Re: [ ] Digest Number 5295

Hi :

Basically, it was a tingling and numbness sensation

that began in my fingers, then went up into my hands

and wrists, and then began in my toes and feet. There

was no burning, but it just felt strange. After a

month of this, and reading up on Arava and it's

sometimes causing PN, I spoke to my doctor about it,

and we decided to discontinue the Arava. After about

6 months, it gradually disappeared, but in the last

year or so I still have it from time to time, not as

much, and feel it it because of joint swelling from

the RA causing pressure on nerves in my wrists and

ankles. Hope this helps -

Don't you love the way we can see something in someone

else's post that relates to us? I do - this group is

great. I had the tingling on and off, but it began to

bother me when it became more noticeable, and more

constant a sensation. You might ask your doctor about

it re the Arava. I have heard, though, that we RA

guys also get it because of the disease itself, and

that is what happens to me now from time to time. But

do bring it up with your doctor.
