No tingling or numbness. Just a clumsiness and weakness. It seems to last the exact same period each time, give or take a minute or two. About twenty minutes. I have trouble gripping a pencil, and if I do grip it, I have trouble forming letters. And not just that fine motor control either. I tried to do something requiring not nearly as much dexterity and couldn't do it. And just the right hand, and maybe the lower right arm.
I guess carpal tunnel is still the best guess. But it's weird that it happened when I laughed. Right when I laughed. And that the duration is so steady. Twenty minutes give or take a minute or two. And that there's no pain.
I'm just being a hypochondriac, I'm sure. The first one was a month or so ago, I guess, and I'm still alive and well.
