[QUOTE="SiGreenwood, post: 96226, member: 13141"] I get a lot of the symptoms you describe. On my right hand I get a pinched finger feeling which comes and goes, it feels like it should be numb but isn't, and moves about from finger to finger but never the thumb. This usually prsents itself early morning and stays with me until evening. I also get burning on the back of my hands, my arms and also my shins, it's a very similar feeling to sun burn. I don't get the head rush feeling that you describe but I do get times when the veins on my arms and hands seem to bulge out for no apparent reason. This usually happens in the afternoon or evening. My GP told me that the because the finger problem is only on one hand it isn't related to my Diabetes as it would be symetrical and would also be present in my feet, which it isn't, I don't have any problem with my feet. My Diabetes specialist said it wasn't Neuropathy for the same reasons as my GP and that it could just be because I've tightened up on my control recently. The Neurologist said (My GP referred me to him thinking the finger feeling might be a pinched nerve) that he didn't think the finger problem was Diabetes related and when I asked him about the burning he said it was probably anxiety but that when I have the Electrical response test this will show once and for all if I have Neuropathy or a trapped nerve problem. Personally I'm convinced it is Diabetes related but my control is really good so I don't know what else I can do about it :( If your GP tells you anything could you let me know. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
