Re: MIckey-- Numbness and tingling -To

April 11, 2008

It is a possibility. You are right. The strangest thing is ... it will go for

days or weeks without happening at all, then it will just hit out of the blue.

It never lasts long so that is a plus. It normally happens for a few minutes

and then it will stop.

Thanks,

love and hugs,

I do not have carpal tunnel and I do not have Raynaud's. My fingers just go numb

sometimes for no reason. I know it is not carpal tunnel because I was checked

for it. (I thought that is what it was for years until the fibro go bad and I

was diagnosed). I do not have Raynauds either because there is absolutely no

color change or temp changes in my hands and it happens regardless of cold or

warm weather. It is part of the Fibromyalgia in my case. I will also mention

that alot of people here have numbness and tingling of other areas of the body

that comes and goes with no explanation.

Re: MIckey

The PA-C said she'd tested for it on the last six blood tests,and if she

couldn't find it..I didn't have it..her words. Very arrogant woman. Believes her

own press. Blah

She works for a doctor who is 71 who should not be practicing..he has as bad a

short term memory as I do due to a major auto accident almost 20 years ago. He

lets her roam free.

My rheumatologist..a very good doctor..found it first test..she did not have me

on an anti-inflammatory..I was on low power darvocet..

Nov.05 I began a hellish journey with a viral infection she refused to

treat..says I can't..bulloney..a friend of mine had the same V.I. and he

still..wound up paralyzed. Attacked his nervous system and spinal area. I am

lucky..I just wound up with short-term memory loss..a chunk of long term memory

gone..vertigo..and..the fibromyalgia. Lovely..I left her in July 06..I didn't

get over this infection til around September that year.

My rheumatologist hates this PA-C..he found out..she had never given me a 24

hour urine collection..he said should be every year..the last urinalysis I had

to think about..I use word-association as I forget words even..I recalled it was

when my sister was in the nursing home..I said 2000. He almost growled. He said

this should happen 2-3 times a year!

Neuropathy is numbness in hands and feet..it..kills the nerves..my hands are

detiorating because of it. People say Oh..you have diabetes??? Noooo...

Deb,

Did you see my email about neuropathy? It's very common with fibro and can come

and go for no reason. I agree with you that it is not Raynaud's. It is most

likely is some type of neuropathy. Do you just have numbness or do you have

pain with it?

You need to feel sorry for you sister's boss. Someone who is ignorant and

arrogant about his beliefs truly needs to be pitied. He is close-minded and has

no empathy. Plus, someone who would disrespect his employee's sister in such a

cold way can't be happy. Just imagine how he treats his wife and kids. I'm

sure he is not respected by others and most probably despise him. Don't let

someone like that hurt your feelings. He's the one that needs help and will

probably die a lonely old man. If he brings it up, tell him you won't discuss

your illness with close-minded people and question his ethics on disrespecting

his employee's sister regardless of his beliefs. Tact and respect is vital in a

work environment and remind him that his is lacking. Turn it around on

him.....you don't need to waste your precious energy trying to convince a moron

fibro is real.
