Severe Numbess, Tingling, Burning & Pricking sensations...
Hi i'm a 27 year old male, weighing about 80 KG. Habits include pretty heavy smoking (1packet) a day & social drinking......
Over the past 2 weeks i've been experiencing symptoms of tingling, numbness, pricking & burning sensation in the palms & especially the feet. Also there is sudden numbness in sitting postures (especially when i'm in air conditioning or the restroom) & pin pricking feelings with slight pain on & off....Must say that the symptoms are very much less - nil when i'm active , but much more when i'm idling, lying down or sitting down on the couch watching TV...during the evenings....
Does this sound like peripheral neuropathy or some associated condition....
Now i'm also on the HIV prevention forum since i had a possible risk about 8 weeks ago.....my 3 week HIV DNA PCR & 6 week Elisa tests were negative.....& i'm still waiting for the 3 month mark to test out conclusively....
1. Could these symptoms be associated to HIV as in neurological symptoms observed in early HIV infection.
2. Could they because of stress & smoking as both are on the rise as i've been generally stressed out at work & the HIV fear has got me stressed & worried too.
3. Could these be symptoms caused because of any other conditions that may be prevalent in my body or because of any habits or external factors...???
I'm not aware of the symptoms observed in early HIV & ofcourse the HIV forum is not really a fan of discussing symptoms coz theer may be so many of them & they may still mean nothing, but are these sort of tingling, numb & pricking feelings observed in people who are infected......with HIV & are in the early phase... I'm anxiety is really on the rise day by day as i wait for my final test......& i really need some help to bottle it!!
Please advise!!!
