hands feet numb

every night i wake up and my hands and feet are painfully numb?!?

I had this, too. It was the worst in 2012. The numbness was on both hands and would go up my arms. I had carpel tunnel- like symptoms too, although it wasn't true carpel tunnel. (That's actually come back somewhat in the last week.) In 2012, I was given a wrist thing to wear on the right hand, which was the worst. Wore it for 2 weeks and it worked. I wore it again after that for brief periods when it flared up again. I would try to relax my hands and keep them down by my side, but I don't remember if it did much good. Seems like sleeping with my head elevated helped some.

My hands fall asleep a lot more easily at night than they used to, but in my case it's a positional thing like curling my hands under my pillow and head. This rarely happened before and from what I've read is attributable to bart, lyme or one of the co-infections. Getting older could have something to do with it, but I never had circulation issues until bart came along.

My lower legs from the knees down started doing this as well when in certain positions at night, but that has mostly faded away now with treatment.
