Thumb Cramps

Submitted by Seruzies on Wed, 2008-01-23 - 09:09
My right thumb is numb right now, and I recently had a BAD seizure. I don't know why it's numb, but I assumed it was because I had hit something when I was thrashing about during my seizure. I've never experienced this before, I'd like to hear if anyone else has problems such as this. I don't recall my seizure starting with my thumb.
