I was thinking about a pinched nerve, but it's in both hands.
Right now my left foot is my only reminder of what normal feels like. Ugh. Left hand is mostly okay, but still weird. Worst is right foot currently. Bizarre.
Although I love the mental image of a fur-clad trapper carefully concealing his snares to capture the wily nerve. While most trappers swear by an acetylcholine bait, the trapper in our tale prefers a light dusting of dopamine.
Hearts.
P-C,
I fucked up my back (and it is still not right) and experience pain and numbness (depending) on both sides (or one side) in arms and/or legs.
Nerve problems (for me it tight muscles impinging on the nerves) needn't be constrained to one area, esp with back and neck.
When my shoulders get really tight from stress, my hands go tingly-numb. Happens to my sister when she's been driving for a long time. IOW, sometimes it's the muscles putting pressure on nerves, too, as le n said.
Thunderstorm coming in.

Stress?? I don't have any of that, no sirree.
madly plans for Comic-Con too many conflicts aaaaah
can I just say, how much I love my bitches, and how we jump in en masse to help folks? Look at us this morning. Both Sean and PC (ok, maybe Sean was yesterday, I'm a little behind). I love it!
ION- for those of you thinking of painting a whole condo without professionals. DON"T DO IT! Ouch. Hurt. Everywhere. Today will be a light day. Some clean up from last nights mess. Eat a little. And come home. Now I just need to wait for flooring to go in, and then I can move in!!! Eeep. So excited!

I'm fairly sure that's how my joints go about it. Stealthily.
This is just weird because I don't can't identify anything that's dramatically changed to have brought this on.
You're getting old, son. You ever read Dark Knight Returns? Tingling hands were the least of Batman's problems.
Okay, seriously, you can have bilateral pinched nerves, and general inflammation can be bilateral.
And stress can have totally fucked-up effects on the human body.

There's a giant vaguely lizard-shaped creature in my backyard. Can you swing by? (Get it? SWING by? I AM HILARIOUS.)
Totally unrelatedly, Trader Joe's has a goat-cheese gouda made with honey that is so good I might eat about 10,000 pounds of it. Also, quinoa fruit salad is awesome.

Our latest TJ's obsession is Island Soyaki, a kind of marinade they were using on sample meatballs in-store. Sooo addictive. It's got soy sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds.
It's so good on meats.
