i went to the medical centre today. i went at 10:50am and they said there would be a wait until 1pm. so I went to Coral's for a cup of tea.
I went back at 1pm and Natalie met me there, we went in and luckily i was in to see the dr soon after. I told him about the numbness and pain in my hands and also about the poor circulation. He couldn't really tell what was causing it so i have to get a 'c-spine' X-ray - i think the x-ray is to check for some sort of arthritis in my neck. I also have to get some blood taken - they doing tests with names like: fbc/esr, euc/lft, bsl, fe studies, rf, ana, rrv and bfv. I think that includes a iron test, diabetes, arthritis, and i forget the others - i looked them up online but it just started freaking me out. the dr even suggested it could be a carpal tunnel syndrome type thing. or something to do with the ulner nerve.
i hope it's something little.
Good luck. I hope you find out what it is soon. Not knowing sucks.
