Hi Ladies,

  Knock on wood, but I am entering day six of a fairly painless bladder span;) Woohoo! However, I have begun to experience some pins/needles feelings in my arms and hands.... also a sense of heaviness in my arms. Anyone else experienced this?

Each time I experience something new in my body I feel completely blind sided by it. You would think by now I would get the merry go round called IC;)

Thanks Ladies,

Katie

Ahhh, it always makes me feel better to know I am not the only one who has this crazy symptom. I will stop contemplating that it is some muscular or neurological disorder then...... ahh... the Google Dr. is very dangerous...lol. Tinkerbell-- please let me know what Dr.B says when you ask her. .. Thanks!
All of a sudden I felt like someone poured adrenaline into my body this morning and then I felt like I had pins and needles all up and down my right arm.. What the heck!?
Take care,
Katie

Thanks Deir! How are you feeling? I have been thinking about you;) The heaviness feeling is really strange, because my little one is growing and I carried her all around for Trick or Treat last night so ... reasonable to think I might be a little sore in my arms, but it feels different... like someone put lead on my arms and then put my fingers to sleep. Just started on Sunday so I am hoping it will subside in a day or two. 
Dr.B thought it may be a side effect of the heart medication too... so we shall see. Can't wait until I can get off the medication!
Take care,
Katie

Right now my bladder has been feeling good for the past 2 weeks, I have been following the diet very strictly and that really helps. Just occasional urethra burning now and then.
But I do feel that my arms, hands, legs, and feet have been falling asleep all the time. Especially in the middle of the night, I wake up yelling ahh my hand fell asleep (or whatever limb fell asleep).
