new to group, painful tingling

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I have had RA since January 2003 and has so far affected my

wrists, arms, elbows and feet and ankles. I am currently on

Humira and have had good success on it. These past few days I

have developed painful tingling in my hands and feet, mostly my

hands. They are red and slightly swollen and I have been icing

them. Sometimes sleeping is difficult. My Rheumatologist is

great but he has been very ill himself and I have had to deal with

a covering doctor. Is this tingling " RA related " ? I have never had

it before. I have never had RA in hands. I have been blessed

with no real lasting damage since I was fortunate enough to be

on TNF blockers.

Thanks,

It probably is. Have they sent you to a neurologist yet? If not, that may be the next plaace to go. I know I especially get it in the middle finger of my left hand and it wakes me at night and hurts like hell. Sort of like a bee is inside, repeatedly stinging in the same spot. Sorry to hear you're going through all of this! God bless~ <catdelouise@...> wrote:
