I had numbness and tingles in my hands and at times in my legs also.  For me, light excercise and a massage worked wonders.  If I didn't have the energy for that, I would just move to a different couch for a few days.

Hang in there.  It does get better and it is worth it.

I took my last riba 5 days ago and I cannot believe how much better I feel already.

I had carpal tunnel symptoms of numbness and aches and it was my thyroid (or lack there of) which ceased to work because of interferon.  Now that I am on synthroid the symptoms disappeared.  The endo told me that it was a common symptom...

For the first few months of tx I had numbness in my hands all the time.  After that the numbness was just a few days after the shot.  I am off tx now for a week and their is no numbness at all.

During the middle of my treatment, I would wake up in the middle of the night with numb hands/arms that would go away by shaking my arms.  It lasted a month or two.  I'm currently in week 44 and it's not a problem now.

Thanks......starting to feel like a hypochondriac......starts getting depressing

My hands would get numb when I was lying on my back.  I thought it was tx related but it turns out I have some shoulder damage on the left, and a pinched nerve in my right elbow.

Some people complain of neuropathy during tx. I think it usually resolves when tx ends.
