Default Uh Oh. I think I'm having an exacerbation

and I think it's because of a problem with my teeth from the dental work I had last month. One of my teeth that was worked on last month started hurting on friday afternoon and has been sore all weekend.

Sometimes when I sleep, my hands will fall asleep. I think that it's from me sleeping on my side and squishing my arms. (I'm not a small person) Well, I've been up for about 20 minutes now, and my left hand is numb and a little tingly in the thumb and part of the palm...it also includes my index finger, and some of the middle finger and ring finger.

Hand hasnt really woken up yet. Usually when my arm falls asleep at night, it'll wake up within the first minute or two after I wake up and move.

I dont seem to be having problems moving my hand, since I seem to be typing alright, it just feels really weird and it's pretty annoying. I'm calling my dentist and getting an appointment to see if they can look in my mouth and see what's going on at the sore spot. I guess I'll have to go call my neuro also.

I really want my hand to wake up now. I'm a crocheter and a knitter, and if I can do that, it's going to drive me nuts.

Oh, and I kind of sprained my thumb on the right hand a few weeks ago. I can still move that, but it hurts to do a lot with my right hand, so I would really like for the numbness in the left hand to go away and for the sprain in my thumb to heal soon.

I really hate this MS crap. It sucks.
