Good questions. I know this because I have it along with my neuropathy. Otherwise I would be clueless about medical info, too. My wife, however, can spout medical stuff sometimes without thinking. So come on, we all have different learning curves and perspectives.

Heartland Old Guy, it can also move to your legs, arms and any other area in your body. I know because I have it. This question is not fully correct.

Technically, pins and needles sensations are dysesthesiad. Parasthesias are sensations that feel different than expected, e.g. feeling shooting pain when stimulated with light touch.

Player #30304651, OMW, what an awful thing to have to live with. How does your head "go to sleep" as would your hand or foot?

Good question but check spellings please, "Drowsiness" is spelt wrong and there are two different versions of "Paraesthesia" used. I've used the UK version but US English may be different.

PointyDormouse60089, The cause is 2 fold...movement causing friction is the lesser of the causes...sweat and urine are the door cause. minor changes in position of the person can help immensely! keeping the affected area clean and dry is the best way to avoind the ulcers... I hope that helps.

PointyDormouse60089, b/c decubitus is referring to the skin! one (ulcers) happens when a comatose or paralyzed patient isn't turned enough. The pressure from laying in one position causes cers on the skin!
