Any improvement yet? I do hope so.
I'm sorry I haven't checked this board in a while. :( But I've checked the followup box this time. When I get busy I usually just read Psychological.
It's been happening more frequently lately. I've also been under a lot more stress and working a lot more. But I've noticed a real tie-in to laughing, waking up, and yesterday yawning. I'm getting used to it though and don't worry about it anymore.
The doctor's nurse called with the official negative results and offered a battery of nerve conduction tests. But I refused. If there's nothing threatening my health or long term functioning, I'm not going to bother about it.
The thing is that it really doesn't hurt. My feet have more numbess and tingling. It's just the weakness that lasts five to ten minutes usually, I guess. I ought to time it more officially and keep the results in a log.
The nerve conduction lady seemed to think I was imagining it. Maybe I am. She tested below my elbow, but not above, I don't think.
