stress is a huge trigger for me because it causes adrenal fatigue that makes my symptoms worse. I work very hard at keeping a positive attitude and have had to eliminate some people from my life that are negative and energy drainers.
skimclad If it helps, numbness is probably related to age. Muscles atrophy as you get older even if you do keep in shape. Both my husband and I get numbness if we overwork our muscles. It can also mean other things but you have to think in degrees of numbness and whether it stays or goes. Try to think what might cause it. When I mow the lawn or drive a car sometimes my fingers go numb. Walking with tight shoes and sometimes those cross trainers at the gym cause it, but it always goes away. When it stays all the times is probably a little more problematic. Lots of doctors don't listen. I have to educate myself a lot in order to get the care I should get.
Re: Numbness in limbs, fingers — I have told my doctors that my fingers and toes are numb, but it is like they are not listening. I have no insurance and have only been diagnosed with sympomatic MVP recently. Now I understand the only thing to do is to wait until I fall out in the floor before someone will listen and tell me it is serious. An I am only 46, eat well and no reason for this to be happening.
