-Abnormal sensations such as prickling, tingling, itching, burning or cold, skin crawling or impaired sensations--are all called [[http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/paresthesias.htm|parasthesia]]. These symptoms usually arise from nerve damage (neuropathy). Continued nerve damage can lead to numbness (lost of sensation) or paralysis (loss of movement and sensation).+Abnormal sensations such as prickling, tingling, itching, burning or cold, skin crawling or impaired sensations--are all called [[https://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/paresthesias.htm|parasthesia]].

 Neuropathy can result in muscle weakness if it causes reduced nervous stimulation to the muscles. This can occur in any muscle including chest muscles (making breathing difficult) or in the lower extremities (resulting in atrophy and difficulty walking). Neuropathy can result in muscle weakness if it causes reduced nervous stimulation to the muscles.

-There are many causes of peripheral neuropathy. It is a fairly common symptom of Th1 diseases (autoimmune diseases such as lupus and sarcoidosis) and indicates inflammation of the nervous system. Irritation to the nerve can also come from inflammation to the surrounding tissue (such as Rheumatoid Arthritis).+There are many causes of peripheral neuropathy  (({{pmid>long:28983799}})).

 Impaired function and symptoms depend on the type of nerves -- motor, sensory, or autonomic -- that are damaged.  Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations, sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. Others may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. Impaired function and symptoms depend on the type of nerves -- motor, sensory, or autonomic -- that are damaged.  Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations, sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness.
