Anyone ever have tingling/numbness in their hands and feet for more than a day?

there are medications that cause that symptom Jeff.    Actually there is a whole host of things it could be from lack of certain vitamins to forms of neuropathy to different antibiotics and other medications.

Walmart makes a glucose meter that is inexpensive...  that would be my first check.....   alcohol abuse can cause the same thing, but I would assume you would know if that's a problem.

infections can also cause that problem.

Yeah, I think the antifungal medication I got or the doctor gave me may have done something. It's so rare that I use a medication... I shouldn't bother.

Disaster happened the last time, some years ago.

Glucose meter sounds good- my family I visit on weekends should have one.  I have a glass of wine once in a while, but no abuse.

Infection from toenail issues was a thought (why I got the medication, possible numbness, etc).

Thanks for all the insights. Hopefully things look up from here.

Originally posted in Worthy Gold topic.

Started w/left foot. Now a few days of the right thumb. Left forearm & right foot today.

Did some online research. Maybe it's a vitamin deficiency or pinched nerves. Hopefully not something permanent.

Went to the medical center. They wanted paperwork & more visits for more money.

The paperwork got them to take away my mom's medical insurance (don't even live w/her). She has diabetes & have read up on this a bit.

Doctor didn't help. Got medications I haven't used much that have nothing to do w/the current problem.

I don't want to go back to that medical center again.

Praying it goes away on its own. Maybe less bread will help (though it's organic & gluten-free, since it's still carbs).

A simple solution would be amazing. And/or medical insurance. Or at least a doctor willing to help.

Do you do a lot of physical work? Do you have a house with a garden? I have the same problem sometimes but I know that a lot of physical activity may be the answer. In my case there was numbness at night and I woke up. One doctor here said that one is to keep his/her feet and hands warm. Never rinse anything in room temperature water. May be that would help.

Any vaccinations or tetanus shots this year?

I am going on 58 and have never received a flu shot in my life. I am type two diabetic and experience numbness at the bottom of my feet, I am not on any medication, my sugar intake needs to be low. :)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I do art on paper/PC, nannying & lots of dishwashing. No garden. Am taking B-12 now.

Seems it's still numb. Getting an ergonomic mousepad.

I wonder if anyone's ever had numbness go away?

I had an overuse injury to the thumb 19 years ago, but the pain went  away after a while.

Since I'm 44 (though I feel a lot older w/chronic palate nerve pain & this)- maybe there's hope for recovery.
