Pins and needle feeling in different areas of body

For the past couple of months, I have been experiencing feeling of pins and needles on different areas of body.  It does not feel like when your hand or leg falls asleep, but instead like someone taking a needle and just pinching you with it.  It can be in my arms, legs, stomach, hands, anywhere.  When it happens I feel like I need to scratch it or rub it.  I'm very concerned because I don't know if it is pinched nerves, allergy or something else.  It does not happen everyday but happening more and more.  Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Hello , i would very appreciate if someone can help me in this case.

My sister had a solurium few months ago for 10 times, right after the last session she was started skin rashes and ichines in her body especially legs and arms. After two weeks rashes has gone and needling and pining started on arms and legs which could let her to sleep. She has done all the tests for blood , MRI , x ray and given different medicines by neurologists. That made her better at first weeks but she got worser after using medicines such as gabapentine other types of  anti epileptic medicines, pain killers and ect. All of her test were clear no signs of diabetes ms , auto immuno problems have been found. She stop using all the medicines but she keeps feeling worst and worst with needle and pinning problems spread all over her body and now in her face. She went Dr s in Australia and Sweden no one can help her . All she got after using any medicine her symptoms got worser and worser. Can any one help / recommend anything in this situation ? Thanks

READ MY COMMENT I HAVE SOLUTION!!! SOLUTION HERE

I am having this problem since last 6 years. It start in winter and go away itself in summer. Yes i have anxiety and it make it worse. I feel pinch all over my body, my legs, arms, stomach, back, face, skull everywhere and some time it is such bad that it give me red dot all over my hand, forehead, thighs but these red dots disappear itself after few minutes after cooling down my body. Whenever my body start warming up or heating then these painful pinch start on my body and i feel heating sensation i have to run in cold place to get some relief, When someone insult me or i feel embrace or excited whatever activity which make my body to get warm then this painful pinch start on every part of my body. I can't even run in winter because of fear of this. Even when i sleep i wake up in middle of night getting pinch all over my body and i run for cold water.

But I have it SOLUTION OR CURE i have checked many doctors, Some medicine give me a little relief but failed to stop it permanently. Only one solution i found is EXERCISE and SWEAT every day in WINTER. I see that if i keep doing EXERCISE in winter and get daily sweat then these pinch(allergy) do not occur in whole day. You can read other forum where people have get big relief after sweating in winter every day. I know its hard to sweat in winter but you have to sweat just wear clothes and wrap your body. It will be painful in starting but it wroth doing it. In starting days you will get pinch on your body after few days you will notice that these pinch are getting low and low and will disappear 99%.

I suggest you to start immediately doing every day exercise in winter whenever this allergy start, I live in INDIA and winter start from Nov to March and i start getting this allergy in the middle of October and then i knew its time to do exercise every day and sweat. I daily run for 2KM+ to sweat and in the starting of it i feel a little pinch over my body while warming up my body but after getting some sweat all pinch stop and i become completely free of it and can run without any pain. I found after getting sweat this allergy do not occur whole day. I run in evening time because i can't wake up in morning in winter because its too cold. After sweating every day then you can go in sun light, get your body warm, do parties, hang out with friends and this pinch will not return . I know this allergy is so painful and even some of you who are reading my this comment would be getting pinch on his/her body because you might excited that i found it solution.

I do not like writing comment doing comment on internet but i want to help other people who are suffering from this problem so i wrote this long comment.

I am going to post my this comment on every forum where people are looking solution for it.

English is not my first language pardon me if you did not understand what i wrote.

Thanks

Pin pricks are obviously a sensation which is carried by the nerves to the brain.  There are probably many different causes of pin pricks sensations.  Acute gas poisioning  can cause this sensation.  I do not know that it can cause chronic sensations, but can you link your sensations to any of the following:
heavy low  lying gases (near the floor) or in the basement?
poorly adjusted furnace or improperly installed or improperly installed burners?
does your sensation coordinate with swings in weather as respiratioon of underground gases follows highs and lows of atmospheric pressure?
Is your house constructed so it is very tight, doesn't leak air?
Have you had the furnace or water heater adjusted recently?
has your blood been checked for carbon monoxide?
is your home built over mines or garbage dump?
let me know if this helps.  best wishes.  fred
