I have severe poloyneuropathy of my arms and hands, along with feet and legs.  An emg got
absolutely no response from my legs, feet, arms, and hands.  My fingers and toes feel like they
have had Novocain injections.  I lost my writing ability some time ago (can barely sign my
name), and now my typing ability is being affected.  I cannot feel my mouse with the tips of my
fingers.  I have to use a spoon to eat with.  One of the first signs of my arms and hands was
realizing I could not feel my legs when my hands were laying on them.

Good Morning Billie,

I am so sorry you are suffering so much. My thoughts are with you
today.

I have some neurpathy in my feet, but nothing like what you are
experiencing.

Frank, I don't know what to say about your plight, except that you have my
deepest sympathy....

How long have you had diabetes?

Hi Frank,

I sincerely advise a visit to the doctor.  My hand (left) and arm go
numb due to cervical spinal stenosis and two protruding disks.  We're
in search of which disk is causing the trouble.  Is there any pain
invovled?

My son had a damaged ulnar nerve causing numbness in his ring and
little finger.

Please see your doctor.  This may be related to diabetes.  It may be
related to nerve damage caused by something else.  Only a doctor can
tell for sure.

Neurological affairs are nothing to sneeze at.  Nor is impaired blood
flow from poor circulation.  See your doctor.
