Twitching - Chicago MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Mine locks up every now and then, plus the fingers on both hands periodically go numb.

Get blood work done, plus A1C - reader

My finger or thumb locks up like a cramp and I have to pull it to unlock it. I had an A1C (never had it done before) and it was 7.3. They told me I have diabetes and put me on Metformin and Synthroid for hypothyroid. They both give me chest pain, (slight stabbing pain). I have no idea why my fingers lock up, I also tested positive for RA. But nobody does anything for my crampy fingers or my chest pain.

There are SO many reasons for twitching/tremors. You should not be raising the specter of Parkinson's.

I've had periodic twitching on my left index finger for a little while now, but today it's to the point that it's starting to interfere with my typing.  I have moderate CTS on that hand; just wondered if that might have anything to do with it.  Anybody else have this problem?

Eyelid Is TwitchingDec 20, 2010
My right eyelid has been twitching for several days now.  It is driving me crazy.  Last night I looked in the mirror to see it twitch and it looks like I am sending a secret message via morris code!  Any suggestions to make it stop.  If I keep my hand over my eye to apply pressure to the lid, it stops, but I can not keep my hand on my face all day long.  I have wondered if muscle relaxers will stop it, as I take them for my back and GI tract when they acts up, but have n ...

Romney Would Index SS Benefit To Prices Rather ThanSep 22, 2012
Here's short explanation (if you stick to the summary at the top) of the effects of the various ways we can handle SS benefit increases. It really seems like our choice is to either 1. Accept lower and lower payments over the years, indexed to prices (Republican plan), or 2. Increase our SS tax paid with each paycheck now (7.5%+ us and 7.5%+ employer) and get benefits that keep pace with general income levels over the years, indexed to wages (the way we've been doing it). http://www ...

Sore Pinky FingerSep 29, 2010
Anyone else ever have trouble with their pinky finger getting really sore? My pinky finger has been really sore lately. A couple of weeks ago it got all swollen and turned blue.  I didn't injure it at all.  I went to the doctor and she said I had broken a blood vessel and put a splint on it for a few days.  She insisted that I must have injured it and forgot, but I know I didn't (I think I would have bigger problems if that were the case.)  It got better after I was ...

Share Finger FoodsNov 14, 2015
Holidays are coming. Here are some of my favorite, easy-to-make finger foods. No utensils needed by the "eatee," LOL. Probably can even get away with just a cocktail napkin instead of a plate Roll-ups: Get plain or flavored soft tortillas. Spread a little mustard on it, then place a piece of ham (or turkey), lettuce and cheese--I use Swiss or Provolone--and roll up and cut into pinwheels. I put the lettuce in between the cold cuts and the cheese. It makes them less slippery and messy. These a ...

Anyone Out Here With Trigger Finger? Mine Developed In The Last May 11, 2014
This came on quickly.  One morning a couple weeks ago I woke up and found that my ring finger on my left hand seemed to be stuck when I tried to open my hand up.  Since then it has gotten a little worse, hurts mostly in the morning and feels like it is popping out when I open my hand all the way.  I looked up trigger finger and what it says is exactly what is happening to me.  Unfortunately it looks like there is nothing to be done about it until it gets so bad you have to ha ...

Minor Question - Finger ArthritisDec 19, 2016
In the grand scheme of things this is a very paltry question, but it's new to me, so would like to hear about any tips or fixes. I'm in my 60s but have never had arthritis, no pains anywhere, even with doing MT for 30 years. I do have the Heberden's nodes on a couple fingers, but again, no pain associated with them.  But one night 2 weeks ago, I got off work and realized my left ring finger was swollen and stiff at the PIP joint. My wedding ring, which I've always been a ...

I have often wondered why it is Conservatives are called “right” while Liberals are called “left.” By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:  Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Yep, that’s it!   ...
