Okay so I know that when you sit on your feet or your hands too long, they fall asleep right? And it takes a few minutes for them to wake up, and its pins and needles and terrible before they wake up.
Here is my question. I want to know if anyone else experiences this to an extreme, like i do. Meaning, if i bend my leg too long (like 10 minutes even) my foot instantly falls asleep. When i try to wake it up, its beet red and it takes sometimes longer than an hour for the pins and needles to stop. I have very low bloody pressure, and I wonder if this is the cause of my feet and hands falling asleep so easily, and taking forever to wake up. What do you guys think?
Also if i bend my elbow and lean it on something like an armrest or if im leaing on my bed, my hand starts to tingle within seconds. Its not debilitating or anything like that, its just annoying!

- My brain is operating in list mode today. This is what comes to mind (after of course, your communicating with your LLMD): -----------
1. Be sure all "excito-toxins" are absent from your diet (link in next post)
2. Cranial-Sacral assessment / therapy
3. Antioxidants, anti-inflammatory nutrients & Fish Oil
4. Myelin (nerve sheath) support (See Terry Wahls detail)
5. Ergonomics - assess your body mechanics.
Adjustments to your habits (or furniture, even shoes) may need some changes. If holding your leg too long, or leaning in bed brings discomfort, your body is telling you that position is too much strain.
You will find detail about all of the "categories" listed above --, just scroll down: ------------
Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees . . .
BODY WORK links with safety tailored to lyme patients . . .
Links to: UPLEDGER; FELDENKRAIS and other GENTLE techinques that do NOT use sudden or sharp twists to the neck that can damage those with lyme. -

- After all that, I think it's mostly that our bodies just are not built to be used the way most of us do.
Yes, indeed, the issues that come with lyme caN be a factor but, if we've gotten away with some bad habits for years, that time is likely over and we have to go back to square one.
We have to straighten up, so to speak.
I would start with the FELDENKRAIS links regarding body mechanics. Sure helps me.
Qi Gong - or Tai Chi - would also be excellent in many ways. -
