arms or legs feeling slightly numb
« on: April 13, 2007, 08:20:29 AM »
I could not sleep last night because I kept thinking my right leg felt a little numb and I was afraid that I was just going to lose all feeling and be paralyzed. This morning when I woke up, my leg was fine....until I started to think about, then it felt numb again. Now one of the fingers on my right hand feels a little tingly! I just have this stupid fear that my hands or legs are going to become paralyzed for no reason at all...and I won't be able to finish graduate school & I'll be a big weirdo failure.

Anyone else ever get this or fear becoming paralyzed?

this is definitely anxiety and obsessive thinking. those tingling even numbness sensations are common among us anxiety sufferers. If you could just let it be? I mean let your thoughts come, let your fingers tingle...It`s nothing serious, It will pass.

"until I started to think about, then it felt numb again"

see? :spineyes:

yup. happened to me when I went away. I started to feel numb in my hand and slowly my whole arm then the other arm. couldn't sleep the whole trip because I kept waking up to make sure I could feel everything. then when i'd wake up i'd be fine until i started thining about it again. by the end of the trip it spread all the way down to my legs and feet but once i got home i was fine! who the hell knows how we do this to ourselves!

Exactly the same for me aswell,  I once has slept on my arm so on waking of course it was numb but that didnt register right away.  Major panic and by the end my mind had managed to make me believe other parts of my body were going numb.  I actually started believing I had had a stroke.
