Why do I sleep with my hands curled up in fists?

I do. Have always done it. I always thought it was because I was stressed. I used to sleep with carpal tunnel braces on my hands/wrists to help with pain. That was before I knew I had lyme - just thought I had some weird postpartum carpal tunnel thing. If only I had known....

Probably something wrong with an intracellular transport through the cellular membrane causing an imbalance of extracellular divalent cations. The translation, your body is deficient of something it needs. In order to heal, you must correct the imbalances and eliminate the toxins. Doing one without the other will not lead to getting cured.

No doubt my body is deficient in nutrients… with a leaky gut and all of the mutations I posted about in the ANSWERS thread… I have a lot going on. And healing will take a very, very long time—perhaps a lifetime.

I start off curled up on my side with one hand tucked under my pillow and the other draped across my hip. And every single AM I wake up on my back with my hands placed on my chest curled up in fists. And then all day long they hurt and ache, my grip is weak and joints are sore. It's not temperature—this happens throughout the seasons, plus my bed is pretty snug. I am finally sleeping through the night (usually—tonight is the 3-4 wk cycle exception) and wonder if this suggests I'm not sleeping well.

Curious.
