My left arm has been having this feeling lately like its detached or something. Almost like after your arms falls asleep and after the pins and needles fade that weird fuzzy feeling.
Except I am not leaning on it or anything its just happens ramdomly and then of course I think the worst and start to panic.
I almost feels week too. But if I try to do something like make a fist its fine. Its strange and scary.
Thanks

Geet,
I have had this before esp when laying in bed. It is really scary. Sometimes I've only felt like my head was attached to my trunk, nothing else.

I've had a period of time where my forearms would feel detached. For me it wasn't very pronounced, and it didn't really interfere with functioning. Haven't felt it in years.

OMG - YES, this symptom happened yesterday and scared me terribly. It was one of my first symptoms when I fell ill in Sep-07. EXACTLY as you described. I wish I knew why too. Scary.

Yes, I have had that happen with my left arm. It happened the day I started antibiotics. It did go away.

OK, since this started, my left side was always affected which scares me more. I've been thoroughly tested for cardiac issues, but.....
It seems all here are saying left.left.left. What it is?

I used to get this all the time, back in the late 90s, especially when driving. It was my left arm too. It was not numb, but it felt disconnected, as if it were not my arm. It seemed as though it would not obey the commands of my brain. It was very scary. I would have to look at it, and pinch it, and move it around, to convince my brain that it was, in fact, my arm and that it was real.

I know what you mean-sometimes my head feels like it isn't there!
This happens to all my various limbs at one time or another. I think it's Babs related.........could be wrong. Hope it gets better!

This was one of my first symptoms. Would wake up after a night out and my arms would be asleep and weak. It would happen again a lot when I started treatment but it went away more or less after a few months.
I Just get the numb fingers on waking on occasion.
Its all just inflammatory nerve stuff. Should resolve in time.

Just another question, do you think I should see a doctor? and if so which type? I emailed my LLMD yesterday but received no response. Should I maybe go and see my pcp?
Thanks Melissa
