Fingers Numb?!
Question: I've been waking up at night finding that my fingers, and sometimes my hands, are completely numb. I have to get feeling back before I can go back to sleep (it only takes a few seconds).
I don't suffer problems during the day or at any other time. Only at night.
It has been happening since August or September of 2007.
I don't work at a computer all day, and I don't strenuously use my hands for my job, so I don't think its Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
I don't have health insurance right now, so therefore cannot go to the doctor.
I am a nursing student, but unaware of what this could be. Can someone give me some possibilities?

well i have experienced the same with my fingers and so with my legs that always cramped, i thought too its Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I was advised to take Vit.B12, and i took, now im back to normal. I hope it will work for you. Nothing serious at all. Good luck.
ur probablly laying on it wrong like how ur foot will fall asleep and it feels like ur getting poked with needles
b/c i wake up somtimes and my heads been wresting on my arm and the blood cant surculate rite
so if ur sleepin on ur arm try not to
i hope this helped=)
I was trying to email you there but i think maybe you will need to get a colleague to check it out for you.
i am thinking its RSI but again you dont spend much time on a computer but again i would check this out with a collegue.
I get this sensation on my hands and feet but i think its from the cold and i have bad circulation.
I get this in my arms, I go to move my arm and it ends up smacking me in my face usually cause I cant feel it. Takes a few seconds to get back to normal, usually starts to tingle before its normal again. Its from sleeping in awkward positions.
Check the way you are sleeping. Are you cutting off your circulation when you sleep? And make an appointment to
see a doctor. Having your circulation cut off on a regular basis can lead to complications. Call to make an appointment tell them your problem. They may be able to help you so you can get assistance. County hospitals are usually a good source for the uninsured
you may think i am not so clued in on this subject.
but i have had the numb hands troubles for a long time, and i find that prayer helps it at least 99% of the time i awaken with it. spirituality and honesty, i say, i am not perfect, but, seeking the better way of life, has helped soooooooooo much. i can't go and quote a bunch of the scriptures, but i have learned from mistakes.
to speak of a physical point of view, i was a smoker from age 13 until age 47. circulation can be so bad. my hands are much better now in the last two years.
when my hands go numb, they tend to vibrate when they wake me up.
