It took a year to get in to see this "specialist". I asked what he thought it was if not PN. He laughed and said "Well, I don't know but it was sure nice to meet you today", shook my hand and left the room.

Default I know how you feel.
I am sorry you had to go through that. I posted some time back about my long awaited appointment with the head neurologist for the most prestigious teaching hospital in my city. He told me all my symptoms (including the ones in my arms and hands) came from crossing my legs. He told me if I stopped they'd all go away. I was so disappointed because I had put so much hope into that appointment.

Pinky, many years ago I read or heard about NOT crossing our legs as it cuts off circulation. I have not crossed my legs for many years. When I do stretches to stretch out my back, I cross my legs over each side to stretch out my back...but sitting, I never do. I'm forever telling one of our bridge players, "uncross" your legs.

I'm very aware of this and even watch people on TV who cross their legs...lots of men do. Now what this has to do with PN??
