Day 9, Numb Thumb

[LeesaD]

I don't know if its from pressing the button on the exit all the time and scrolling through this forum with my thumb like a woman obsessed....

but did anyone get this or anything similar?

Hey LeesaD , haven't heard of numbness but have heard of tingling or pins and needles in hands and feet at this early stage of our quits as our blood circulation and oxygen returns to normal - it may not be related at all to your quit but if gets worse, may be a check up with doctor is needed just for re-assurance (have you suffered this before, my initial thought was arthritis, my sister and mam have it and have numb fingers?)

nothing like this before Roisin, but I'm only guessing its to do with phone and ecig. I don't want to check Dr Google because I've diagnosed myself many times and have been given an earful from docs before about it. Il check with a doc in a few days if its the same. Thanks for answering

I hear ya, I'm a terror for Dr Google too, worst thing you can do

Yeah, ditto what Roisin said. Definitely heard reports of pins and needles as circulation improves. Could be just this.

My daughter self diagnosed mouth cancer a few weeks ago because of Dr Google. He's a bloody menace!

Oh Nozmo I've been buried 20 times over now with the diagnoses that I give myself. It's terrible. Just increases my already bad bad bad anxiety. #stayawayfromgoogle

The ecig can do that to you in the beggining, specially if it is a new device. We tend to press to hard on the button when we're stressed.

I'm hoping that's all it is Madzoya, its just irritating!!
