At first I was waking up with my right thumb numb...I thought it was because I was a side sleeper and sleep with my arms under my pillow. Then it started to spread to the other fingers on my hand, and soon after, my other hand. The pain had really become unbearable, so I went to the doctor and she diagnosed me with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I have an appointment on Feb. 14,2012 for and EMG test...I guess it's a nerve test to find out if you do have CTS or not. I have also been on Adderall since last March, and I've been hearing that that may be the cause of it. I've been taking Ritalin this month because Adderall is too hard to find. So now it's just a wait and wonder pain game. I have been having pins & needles, numbness and pain in my fingers and hands so badly that I quit my job.

I have seen two neurologists and have had nerve tests and mri's and no one can tell me what is wrong with me. I have became very depressed over this. I feel no one believes me and they all think that I am crazy.

I also have tingling and numbness and swelling all over my body, but mainly in my hands. It can be annoying at times. I have been trying to diagnose it myself for awhile now and I too, don't want to keep paying to see the doctors and not getting the answers. I would like to know what it could be or if it could be from the material I have been reading could be Diabetes? If you could help me settle my mind would be good. Thanks Judy Hi

Can't also sit for long esp. without soft pillow to sit on, find it very difficult to manually sew my clothes. I am past 60 years old.

I have to force myself to get up every day due to lack of sleep from the pain I'm enduring. So, I had my daughter bring me to the emergency room where I found out I have hypertension stage 2. Thats great. But, nobody could answer why I'm so weak and in tremendous pain. Blood test show"something" but I was just sent home with blood pressure pills and a pills for swelling. Those pills helped for a couple days now, I'm back to feeling like I'm destined for a wheelchair at the age of 47! My every muscle aches and I have to force my legs to walk. At first I thought maybe lyme disease. Doctor told me if I had it, I would be on the tail end of disease. Do you have any suggestions? I'm at wits end and tired of paying for doctors visits that leave me with no answers!

I've used both Fixodent and Polygrip since 2001. I'M 63 yrs old and recently had a very extensive physical including blood work and there where no red flags showing large amounts of Zinc or abnormally low readings for B12 ... all of this was because I had a viral infection in my stomach. Right now I'm taking a mild medication to keep my acid levels normal and I have always taken vitamin supplements such as Vitamin E, D, C, and multi Viatamins containing B12. What do people expect their health to be like when they are past 60, part of growing old means things just begin to break down....get used to it. It's not going to get better, memory problems are something everyone eventually suffers from the same with joint problems. Ask a pro athlete about muscle spasms and soreness all part of the game.

When I get up from bed my feet are completely dead (or should I say the soles of my feet and ankle which causes the falls, I forget overnight about the numbess of my feet and have no control over my balance. During the day if I sit for more than 25 minutes the same thing occurs, completely numb soles and ankles, no pins and needles but my numbess goes away. When I had my CVA I had a slight balance loss to the right of my body, which was the same side as my injured knee, since then I have walked with a cane - but since this fall my balance is very bad, no control of it, since the fall the rheumatoid in my right knee I have a lot of pain. I have a bad thyroid deficiency and am on 125 mlg of thyroxine. I have never suffered with my circulation but could have cried yesterday with a temperature drop, my hands are the worst, go lilac also my feet slightly better, My whole body is very cold to people around me.
