Hi, so whenever for example I clap my hands together fairly hard my hands tingle for a few seconds, then it goes away.
Or I turn the steering wheel in my car too fast and the wheel brushes fast against my hand- same thing, a light tingling for 2-3 seconds.
Do you guys think this is bart/infectious pathogen or generalized inflammation affecting small nerve fibers [my C4a and TGF were slightly elevated] or a B vitamin deficiency [my cellular B12 and B5 were a tad low].
Any thoughts as to the chief cause? I do not get the tingling when sitting still/doing nothing like many bart people do though. Only when my body impacts something else [like clapping hands]. Thanks!

I don't know but, sounds kind of mild, maybe just live w/ it, try the B vitamins...

- when "clap my hands together fairly hard" or "turn the steering wheel in my car too fast"
Sounds like these are violent actions for any hands that are involved with a neurological condition.
As the sound of clapping is so very violent to my ears, I never understood how this came to be such a habit to show appreciation. "Ooohs" or "Ahhs" would be much more pleasing for any performance, I'd think. Even some orchestra performers have said so.
If clapping to scare away a bear, though, well, go for it.
Any such action will likely make things worse. Just don't clap and try to anticipate in driving so sudden hard turns are minimized.
Generally, cover all the bases, consider all variables and just be sure appropriate action - or change in action - it taken.
It can be impossible to know for sure and, most often, it's a combination of things.
Some B vitamin levels may be off but that could be too low or too high. B6 is toxic if too much is taken. Check your total B6 intake to be sure it's not too much. It's very fine line with that.
And B12 is absorbed best sublingually yet be sure you have plenty of good animal / fish / eggs protein on board, too.
So often, it's never just one thing but a combination so cover all the bases with tender loving care of your hands, too. -

but my blood test showed low D3 (20s) and my LLMD told me to take this - so it may be different for you
after about 6 months of 6000 i.u. daily my weird nerve sensations were almost gone and my blood level had crawled back up to a low normal reading (in normal range but on the low end)
I still take the D3 because I got the nerve issues again when I backed off
I also had low Ca in my blood and am taking Ca (actually just drinking milk again now (A2 milk only), so skipping the Ca Citrate pills) and Mg
you can poison yourself if you take too much since it is a fat soluble (not water soluble, like B vitamins) vitamin
but most people are deficient in D3
