Members connected over the shared experience of numbness, tingling, and weakness in their arms and legs, with many describing sensations that worsen at night, interrupt sleep, or occur after standing or sitting too long. Several members discussed treatments they've tried, including Lyrica for neuropathy, wrist braces for carpal tunnel symptoms, and medications like Plaquenil and Cymbalta, though some expressed frustration that relief remains elusive. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of these symptoms, with members sharing feelings of exhaustion, confusion about what's happening in their bodies, and a deep longing to feel like themselves again.

I also have the tingling in my left hand and foot. It's neuropathy and mine is treated with Lyrica. I take 400mg a day but will be discussing a change in dosing bc I'm having it a lot more especially at night.

I get numbness in both hands especially at night, it wakes me up. My rheumatologist gave me braces to wear telling me it was carpel tunnel. The braces help, but they are so annoying to sleep in. I also get numbness and tingling in my feet. Mostly if I stand in one place to long.

I was curious if u have any side effects w/ Lyrica? I was on Cymbalta for Fibromylagia but could not deal with the excessive sweating. It did help with my overactive nerve pain though, so I hated stopping it.
