Hi all. Thank you so much for reading and advice. I'm 32 and a new mother (4 months old). I've been experiencing some interesting symptoms so I wanted to get feedback. I have read the stickys so thank you! My symptoms:
The last few months (but more noticeably the last week) I have been experiencing weird feelings in my hands. (I know this is not a symptom). But I feel like my hands have become more clumsy. I drop things (this happened last year too) but I can't tell if I am dropping them bc of weakness. Examples: I was picking up a brush today and it slipped out of my hand (almost like I hadn't gripped it well) I had a pen in my hand yesterday and I was readjusting my notebook and my pen just fell through my fingers, I had dropped my pen two other times in similar circumstances. I am having no troubles opening things, buttoning, etc. Also the majority of the time I don't drop items. My hands feel almost shaky like I've had tons of caffeine. I notice it more in my right than left.
Things to note: I have a history of anxiety and have noticed I worry much more now that I have my daughter. Since the symptoms started I have gotten much less sleep (newborn) and am carrying her more often in the arm that I feel is weaker. (Dominant side). I have an appt with my doctor next week but would love feedback.
Thank you very much!
