RE: New symptoms- Please read.- Teri

[Guest guest]

Well, I strongly suspect I do have some problems in the cervical vertebrae.  I

just have not had it checked because of the lack of insurance.  Yep, I get

numbness and tingling in the fingertips.  It only happens maybe once a day and

last for a few minutes and is gone.  I also have constant neck and upper back

pain and tension.  Wierd though that I never have the numbness or tingling in my

arms.

Debra,

Not sure about the veins - but would the thing with your wrist and hand have

anything to do with maybe a pinched nerve in your neck? I've been told by

doctors that your hands can be affected by different nerves in your neck

that control your arms and hands. Had any neck problems? Or what about the

tips of your fingers tingling?

New symptoms- Please read. What the heck????

I just thought I would share with you some things that have been going on.

The very WIERDEST is that the other day at work I was writing with an ink

pen and my right wrist decided it would jerk involuntarily and an ink line

went across the paper. It was so strange. It just had a involuntary movement

of some kind. I believe I have had similar things happen in the past when I

would drop something. I was never sure but it seemed like my hand or arm

would just fling something out of my hand.

Ok and the electric shocks are back in my hands. At times when I am doing

something or grabbing an object, my hand will get an electrical shock

sensation and it HURTS.. feels like I just put my hand in a light socket???

It just goes through like lightening for a second or so and goes away.

Also... something about my back. I have some veins in my lower back that

look like varicose veins and my lower back has been KILLING me especially at

work. I had some of the nurse aids and another nurse look at it and they

said " damn, you have a big old vein popping out of your back " .

I don't think that is fibro. But I don't know what to make of it.

love and hugs,

Debra V.
