Heh. Didn't know what to call the thread, so this'll do!


Anyways. I have been kind of worried lately. For the past few weeks, I have been waking up every single day with my right arm temporarily paralyzed.

Sometimes, I'll wake up and just a few of my fingers will be completely immobile, other times it's up to my forearm and most often it's my entire arm.

I wake up, and I cannot move it. I have to flail it around at the shoulder joint and get circulation moving again which can take a few minutes.

I don't know what I am doing in my sleep, but as far as I can tell nothing has changed in how I sleep. I never used to have this problem before, and now it's happening every single day. I am on a water-bed, and I often sleep on my side with my arm beneath my pillow. This never caused my arm to be completely immobilized when I woke up.

No variable has changed, so it's a bit worrying for me. Has anybody experienced anything like this before? I should I be worried about more serious consequences stemming from this?

Sleeping on your arm my love (Hugs)

 

[Raziaar]

But I've slept like that for years with no prior problem.

 

[Eejit]

Your head must have become heavier.

Well I have been extensively studying up on math and stuff lately.








Maybe it has something to do with my unnatural finger popping... or rather finger catching which pops. But that's been going on for a couple years now.

You can't be sure nothing else has changed because, well, you're asleep. It could just be that before, you never slept on your arm the whole night. When you wake up, is your arm still under your pillow?

Not that I know of. When I wake up, I think it's often my arm that is asleep is the one on my side not beneath my pillow.


I need to set up a video camera to record me while I sleep. Because this has been seriously freaking me out lately.

What, you trying to say we ain't good enough for Razpenis?

 

[FishBulb]

Does this always happen to the arm you put under the pillow, or just your right arm?

As far as I can remember, it's almost always if not always my right arm. I sleep on my left and right sides pretty much equally, whatever feels best for the night.

I remember sleeping on my back one night because I was worried about my arm, and it was one of those days where I wake and fall back asleep many times, and every single time I woke up, my arm would be asleep, and I'd wake it up and fall back asleep, and the process would continue.

 

[FishBulb]

Well, if this continues for another week, I'd say go see a doctor just to check there's nothing wrong with the blood circulation in your right arm.

I love waking up to a numb arm and work as hard as possible to move my fingers.

It's fun for the first couple of times... but every single day?

And yeah, I'd like to go see a doctor. He'll probably prescribe me some bullshit anti-inflammatory shit and if I go buy it I'll be down the hole 100 bucks plus the doctors visit fee which is like 50 bucks.

fapfap stream pls

... I mean, we can help you analyse the footage if you want.

 

[Raziaar]

I'm sort of scared to videotape myself sleeping.

I bet I'm going to do all sort of crazy shit I didn't know while I'm sleeping... and there will be probably be shit crawling on me I don't know about, and perhaps some creepy ghost girl will be staring at me the whole time I sleep while being filmed like in some cliche horror movie.

 

[L3N!N]

If you record yourself sleeping, you will see what happens when you go to sleep...

 

[Rico]

Your penis will be fine.

 

[Raziaar]

This has been happening to me recently too, but I haven't give it much thought. It's just a dead arm I sleep with it under my pillow too so I guess it's expected. A few seconds of arm flailing and it's back to normal

It's just so bizarre though, considering I've been sleeping that exact same way for most of my life and only recently have been experiencing problems.

Oh well. If I lose my right arm and they have to amputate it, I can just get some of that regrowth powder.

I fully endorse this product/idea/event.

 

[Lokizen]

Is the amount of water in your waterbed any different than before???
Just a thought.

 

[Saturos]

Seek professional help.

Seconded. (I'm actually agreeing with Solaris? :O )

How long have you had your waterbed? Also, I've heard that hypertension (too much sodium in your diet?) can cause numbness and what not, but yeah, go see your doctor.

We, the members of HL2.net, are merely Dr. Breen's slaves and know nothing. *It's got to be the water though. I'm sure of it.*

Why don't you try to sleep a different way and see what happens...


edit: oh, apparently you did. Well keep trying. It seems to me that you're probably just defaulting to a position in your sleep where you squash your arm, but then I'm not sure what the numbness feels like (No pun intended)

Looks like someone has been writing abit too much now.
edit
Oh yes i remember this happening to my leg last time, a pain procedure to walk to the toilet to pee in the morning.

 

[Beerdude26]

Been happening to me aswell, it's rather awesome. Nothing to be worried about tbh

 

[Raziaar]

The amount of water in the waterbed is the same. And I've had the waterbed for a few years. The waterbed itself is older than me though, so it's a single chamber waterbed. Given to me by my uncle.

Have you heard about the guy who injected a drug, I forget which, into his penis. He had an erection for days on end, and it totally messed with his circulation. His arms and lower legs had to be amputated.

Have you injected drugs into your penis?

You think I called this thread Limp Noodle for nothing?
