It is more like a decreased sensitivity to textures. When this was just on 1 have the frosted glass on the underside of my glass desk felt like an emory bored to my right ringers, but much smoother and less abrasive to my left fingers, now it feels that smooth to both fingers. I can feel that texture a bit more on my fingertips and the texture is still there when I rub my nails on it. And it will scratch my ring.

And if that wasn't enough...

Later this afternoon after this first post, I felt a another strange sensation on my lower right leg. Like I was wearing a light sock, except I wasn't. I still have touch sensation and it hurts when I touch it with a pin, just like the other side, but it feels strange. And every once in a while I feel the slightest tingling that quickly seems to go away. It also seems that it takes far less time for my hands or feet to feel tinging if they are in an awkward position and I noticed if I sit very still, I can feel my pulse in my hands (w/o them touching each other of course).

Like my first post said, I have been a healthy 42 y-o until just about 3 weeks ago I had ZERO problems. It should be said that about 8 months ago my wife really who had also been healthy developed tingling and numbness on her left side that no one can explain. I have been stressing to a terrible degree about her health (over 6 weeks, dropping from 195 to 178, and now back up to 185) and worried she has MS, no clinical evidence can be found. So 3 weeks ago she wakes me up at 4a saying she can't swallow, I freak thinking it is finally MS kicking in. Turns out to be just a REALLY bad sore throat, and later that night, all these weird sensations started, and have been coming, going, and changing for the past 3 weeks. I am doing my best to stay relaxed, not stress about it, and for probably 2-3 of the past 6 days or so, I was feeling pretty good, until this finger and leg thing started.

I have an appt. with my PCP on Wed, and hope to get some tests done and maybe some answers.

The researcher and speculator in me thinks this stress/anxiety finally coming out in my physically. Perhaps facilitated by some low or borderline vitamin and/or mineral counts I may have that had never been a problem before.

Do ya think I rambled on enough?

Any guesses?
