It doesn't just affect one arm though, it is always both arms and both feet, when it is "position" related (for me), and the sensation doesn't take several hours to go away (usually a few min, then it's back to normal tingling).

Like Kelly though, I always have the sensation, it's just worse after being in certain positions.

Try sleeping another way to see if that makes a difference . . .

Cherie
I thought about that, that it might be a L'hermittes symptom. I go to the neuro next week. I'm going to ask him about it then.
