Hi ladies...has any of you experienced tingly or numb sensations? I just noticed it on one thumb...but my hubby days it was after a night of sleep im ng on that side. It's not stopping me from doing things..and I can move it normally ...just feels like it fell asleep in one spot.

I do lean on elbows a lot..my daughter made me realize that. so I'm think a pinched nerve...any experience with that? Sometimes I feel it in pinky and wrist after lying or leaning on that side

    Hi yes I've experienced this with my thumb and pinky, with my thumb it goes numb between my knuckle and thumb nail, it's very odd and comes and goes

      That's exactly where I feel it....strange and annoying sensation. Thanks, Haley. I am hoping it just disappears as randomly as it started.

    Yes I've been experiencing this issue too. Yesterday it was my leg on the right side. Today it's my left arm. You never know from day to day or moment to moment what symptoms we will have.

      Thanks for your response, sharcerv. This meno phase is good for one thing only- periods cease.

      Then are replaced with a maddening array of crazy scary symptoms!! geez...

    Yes, I have...a couple of fingers, wrist or side of arm.  The weirdest was when I couldn’t feel  my outer left ankle.  I would pinch the skin and I couldn’t feel it...that lasted only a little bit...🙄

      Wow...and sometimes tingling when I randomly scratch my itchy, dry skin!

      Thanks for your response..I'm gonna try to relax about it.

    There’s the menopause centre,  it’s in another country, (AU)...but they list tingles as a symptom.  They have free info to read too.    I’m in US and only wish I could go there!

      Oh thanks for that tip,Lou!! I will be reading their site this evening. Yes, I wish I could afford to go to the UK for help. They seem to have more resources and professionals who take peri and menopause so much more seriously than the ones I've met here so far.
