My fingers are numb.

Whatever have you been doing with them?

Nothing, which is the scary part. They do this about once a day.

That is scary. Out of curiousity, have you done anything interesting with your arm or shoulder? Sometimes (under certain conditions) you can pinch a nerve in your shoulder or make something twitchy in your lower arm that will cause finger numbness. It happens to me sometimes, but it's not serious.

However, if it's frequent, you should have it checked.

No, I haven't done anything to injure it. It happens in both hands. It seems to be vascular since they get cold and turn white when it happens. I know I should have it seen about but I hate going to the doctor.

I dislike going to doctors myself, but I almost killed myself with avoiding it and ended up far more ill than I needed to (a nice 2 week stay in the hospital). Don't wait. It might well be something simple that can be remedied.

I get so overwhelmed with the whole medical thing that I have to take my husband with me or I don't ask any questions or anything. (I'm improving on this front, but it's slow). So, if you are uncomfortable, take someone you trust with you, or take a list of questions you want answered and use it.

I know what you mean. It can be so confusing at times. It usually happens at night or in the mornings so the office isn't open to make an appointment Then I forget about it until it happens again.

Right now, they're fine. It doesn't last long. I hope you're doing okay now.

Oh, thank you. This was some years ago, with a pissy pancreas. I'm all better now, but 3 months of stubbornness (much like yours, attacks would come at odd hours, or they'd go away and I'd just forget about it) put me right where I didn't want to be. I did the same thing when I had a miscarriage a couple years ago, which made for an interesting night in the ER.

You'd think I've have learned ;> Actually, I was convinced a little faster the second time! I soooo dislike the whole medical thing.

It really might be something simple and easy. You might be able to go to a massage therapist for treatment (and what would be bad about that?) or find some other alternative treatment with which you might feel more comfortable. But don't let it wait around too long, because what ever it is, it most likely won't magically go away on its own.

And don't let a feear of being told "it's all in your head" or "it's nothing" make you reluctant to go (that's my demon). It's YOUR discomfort. Find a medical person who will listen to you and take you seriously until you get relief.

I should go. I guess I can work it in. I'm glad your pissy pancreas has straightened up.

One question for you. Have you really read all these books? Mal's Treasure Trove

I've just come to the realization of how much I've missed. Specifically, around here. I've missed the Coming Together books. I've missed get to gethers. I've missed new people joining, and I've missed good friends leaving.

This is bothering me now for one reason; I care. I never cared before. I didn't really want to be a big part of this community. Yet, the more I realize how much I haven't been a part of, the sadder I get. The group here is some of the best people that I know of. The AH may not always agree entirely, but it really is a family. I feel like I've shut out part of my family, and I don't like that. I can't say that I can be there for all the events and special ocassions. No one can. But I can give a damn. That's what I'm going to do. Because I want to.
