Has anyone experienced this since getting sick?

Ever since I got lyme, almost every night I wake up with my hands and arms totally numb, tingling and asleep.

Is this pretty common for other people?

I had that experience for some time. It has resolved with treatment. It is a little weird feeling, but it will go away.

Yes. I don't get this every night but lately it's happening much more often where I wake up and my right hand is numb/asleep even though I am not lying it on it. It doesn't last too long, does yours Runnergirl?

It doesn't last too long. Once I wake up and feel it I can pretty quickly shake it out. But when I think back it was one of my first symptoms I think.

Me too, I just move it and shake it about and the numbness goes away pretty fast. Thank goodness, right! Although I have had some flares of numbness come back during the day a few times. This is a fairly new symptom for me. I have been recovering from LD for almost 3 years.

Yes, I get this too - more just recently actually. I hang my arm(s) out over the side of the bed and shake it about and it comes back, but it's a horrible feeling :-(

Is that what it's considered when this happens? I wasn't sure of the name.

Hi Runnergirl,

This used to happen to me almost every day/night. I has gotten better with treatment.

I hope it goes away for you soon. Please keep us posted!

I get this every other night too. Scary feeling but goes away fast. I dont even get why does it wake me up?

It actually happens to most of the general population. It just happens more frequently in people with Lyme I suppose.

It never used to happen to me before I got sick :-/

It happens to me also and has for many years now.
I am in treatment now and it (and most other symptoms) stopped for almost a month,but back now...just have a ways to go is all and I'm sure it will disappear for good. :)
