Joined: May 2008 Posts: 219 | Yesterday my left arm and hand (from the elbow down to fingers) went clumsy and numb feeling when I awoke. I couldn't even hold a cup of coffee or allow me to type. Today it is a little better but very clumsy feeling and uncordinated. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Thank you, Angel
