What Causes Tingling Sensation In Hands, Feet And Head?

I have been having tingling in my hands, feet and face/head. I experienced the same thing about 5 days ago. I have recently been exposed to Hand Foot and Mouth (one son and my husband got it). I do not feel sick or have any blisters. Could I be coming down with it or is this tingling likely unrelated and I should explore potential vitamin deficiencies or other problems?

Radiologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It appears that there might be a condition involving the nervous system in your body. The above symptoms like tingling are associated with conditions of nerves affected in various regions. This can be due to an acute cause or due to chronic problems like neuropathy associated with diabetes or auto immune disorders. History of any other medical conditions and medications that you are taking is important. Vitamin deficiency states can also appear as non specific symptoms as described by you. Please consult a neurologist and get a complete neurological examination done. Investigations like MRI scan brain and spinal cord might also be required for you. Treatment is after confirming diagnosis. Please do not worry.
