Question 1

what are the causes of sudden tingling in all extremities all at once?

Accepted Answer

Many causes.: There are many potential causes, including, but not limited to, anxiety, hyperventilation, low blood pressure, low body temperature, diabetes and some neurologic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis.  In view of the wide spectrum and variable possible treatments, a visit to ones doctor would be helpful.

Question 2

is it possible to have celiacs disease with negative blood work. i have lost 30lbs, tired, tingling in all extremities at 21 years old. ?

Accepted Answer

Possible but: unusual to have negative blood responses unless the test used to confirm it was IgA tTG when you have a deficiency of IgA in the blood.  The gold standard is a small bowel biopsy showing specific changes.  I hope you are under the care of a gastroenterologist.

Question 3

is it possible that a pinched nerve in my neck or back could cause tingling in all my extremities? other causes?

Accepted Answer

Possible if a large : Enough herniated disc or small enough spinal canal or a combination of both in the cervical or neck region of the spine causing not just a pinched nerve but a pinching or compression of the spinal cord which is called a myleopathy .  Other causes can be non spinal as well such as certain vitamin deficiencies, diabetes etc.  See your doctor if these persist.

Question 5

ive had 24/7 twitching in my left piriformis w/ tingling/ numbness/ fatigue in all extremities for 4 months. an mri showed disc protrusion in l3-l4/ l4-l5 & abutment on exiting nerve root. could symptoms be related to this or possibly ms?

Accepted Answer

Anything is possible: Your piriformis symptoms would be an uncommon presentation of MS.  More likely is involvement from the nerves in the lower back, or locally in the piriformis muscle.  A more thorough history and physical exam are necessary to see if the MRI findings actually correlate to your symptoms.  General fatigue and four extremity numbness/tingling can be many things, but are not likely from the lower back.

Question 6

what type(s) of food can cause tingling prickliness and itching in the extremities?

Accepted Answer

Allergens: Any food you are allergic too. Common foods are wheat, eggs, peanuts and other tree nuts, shellfish, strawberries. I knew a patient allergic to papaya who would break out in hives after eating it. Try and figure out what you ate that may have caused a reaction and take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or another antihistamine to see if that will help.

Question 7

what can cause intermittent tingling sensations in the extremities?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: There is an enormous  list of possibilities as to what could cause this. Some of these things are totally harmless and other things are more serious. Your best bet is to see either a primary care physician or a neurologist to explore the possibility of work up and then treatment if necessary.  Good luck!

Question 8

why does drinking milk cause tingling all over my extremities?

Accepted Answer

Allergy?: You may have a food allergy to the protein content of the milk.  Your physician can tell you more with testing and a closer look at your diet and the timing of your symptoms.

Question 9

what could be the cause of sudden numbness and or tingling in limbs?

Accepted Answer

Limb numbness: It will help if you specify whether this is only in 1 limb, only upper or lower limbs, or all limbs. If the numbness/tingling is sudden and in all 4 limbs, then the most likely cause is either hyperventilation or simple anxiety, which may however be severe. Symptoms in 1 limb could be a stroke, nerve injury, or vascular problem. In the upper or lower limbs this could be a spinal nerve problem.

Question 10
