Anyone else have their limbs falling asleep way more than usual. My hands, legs, feet, arms, all fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I had this last time I did atkins too. I have this weird feeling though it may not be atkins related but my weight loss that is bringing it out and its something that was already an issue since I had this problem only lesser before atkins but wanted to check first.

Re: strange symptom...
I've never had it happen. You should ask a doctor about it. -
Re: strange symptom...
Can't say I've ever heard of this related to Atkins. Maybe a little trip to the doc's wouldn't come amiss and would probably put your mind at rest.Before and after:

Re: strange symptom...
Can be a symptom of low thyroid.People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

Re: strange symptom...
Yep taking a low-carb vitamin with no iron. Had my thyroid checked last time this was happeneding coincidentally last time I started atkins.
As I have been starting to run and exercise more, I have been having less problems with it. Weird.
When I was telling my brother about it he made a smart a** comment about it saying "Maybe you just need to move them more" insinuating all I do is sit still all day, haha.
He was only kidding but maybe that is helping. Can get in with my Dr for a week or so but im curious to ask.
Is there something besides the vitamin im supposed to be taking? I was taking a calcium supplement too but I ran out, gotta get more.Mindy

Re: strange symptom...
There are a bunch listed in the book but I take a vitamin pack from Costco that is Kirkland's brand. It has this in it:
1 multivitamin/multimineral
1 vitamin E (200 iu)
1 Asian ginseng
1 B50 vitamins
2 calcium (500 mg)
I would like to add in B12 shots like they give at Lindora but now if I go to Mexico to get them, I can't get back because I don't have a passport.

Re: strange symptom...
I know it sounds funny, but your brother is probably on to the cause. Your circulation is down, so when you run or excercise, it causes it to increase, thus decreasing the pins and needles sensation. I have it too sometimes, and when I move around more it goes away on its own. WIsh the carpal tunnel numbness was so easy to tame =)~If there was a Laziness Union, I'd be their Jimmy Hoffa.
