Title: Strange feeling in left arm.
Post by: Mia on August 05, 2007, 12:07:47 pm

Had GK in May this year. Are doing ok, except som headache.
Yesterday I got a kind of tickling or like the  left arm are going to fall a sleep, still have it.
Have someone had it like this?
Think I am going to call the doctor tomorrow if it not goes away.

Hi Mia, I only had that feeling before surgery. Let us know what your doc says. Take care, Yvette

Oh yes, I had/have that, it comes and goes.  Today my husband noticed I was really dragging my left leg and my arm/ was tingling.  I have had this intermittently for more than 2 years.  But you should call your neurologist and talk to him about it.  I had linac and I had damage from the radiation.  I'm not saying that that is your case at all, it is just my experience but let your doctor know tomorrow.

Hello

The doctor means it has nothing to do with my AN. So I hope it will just go away.

interesting that. I have the same kind of problem, on and off, in my right hand and right foot. AN is on left. Haven't mentioned it to the docs here, they'll probably just laugh at me (behind my back, face to face they'll just ignore me instead!), maybe I should mention it to Stanford, they'd have a much better response. Then again, might be too much work on the PC!

I'll be interested to see what other have to say here.

Ciao, Lorenzo

    Oh Boy,  Haven't we all heard that "tune" before?!!  Everything will go away, won't it?!  I'm being a bit sarcastic here but these doctors all sing the same song.  Nothing ever has anything to do with the AN does it???  Come on everybody, chime in here!!!  Holly

oh ya, like 'there's nothing wrong with your ear.' or 'the hearing loss is age related' or 'fatigue?' no answer to that particular one , 'tinnitus and hearing loss? must have been a virus'. Yes, I think we all had those kind of stories. Mind you, tingling could be other thngs too I guess...

I have been having the "tingling" in my left arm and hand for the past few weeks.  Glad to see I'm not the only one.  I also have the dragging leg.  I have a doctor appointment tomorrow.....................I'll let you know how many tests are order.  The doctor I am seeing is the smart one.  She listened to me when I kept falling and running everyone off the sidewalk when we walked side by side.  The first test she ordered after checking me out was an MRI and she found what she guessed was there.  I wouldn't trade her in for nine "hot" doctors!!
