If you are female and are pregnant, tingling and numbness, and occasionally weakness in your hands and feet, similar to pins and needles can occur in late pregnancy. This sensation of pins and needles in your hands is known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is due to excess fluid being present in the tissues in your wrist compressing the median nerve. The tingling sensation will affect all fingers except the little one. Lying on your side may help or you may get some relief by raising your arms above your head and moving your fingers around. The condition usually resolves itself completely soon after delivery.
Do you take Tamoxifen to keep breast cancer from returning? Tamoxifen causes itching and a feeling of pins and needles.
Ciguatera poisoning or ciguatera is caused by eating contaminated tropical reef fish. Common nonspecific symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, excessive sweating, headache, and muscle aches. The sensation of burning or "pins-and-needles," weakness, itching, and dizziness can occur.
Paresthesia is a term that refers to an abnormal burning or prickling sensation which is generally felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but may occur in any part of the body. The sensation, which arises spontaneously without apparent stimulus and is usually not painful, may also be described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, buzzing, or itching. Most people have experienced transient (temporary) paresthesia at some time in their lives; it occurs whenever inadvertent pressure is placed on a nerve and causes what many describe as a "pins and needles" feeling. The feeling quickly goes away once the pressure is relieved. For some people, however, paresthesia can become a chronic condition caused by an underlying disorder.
There are a great variety of reasons for the ‘pins and needles’ sensation. You would be advised to consult your doctor if the symptoms continue.
Hope this helps

I have read your other questions. I have autonomic neuropathy and don't think your symptoms sound like that. They sound more like celiac disease to me. Celiac disease is known for very itchy skin and diarrhea. I would highly recommend getting a referral to a gastroenterologist, as this kind of specialist will be helpful in diagnosing any disease with symptoms like the crampy diarrhea. Neuropathy causes some tingling, but a lot of achy pain also and very painful cramps in muscles, especially in legs and into the back. It becomes difficult to walk. Also, instead of diarrhea, constipation is the problem, as when the nerves stop working they don't signal the bowels to move and things just get blocked up (thank God for medication).
See the link below for more info on Celiac disease - also, Mayo Clinic site is a good one for looking up symptoms, etc.

The problem can be easily treated if you follow your instinct: turn off the PC and go somewhere else until you have some thing really important to do with your PC.

Pins, needles and itchiness are not usually related to cancer or HIV. It sounds more like an allergic reation, but you should follow up with your doctor for a diagnosis.
