are you sure that parasthesias are a disorder of the central nervous system? Seems unsupported by evidence - more inclined to think that at lvhne cases are peripheral disorders only. For example, the next sentence suggests some cases are caused by reduced blood flow to the limbs - how does this relate to the central nervous system? Sethk (talk · contribs)

I agree with you there. The page is low on sources anyway, but paraesthesia can be of both central and peripheral nervous system origin. Remember that the spinal cord counts as CNS. JFW | T@lk 15:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I have Fibromyalgia which is a disorder of the central nervous system and it does cause paresthesia . Dragonfaire 14:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Exposure to certain chemicals like vinyl chloride can also cause nerve damage that leads to paresthesia (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp20.pdf page 15) (Walker.nate 05:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC))

I agree the paragraph added in rev 193571778 is dreadful: it barely parses and has little to no scientific value. I don't see the point of an undo war over it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.133.135.30 (talk) 08:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The paragraph looks like a home remedy, especially since it gives no source. 130.237.11.143 (talk) 12:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
