yes and it comes and goes depending on the weather. If it is warm they are not too bad,

My fingers are numb but if I pinch or hit them there is feeling, pain as well. The muscle movement in my thumb and forefinger of the left hand was non-existant Its been almost 9 months since I contracted MG and the muscle movement in the aforementioned fingers are slowly improving. The numb feeling/pain and muscle movement is also better in warmer weather.

Hi Chanel, I have Wergeners and in my left hand I have no feeling down one side and at one time could not move my last two digits on that hand. I now can move them but cannot feel them only pins and needles. I went to my Vasculitus specialist a wonderful man who told me I had a condition called mononeuritus which is common in arthritus and Vasculitus sufferers and can affect any part of the body at the same time. I wonder if it wouldn't be worth your while to bring it up with your specialist and see what he can do for you, Hope this helps.

I lost feeling in both feet and the left hand but after 3 years it has steadily improved. It is still there a bit but more of a nuisance now, so be patient. The more I have used them the better they have improved. Physio helped. Good luck.
