Just a quick note to say hi! have you learned anything more about the problem with your hands? I too have this problem. My hands not only fall asleep at night but the problem goes far beyond the pins and needles feeling they go dead alseep (no feeling at all). I've had so many tests I can not count them all. mri, ct scans, SHOCK ZAPING not the technical name. They still have no cluse as to what the problem is. massage seems to help a little but only helps for a few days. I think it has something to do with my shoulder but the docs don't seem to agree.
