My Numbness

[Janet]

I finally called and got in to see the Dr. about the numbness in my thumbs and first two fingers on both hands. He was telling me how there are two main nerves, one taking care of the fingers I mentioned and the other one with the ring and pinky fingers.

We talked for a bit and then he decided from our conversation that the first thing we will try is water pills. I'm holding just a bit of fluid. I am to call him back next Tuesday to let him know if anything has changed. He said a week would be long enough to tell. If there is not a noticeable difference, then he will send me to a neurologist.

I know we kind of laughed at me not thinking it was from typing too much, but I don't type near as much as I use to....I don't think....could be wrong...it wouldn't be the first time...lol.
