do anyone’s hands just randomly tingle. it doesn’t happen that often but this morning i woke up and my left hand is tingling and it has lasted a couple hours and is still happening. the only time this usually happens is when i am showering. sometimes while i shower the tips of my fingers will tingle but then it will go away once i’m done showering. just want to know if this has happened to anyone before. it isn’t painful or disabling or anything. just annoying

Yes!! This has been happening to me on the left alot lately....no rhyme or reason either. Ive been paying attention to see if I'm doing something to make it happen but it just comes on out of nowhere. Is this a common lupus thing?? I'm fairly new to being diagnosed so I'm learning as I go. This is def the most informative website tho, better than anything google has to offer and honestly better than my dr....looking for a new one tho!

Tingling in one or both hands can be associated with lupus and may be due to several factors:

1. Peripheral Neuropathy:
- Damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.
- Symptoms include tingling, pain, or numbness in hands and feet.

2. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
- Inflammation from lupus can put pressure on the median nerve.
- Symptoms include numbness and tingling in the index, middle, and ring fingers, which may spread to the forearm and shoulder.

3. Raynaud’s Phenomenon:
- Reduced blood flow due to inflammation in nerves or blood vessels.
- Can cause tingling and a cool sensation, primarily in the fingers.

If you experience these symptoms, it's important to discuss them with your doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
