Re: numbness and tingling(Becky)

Hi ;-)! What are you doing at 3pm everyday? Sounds like a pinched nerve,

maybe? How long does it last? Did you notice the arm and leg at the same time?

Just wondering! (Va.)

It usually last for about a 1/2 hour and it comes in wave. It really doesn't

seem to matter what I'm doing. I just get a headache, little bit dizzy and

then the waves start shooting down my arms and out my finger tips. Then it

totally goes away. *shrug*

Gotta be unique. ;-)

Thanks to everyone else that responded!!!

I'm 30...just turned that a couple weeks ago. :-) Never known to have

problems with my heart and my blood pressure is always good...typically around

100/60. I have had things checked from time to time just ruling it out from

other

things. I don't have diabetes. I was having severe issues with my blood sugars

going down in the 50s and 60s, but sorted that out to my antidepressant and

I'm currently off that and doing fine. Blood sugars are settling back down to

normal. I do take some iron...what you get in a multivitamin. I do get anemic

from time to time, but that was in the " normal range " last visit with my rhuemy.

My one friend suggested my thyroid. There is a family history of that and I

have had it checked several times, but it's been normal. Supposed to be

between .5 and 9 and mine was 1.2 or something like that.

Thanks for the help..this is just a really funky feeling.

Smile,

Becky

Hi Becky, I had lots of thyroid like symptoms about 2 years before my bloodwork

showed that I needed synthroid...if you have a history, its worth having it

checked every few months. I've had some luck in the last few months with the

fatigue as we are treating the thyroid problem more aggressively...
