Hello All,

I have been waking up with numbess on certain body parts (depending on how I sleep I think). I've had it on the top of my head (numbskull :-)), a lot of times on my arms near my elbows and one time all the way down the side I was laying on. I was wondering if any of you have had this issue and have you had any treatment for it?

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Very often. It also happens from typing, from talking on the phone (holding the phone that is), and my legs from chairs.

If I ever go to a neurologist, he's gonna be thrilled to watch his financial portfolio grow just by my visits.

Honestly I toss and turn often at night just to prevent the dead limb issue. Good times, I tell ya!

I feel numbness in my arms, and my hands. I figuered it was the way I sleep (on my side).

But, I also get numbness in my knees/legs when I bend (squat). I also can't get back up anymore (just occured recently).This really concerns me. I'm going to ask my doctor about it.

Hope you had a good day!

I believe that's a fairly common problem with us. We tend to have poorer circulation than most people. Just to be on the safe side, I would discuss it with your doc the next chance you get. Hugs GB

Thank you all for the replys. I guess it's just one more fibro aspect to enjoy. :-)

I hope you are all waking up feeling refreshed and pain free!
