Members connected over the frustrating experience of constant pins and needles sensations throughout the body, with many sharing that their symptoms are concentrated in the legs, feet, and hands, and often related to conditions like scleroderma, Sjogren's disease, or spine damage. Several members described medications that have helped them manage nerve pain, including gabapentin, Cymbalta, Lyrica, and ALA with B1, though some noted that gabapentin can cause mood changes or may not provide full relief for everyone. A recurring theme was the importance of working closely with doctors and specialists to find the right treatment combination, as managing these symptoms often requires patience and trial and error.

Hi Kelly, and thanks, I’ll ask my Dr about it. 😊🙏

I have those symptoms, but they are attributed to Sjogren's disease. I'm on a combo of duloxetine (Cymbalta) and pregabalin (Lyrica) that is quite effective. My husband also has severe neuropathy due to post laminectomy syndrome after a series of major spine surgeries. He sees a pain specialist. ALA with B1 was suggested as an addition to his other medications. He said that much to his surprise it has helped.

I have Crest Syndrome, which is a form of scleroderma. I get the pins and needles effect in my hands and feet.
