What do my symptoms mean? Dizziness, numbness/tingling in feet, extreme thirst, Blurry vision.?
I am 16 years of age, and for the past couple of months, some of these things have been going on. Every now and then, i'll get this feeling like i'm going to pass out (I'm assuming, due to the fact that I have never passed out before.), and I feel dizzy to the point where I have to lie down. Also, I will get this odd numbness/tingling in my feet and it doesn't go away. Then I always feel thirsty. I can drink two glasses of water and still be thirsty. Now, I have blurry vision, which isn't normal because I have 20/20, and I don't wear glasses/contacts. It would be great if I knew what was wrong with me. I have looked up my symptoms before, and it says it may be Type 1 Diabetes, which is probable because my mothers side of the family has a few people with Diabetes. I didn't worry too much about it because I figured something would have happened by now. Thanks. = )
What is it like to be permanently numb in a part of your body?
I underwent a sacral resection to remove a sarcoma (the sacrum just happens to be what it was attached to). The result is many severed nerves resulting in numbness and loss of muscle movement.When I say "numb" what I mean is that you could stick a needle into parts of me and I wouldn't feel it BUT in that way that things are ironic in life I have a tremendous amount of pain often in the areas where I am numb. It is deep, sharp pain and burning pain. Although it has been 11 years it seems my nerves are still upset about their severence.I am "numb" from my waist to just above my knees and also on the bottom of my feet. I have learned that I need to be really careful. Early on I was sitting on a stool at my workbench in the garage and I couldn't find my hammer. You guessed it, I was sitting on it. I have also sat on a screwdriver (maybe I need to give up the home repair). About a week ago I sat on my laptop, it is now in the shop getting a new screen.All in all, despite being numb and in pain, life is good. I walk (albeit, not too well), drive, work and live a much more normal life than I would have predicted.
When i wake up my hands are tingly, numb like, what does that mean?
pins and needles. Its when you have been leaning on a part of the body for a long time and the circulation of blood gets cut off, it feels like your arm or legs dead but its not, a tip to get rid of the pain quickly is to wriggle your fingers and toes as fast as you can, this will help the circulation quickly be back to normal. (They advise when you sat or standing in the same spot for a long time to occasional move about, the circulation could be cut off so much- that the blood actually starts to clot, this condition is then called deep vein thromobolis.)
What does it mean if your foot goes numb when you are being fingered?
I was at the movies with my boyfriend and he put his hand down my pants and fingered me. He wasn't able to get much access obviously but he put two fingers in and it felt like his nails were scratching the inside of my vagina but that didn't happen when he put 1 finger in. Also, the front bottom part of my right foot went numb. what does this mean?
My toe keeps getting numb ever sense I sprained my ankle, something wrong?,?
i think you mean ever "since" but yeah, ive sprained my ankle pretty bad when i was dancing and i couldnt dance for like 3 weeks...i kept doing exercises and danced on it little by little to get back into it. just stay off of it until its not swollen anymore and when you do decide to get back on it go very slowly and dont do too much at once...if you do it could cause pain in your ankle forever. both my knees and my left anke have been injured and now i have to wear braces on all of them when im dancing. oh, and the numbness should fade in time, if it doesnt then let a doctor know. good luck
Why do feet and hands go numb???
Usually, you feel this familiar sensation after you've been putting pressure on part of our body -- sitting on a foot, sleeping on an arm, etc. When you apply this pressure for a prolonged period of time, you actually cut off communication from your brain to parts of your body. The pressure squeezes nerve pathways so that the nerves can't transmit electrochemical impulses properly. Nerve impulses carry sensation information from nerve endings in the body to the brain, as well as instructions from the brain to the parts of the body. When you interfere with this transfer by squeezing the nerve pathways, you don't have full feeling in that body part, and your brain has trouble telling the body part what to do. Some nerve cells don't transmit any information and others start sending impulses erratically. This causes you to feel a strange tingling sensation, which actually serves an important function. Your foot falling asleep for 10 minutes doesn't pose any health threat, but if you were to cut off circulation for an extended period of time -- several hours -- you could suffer serious nerve damage. The initial tingling sensation tells you that you might want to readjust your position.
