Wish me luck--going to doc

This isn't at all about marriage, it's just one that I chose for a topic.
Ya'll remember when I posted about numbness/tingling in my feet?  Well, I bit the bullet and I'm going to the doc tomorrow at 10:30.  All ye who know me, know that I am a freak, so I'm scared to death.  I've looked online (stupid, I know)and I could have everything from a back problem to MS to ALS to who knows what else.  Fortunately, I only have the one symptom.  Nothing else is going on.  Maybe its a pinched nerve or something.
Just thought I'd get my good friends here to say a prayer or two that it's nothing---I have two small kids and I need to stay healthy to take care of them.  Besides, if I'm sick, I can't possibly stay on the computer for so long---

Thanks, Who, you're the one that convinced me.

Love to you all--

dont you worry about a thing! besides the numbness/tingling is in your feet, not your hands so you can still type here on the computer! i am sure its something simple (not enough circulation..) but once the dr. sees you, let us know how it went.

glad2bamom,

I hope you have a good visit with your physician. I also sometimes get tingling in my feet if I have them crossed and/or my arms - from lying on them. I think mine is from inflammation. From what I'm reading on these boards, it sounds like it is becoming more common. I've also heard that people can get tingling from a vitamin B deficiency, diabetes, thyroid (mentioned) or a herniated disk. Lack of blood supply, as well can cause tingling/numbness.

There can be lots of reasons, but it's important to rule out the big ones first.  Then you can concentrate on if it's something obscure.  

I'm sorry if I made you worry, though.  Post later!
