The pins and needles and the 'stretchy feeling' you describe sounds more like circulation problems to me, but I ain't no doctor! But I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I have been tested for thyroid disorder(not sure its neurological) but havent got the results back!
My first Neuro kept asking me if i had any neurological disorders in my family if i ever had hit my head etc!I told her no!I dont know why she was asking me this ..Yet she reffered me to another neurologist in the institute of genetics ..I dont know why ,should i worry?Do they ask this things normally?And what does no objective findings mean?
Thank you
pen!
I agree with jensequitur,
Anytime I get hot I have to sit or lay down or I will fall down. I use to take hot baths and showers and when everything started that came to a stop. Not I just add enough hot water to take the edge off the cold.
Have you been checked for other neurological dissorders besides reumatoid arthritis?

Thank you very much for your answers.I just related it to MS since i also have headaches (migraines mostly in one side) and sometimes ear fullnes and jaw pain andd paresthesias in back!But when i have stiffnes a hot bath helps me relax...
If you dont mind me asking do ypu know what else this could be..I know you are not a doctor but any suggestions would be helpful!
Thank you:)

It actually doesn't sound like MS - if heat makes you feel better overall, it's a sign that you don't have neurological damage. When I get hot, or take a hot bath, I get fatigued and dizzy, and have to go take a nap. It usually takes about three hours before I feel better.
