery?

I've just taken my second tablet of the day about 20 mins ago and I'm having serious side effects. I've been on them since Thursday and have had a few issues with shaking, palpitations, insomnia and some mega weird dreams but nothing I couldn't cope with. in fact nothing I didn't have in one degree or another before.
Tonight I'm in serious pain with my chest. My heart feels like it's breaking out and breathing is hard. I'm light headed and dizzy when sitting but when I lay down my head starts pounding as if all the blood is being pumped in there.
My legs feel numb and everything below the knee has pins and needles.

I have been taking this medication for nearly 4 weeks , the first 2 weeks with prednisolone as a treatment for nasal polyps. I am spaced out most of the time , have had weakness in my muscles, pins and needles and numbness in my fingers. My stomach was painful so I have taken omeprazole for that which eased that pain altogether. Clarithromycin also have me insomnia and mood changes. They made my skin greasy,eventually spotty, and I have headaches and think I am sensitive to the light.
I finish them in 3 days time thank the Lord. At times I felt like passing out and unusually for me zonked out at unlikely moments during the day.

I have numbness in my left upper leg once a week, to the point where I cant feel anything when I touch the skin on my leg. I also have pins and needles in the same leg. I don't have any pain. I also have a slight case of scoliosis. Its not visible but it might be a contribution to the numbness in my leg?

I have been taking 1800mg of Gabapentin (600 3 times daily) for less than a year now to help with my nerve pain. It was working well however in the last few weeks, I have noticed that shooting pains and the pins needles sensations have started to return. Is it possible I've built up a tolerance to gabapentin? I wanted to check in here first before going to my Dr to see if anyone else had had the same experience.

I have been taking Simvastatin for over two years. During this time I have got progressively worse. Started with tingling and pins and needles in hands and fingers, sore sole of the feet and a little bit of joint stiffness, lumpy legs, severe lethargy, tiredness and irritability.
NOW I have muscle wastage of the shoulder muscle, severe joint pain in spine, chest, hips, wrists and fingers. I have lost the grip and strength in my left hand, finding it difficult and clumsy to use. My sight is progressively getting worse, I feel as if I,m looking through a slight fog. My memory loss was becoming a real problem. Diarrhea, chronic muscle spasms - I was beginning to think I was going to die.
I have only just been made aware that the cause could be Simvastatin - stopped taking them 5 days ago and I am feeling a little better having good days and bad days.
My concern is that if these problems have been caused by Simvastatin - it looks like they could be irreversible!

I had a mini flare 10 days ago and went up from 8 to 9 and half. The last two days I have had extremely uncomfortable numbness and pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. The numbness is so bad that I scratched my leg on my zip and drew blood, but hardly felt a thing. I have a bright red weal there now.

I've had anxiety for years and most of my family suffers from it. Recently I've been having pins and needles, burning feeling in my hands or feeling of numbness in my fingertips. When I wake up in the morning I feel very shaky inside and today I've felt my legs shaking throughout the day and feeling weak. I'm feeling so overwhelmed by it and convincing myself I have MS. It's literally preoccupies my mind throughout the day and I feel like I'm driving myself crazy checking for symptoms. I've been seeing therapist for years and I've been fine for years but for some reason it hit me hard again beginning of this year. Does anyone have similar symptoms?

I have been using Lansoprazole for nearly 4 years, I am on 30mg daily, it works great, and I rarely get heartburn these days.
However I have for the past year been experiencing severe lower back pain, pins and needles, strong headaches and more recently dry mouth and dizzy blurred vision.
I stopped taking the Lansoprazole for couple of days, to see if side effects would go away, but the heartburn came back with a vengeance.
So I am having to choose between which is more unbearable, back pain etc. or the heartburn.
I have chosen at the moment to go back on lansoprazole, but if anyone knows of an alternative that works as well, but with no side effects, let me know.

I have been on 20mg Fluoxetine for 6 weeks and the past week I have been experiencing tingling (mild pins and needles sensation) intermittently in my feet, legs and hands. I have had other anxiety related symptoms and this is just adding to my anxiety.

My 12 (almost 13) year old daughter is about to get a baclofen pump. She is a foot user as her arms are severely spastic and have a mind of their own. The doctors all say that it will help with her hip pain (she has a dysplastic hip, it is on the leg that she uses) as well as the spasticity and tightness and pain that she has. they also say that it may help with her speech (she speaks very slowly and sometime cannot speak so well as her tightness makes her mouth all wonky).
She has botox about a year ago and it worked wonderfully... for about a week. so the doc does not want to do it anymore. I am totally ok with the pump and she really wants it, but i wanted to speak with others who have CP and have experience with the pump to know what your experience is.

Day 1
I woke up after having a cold/bad throat for about a week and noticed it was a little difficult to speak. I had a look in the mirror and thought it was because of the cold. By lunch time I could not grip a straw with my lips and one side of my mouth and my cheek would not move properly. I tried to wink or blink and could only do it with one eye and when I tried to screw my face up it only did it on one side. I did think that had a stroke and booked an appointment at the Doctors. She gave me a course of steroids and gave me a leaflet that explains about BP.
Day 2
My eye is a little worse today, I had a little control over my blinking yesterday and today it is almost impossible. It just continually streams that is quite a nuisance. I went and bought some surgical tape to tape it closed with tonight. It is far harder to get food in my mouth today as well as it does not seem to open as well as it did yesterday. On the plus side I do think I still have my taste on the left side. I get pins and needles and twitching around the area of my jaw and my forehead ATM.

I have a few problems I would like to ask about as I'm unsure if it's just me or not? The first one being my short term memory isn't very good at all, for example if I get asked to do something if I don't write it down I forget very quickly,another problem I have is my sense of direction it's bad. I can go somewhere (through to town) but I can't seem to memorise my way around. I'm now 29 and used to go with my friend every other weekend, no matter how many times we went I couldn't and still can't remember my way around. I hope what I've written makes sense and like I said I'd like to find out if it's a related problem to cerebral palsy or not.

2 days ago I woke up and hopped onto my computer like I do every morning (I'm 16/male and on summer vacation). I noticed that it felt awkward when I tried to blink my left eye. I didn't think anything of it and just continued on with my day.
The next day I woke up to the sound of my phone. I picked it up and it was one of my friends. He told me something that had happened the day before and made me laugh. I noticed that when I laughed only the right side of my face would move. I thought this was very strange and I got a bit scared.
I got off the phone and went to the bathroom and this is where I really freaked out. I couldn't move the left side of my face properly. Everything on the left side seemed a lot weaker than my right.
I tried looking it up for a few hours to see if anyone else has ever had this. I couldn't find anything except for a few forums with people saying it happened to them, but I still couldn't find out if it had a name. I was really scared and was having suicidal thoughts if this turned out to be permanent.
Anyways, I'm very very happy I found this site and that it heals itself. I told my mom and she's going to take me to the doctor so maybe he can give me steroids or something.
Summer vacation ends in about 3 1/2 weeks. I hope I recover by then because I'm not going to school like this, I don't care what my parents say.
I'll keep everyone updated. This is my second day so far with this dumb BP crap.

Yesterday, while working on my computer, I noticed my left eye would not close. Within an hour my lip was drooping and eating was difficult. This morning, my Dr. diagnosed Bell's Palsy and has prescribed a course of steroids. My eye is taped shut to prevent dryness and I feel like I am falling apart,--a a thought that occurs frequently as the my 65th birthday approaches. I have chronic kidney disease and want to know if there is any alternative remedy for this hell known as Bell's Palsy.
