About 2 weeks ago I started noticing "pings" in my toes. Gradually that spread to pins and needles, numbness, itching and then to my hands, and arms. It's not painful, it's annoying. It's going on all day but it's not constant through out the day. Yesterday it was both ring fingers and pinkies and moving all over from toes to bottom of feet to top etc. Today it's mostly the pinkies feeling numb but my arms and legs, back, stomach etc are all itchy. No dry skin, no rash. No other obvious symptoms.

I am a 45 year old female with HBP and have been on Lisinopril, Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide for 2 years. 2 years ago when we were trying out different meds I had a bad reaction when I was put on a higher dose of the water pill - arm and leg numbness and tingling and the same on my chin and lips. They knocked me down (12.5mg) and that went away. This somewhat feels the same but not as bad as that was.

I went to the Dr yesterday and he ordered a ton of blood work that I won't be able to get drawn until Saturday morning. Said it could be vitamin deficiency, Lymes Disease, caused by diabetes(not diagnosed - yet anyway) maybe B12 but he fears it's more "neuro" whatever that means. I have to go see a Neuro for a Emg which he said was painful(great) but I called today and that soonest appt I could get was 2 months from now.

I am so frustrated not knowing what this could be. I know maybe I'll get answers next week from bloodwork but just wondering what the possibilities or probabilities are based on other's experiences.

HELP - :*(
