Did anyone notice Tingling or Pins and Needles (parasthesia) in the feet or hands after starting Estrogen?

Sorry, I've only felt that in my boobs. I hope you are able to figure this out. Consider a visit to your doctor perhaps.

Hugs and smiles, Jessica

I'm not on HRT yet. But that feeling is usually caused by pinched nerves right?

One of my biggest concerns(because I think I have poor natural circulation) is the increased risk of blood clotting on HRT. This may not be that, but the same thing that causes it could be pinching other parts of your body. Especially when thinking about how our muscles go through atrophy and skin shrinks, too.

I sometimes feel it, but hadn't made the association with HRT.

Thanks all. Well they did warn me that Estrogen is assoicated with insulin resistance (diabetes). So I'm a bit worried about this.

Anyone get diabetes, or have increased problems on HRT?

Thanks
