Anyone remember this old song, “Needles and Pins”? Here’s
The Searchers’ version from 1964:
OK, that was fun for a moment. But that’s not the sort of
pins and needles that come with multiple sclerosis. Those needles and pins are
no fun at all. They’re downright irritating.
These are the electric, prickly, tingling pains that crop up
in various body parts. Maybe they go away after a while. Maybe they stick
around and keep on zapping the MSer. It’s sort of the feeling anyone
experiences after sitting on one foot too long, only to find it’s numb upon
standing up. Then it tingles, perhaps painfully.
But MS pins and needles are sudden and unexpected and virtually
inexplicable. It’s a thorny symptom of this wacky neurological disease.
