This morning I awoke with tingling in my pinky fingers, ring fingers and thumbs.  My last b12 check even post 30 days when i norm do my shot was in the normal range (low norm but norm nonetheless)  I figured upon getting up and moving about etc this would disipate quickly.  Two hours later I still had some tingling in my left pinky finger yet the rest after those 2 hours had subsided.  My fingers were not cold to the touch, blood sugars have all been norm even on recent checks due to increased thirst and being on Entocort.  I do not see my PA until June 9th.  this is not a daily occurance however this is not the 1st time.  I could see maybe sleeping an odd way but both sides having the same issues??

thoughts on things I should keep an eye out for or ask my doctor when I see him next?

If by "low normal" you mean below 300, then many endocrinologists would suspect you of being deficient. The test is not foolproof - two other tests need to be done to get a better reading, but for anybody below 300, they just go ahead and supplement the fastest way possible - a shot.

So just how low was "low normal." The labs say "normal" reaches into the 200s, but "normal" does not mean you are not deficient.

Also, tingling in the little and ring fingers can be a sign of ulnar nerve entrapment. People that rest on the elbows alot [like using the computer, sitting in a hard armed chair, or even sleeping on their back], can get these symptoms. The pressure on the nerve in the elbow is the cause. I have it and must take care to reposition my elbows alot so as not to put pressure on them for too long.

I wake up with numb hands and/or fingers all the time. Its because just like IDES states it caused by how we have laid at night or way we lean on the arm etc. I always lean on the arm rest in my truck and my arms will go numb if I continue sitting that way. I get B12 shots bimonthly and beleive in my case its nothing more than I have laid on my hands or leaned on my elbow . Sucks becuz in the mornings as I get ready for work I am always dropping stuff because my hands are numb and make me uncoordinated. But it goes away in a short while just like yours did.

Ok thanks will have to keep an eye on when the symptoms happen to occur see if I can correlate it to something elseI have carpal as well but those are not the symptoms I get when that acts up and it doesnt happen often but when it does it is annoying. I kept shaking my arms hoping it would wake up etc.

I did see the pics of your surgery tsit how are you doing now with it?

My family doc believes I do have some carpal tunnel, so it could very well be that. Good luck!

When I wake with tingling it usually means I need to go to the bathroom ,,,soon. But thats another type of tingling. I have bone spurs in my neck, yep thanks to crohns , and have a good bit of lost feeling in fingers and the top of left hand. Doc says surgery still will not fix it all but may be coming . I find it is worse in the mornings . They can do a test with small shocks to the fingers to see if you have nerve damage . I did not find the test that bad but some here say it hurts. Guess that is for each of us to decide . Talk to your doctor. Good luck .
