Re: numbness in fingers at night

I had your problem regularly before I started Enbrel.  Had two of those electric

conduction needle tests and the bottom line was that inflammation in my neck was

the problem.  Try different sleep positions for your head and neck though

hopefully if you can get into remission without any inflammation the problem

will solve itself.

My first thought was carpal tunnel. I have it and that's exactly how it

feels, especially when I spend a good bit of the day writing.

I had to quit Enbrel due to neuropathy. What you have going on sounds nothing

like what happened for me. After taking it for more than a year, the neuropathy

with the Enbrel steadily got worse over a period of months. It got so bad, in

fact, that I couldn't remember my wife's (of 20 years) name. I couldn't control

my motor functions (walked into walls, pissed my pants, etc.) with some tingling

numbness but with pain (mostly in my hands and feet but also in my larger

muscles increasing to a pretty constant 8.5 to 9 out of 10. There was so much

pain that I couldn't quite tell where it was coming from. It seemed the only

time I slept was when I passed out for an hour or so from pain-induced fatigue.

Luckily, most of my neurons recovered when I got off of the stuff, though they

are more fragile/less resilient now. Hope that helps.
