Hi,
Does anyone else have issues with their legs. I thought my leg issues were due to the fact I'm so out of condition (mostly in bed or recliner), but lately I'm not so sure. It's like the muscle action is not "smooth" like when I walk or move its slightly jerky (not enough that people can really notice, but enough that I can feel it)? Plus they've been tingling a lot lately (more so after I overdid it with the essential oils, haha).
Do nerves tingle when they're dieing but also when they're regenerating (I had Botox for migraines and areas that were injected in my head are also tingling)?

I've experienced the jerkiness/disruption of gait. I believe this is "just" one of the many neurological symptoms associated with lyme.

As for the tingling, I have not experienced that particular symptom. However, I do know that it's true that tingling can occur when nerves are regenerating. My major experience with tingling has been when I've gotten gluten exposure (gluten intolerance/possible celiac is what I identified first in this medical process). That tingling "shakes out" -- once I mobilize my arm/hand, it goes away. Is that what happens to you? That is an important aspect to communicate to your doctor.

I would also evaluate your B12 - if you're taking too much, that can also cause tingling.

Hope this info helps!

Hi Prairiegirl,

 

I'm with Yelloworange on the B12. I've found it to be helpful with the tingling feeling.

 

Do you do B12 injections?

I do take b12 sublingual. But, I'm wondering if its more of a magnesium issue?

B12 would be more likely to help than magnesium because it's a nerve-related issue stemming from the spine.

I get the tingling in my legs every day along with them feeling heavy and tight. Burning sometimes too.
