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! 🙂
Update and Lots of new aches and pains! 
Not sure if numbness is from the APS or from issues with my neck
APS and the management of anticoagulation during surgery.
Does anyone have experience of kidney problems and APS please?
