fingers tingling

Has anyone else had problems with their fingers tingling during or after treatment?

My fingers tingle and become numb when I become anemic on treatment.  Although there can be many causes.  Are you on treatment?  Do you know what your hemoglobin is?

I'm post tx 2 months. I don't know what my homoglobin # is but my dr said all my blood work looked good. I wonder if it could be anxiety?? But it's my left side fingers only so i have no idea. It seems like nothing will ever be the same since tx.

I have that occasionally also but just on the top skin of the left hand. Not on the right.

Yes, I also had it throughout treatment, then it stopped and has recently become a problem again (toes too).  I recently found out that my cryoglobulins are elevated, and that neuropathy and joint pains may be due to that.  Hopefullly, yours will be a transient sx... Be  well !

yes, i have it too,in my fingers and to a lesser extent my toes. started a few weeks after beginning tx. my doc says it's a neuropathy that is a sx of tx. he said it goes away for most who get it by 3 months after tx ends. it can be pretty annoying at times. applying heat (via heating pad or warm water) helps temporarily.

I had it bad on treatment too.  Pretty common problem.  It was so bizarre feeling, I remember that!

oh boy talk about it.  i got it 20 minutes after my first pegasys shot, it escalated into burning all over and then my breathing got constricted.
never had it again on tx.

now 3 months post tx, i get it again, though its only 10 percent of its previous self.
