Observations on Auras: Hand Numbness
One of the aura effects that I have been getting for several decades has been a progressing numbness that slowly passes diagonally across the palm of one hand in a wave. The absence of touch and pain sensation is complete. I can poke the affected area with a sharp object and feel absolutely nothing. I recently observed by chance that the ability to sense temperature is completely unaffected in the area that has gone numb. The temperature sensitivity remains so acute that I can sense the warmth of my breath with my numb fingertips. Has anyone else noticed this? If there is anyone else out there who gets numbness auras, please try checking your sensitivity to heat and cold.
What an interesting observation,
! I've been trying to search to see if we have any other community members who have mentioned this - the numb area still sensing temperatures - but haven't had any success. Hopefully others who experience numbness/tingling can share if they too have noticed temperature sensitivity unaffected by the numbness. I'm curious, have you mentioned this to your doctor at all? Have they said anything or had an explanation for this? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member) This effect is probably something you have to specifically look for. I happened to stumble upon it by chance. I have occasionally had this hand numbness for over 25 years and never noticed the temperature sensitivity effect before.
I will mention it to my doc at my next appointment in a couple of months.
