Newbie here. Anyway, I'm an alcoholic who is going on my third week of sobriety. This is the longest stent i've had in 10 years. Man, what respect I have for everyone working on recovery. I'm on week three and still feel like crap. I've had all kinds of symptoms but none more bothersome than the pins and needles/cramping sensation all over my body. The onset occurred about three days after I quit so I don't think it's alcohol induced peripheral neuropathy. That said, i googled the way i'm feeling an of course the internet has me thinking its MS or some other neurologic disease. Has anyone else experienced this? *I checked the FAQ on this page and it didn't populate any results*
Now the mystery gets weird. I had the exact symptoms you describe while I was drinking heavily about a year ago. Ofcourse I went to Dr. Google. Scared myself s**tress....continued drinking heavily so in no shape to see my Dr. Can't recall how long these nueorological oddities went on. I suspect a couple of months. Then one day they were gone never to return. But it's weird cuz yours happened in withdrawal and mine while drinking. I do hope you see your Dr. and keep posting. We need an answer to this mystery and you need medical attention. Congrats on your sobriety and best of luck at doctors.
