I have been suffering from having my arm fall asleep.

MY arm becomes temporarily paralyzed, but it's only on one side..my other arm does fall asleep, but not in the same way.

It starts with a heavy sensation at my elbow and goes halfway up my arm. My arm goes to sleep and if I am holding something like the remote control? It falls out of my hand as I lose the feeling in my hand.

It does happen when I am lying on my side, I am not lying on my arm when this happens.

I do get the feeling back when I get the cat to move......

------------------

The Edster got a haircut and because the house is kept relatively cool, he has become a snuggle-bug. If I go to the mancave and stretch out, he's in there and climbs up on the bed. After about 3-4 minutes of stepping, sniffing, stretching?

He climbs onto my arm and hangs his front legs over my bicep, near my elbow.

If I try to dislodge him from 'his' space, he vocalizes a lusty objection and he get to stay...until my arm goes numb and whatever I have in my hand falls.

--------------

Sometimes we both drift off - after I toss a blankie over us - and I wake up with an arm that won't work for the rest of the day..

-------

If I get lucky, the Edster will get up before my arm goes to sleep....If not?

I keep a bag of Temptations handy.
