Last night I kept waking up because my hand would be completely numb and hurting! I have no idea why it was numb, whether it was b/c I was sleeping on it funny or not, but it was weird. Does this happen to anyone else? This seems to happen to me quite frequently and I don't even have to be sleeping on it. Or at least I'm not when I wake up ;) Also, it doesn't take much for my feet to fall asleep. If I'm crossing my legs, in about 5 minutes, if I don't uncross them, my feet will fall asleep...and I can't sit, as we say at school, "criss cross apple sauce" then my feet will definitely go numb! it's annoying...

" I wake up and have to shake my arm for a couple minites to get feeling back. Plus I have had tingling in both hands and feet for over ten years. My touch sensory is about as good as wearing latex gloves 3 sizes to small and trying to feel things. Have to pull everything out of pocketjust to see what is in pocket.
Just another day in paridize but I'm on the rite side of the grass still. "
