Hi all,
Please all you APS sufferers , do any /all /some of you suffer with pruning in your fingertips also changes in sensitivity, sometimes a little prickling and numbness??
This has only happened since I was diagnosed in Feb ?
It's not all the time or even in the bath , but they will just shrivel up and dent when I hold something, tingle and go a little numb ! I've upped my water but it's not helping.
KR all !
Only noticed if cold or been in hot shower or bath.
Not the pruning but the pins n needles tingling that builds up into awful pain in one arm n one lower leg.get pins n needles and numbness in feet n some fingers too
It could be so many things I guess, my doc just told me to atY off google but it's all a worry ! Does yours come and go ? Thx
Yes it does but the arm and leg is new since couple weeks ago.If I rang doctor n said I get pins n needles up my left arm he would say ring an ambulance but it's not heart attack.my leg pins n needles goes excessive into pain in knee when standing too long like drying up at sink.seems lockdown has escalated things
YES! This happens often and I wonder why as I am not cold, not just bathed, and am fully hydrated. I do have neuropathy with the pins & needles and numbness but this pruning happens separate to that.
Suntap oh I have found someone else , how interesting, I simply don't get why either , my fingertips are fine when I wake up, they are pink and bouncy but within an hour they shrivel up again and lose their padding. I have read that pruning can be a symptom of autoimmune issues but my GP clearly doesn't know ! Thanks for replying!
It's so weird isn't it , started quite suddenly and mines clearly getting worse , almost new weird symptoms every week , what a joy ! Thanks for replying😊
Hi Sevenstar1!! It's me again!
I just found this post from 3 months ago! ☺
My fingertips are numb because of Peripheral Neuropathy. It's sooo annoying.
Also, a few months ago I discovered something that really upset me. I had to sign an important document and they needed my fingerprint... Guess what! I don't have those anymore.... also because of the PN!. 😯
A few days ago I broke a plate... I got angry at myself even though I knew it wasn't my fault. I have to be very careful when I hold something because I've become so clumsy.😑
I also have a similar problem with me feet and I'm always terrified I'm going to fall.
Wishing you a good Sunday! 🙂
