For weeks, maybe even months, after building that wall I would wake up in the nights several times and my hand and most of my arms would be completely numb. You could have set fire to them and I wouldn't have felt a thing! It was diagnosed as repetitive stress injury (no surprise there) and ever after that when I do anything repetitive, like sanding in my woodshop or waxing our vehicles I still can get the numbness though not as severe as it used to be.
TR - do you think upping the dose of TB-500 would be beneficial?
