I am in the 3rd week of a cycle. I was out of town yesterday, at the airport gate waiting for my plane when a particularly brutal ch hit. I had rented o2 for my hotel room (but had not needed it) but was without at the airport. I had not had any bad ch for almost 2 weeks, thanks to prednisone, but yesterday was the first day I was off...
Anyway, for the first time, during this attack, my both of my hands went numb. This scared me a bit. The airline insisted on calling EMTs (I was dealing with the ch in the usual, frantic manner in a very public place and I am sure they thought I had a tumor or something). The EMTs insisted I go by ambulance to the ER. The doc suggested I might have been hyperventalating which may have caused the numbness. I got a later flight home, after I got a note from the ER doctor saying I could fly.
My question, did the numbness result from the ch, or otherwise?

No, in 27 years that has never happen to me.
In the 3 years ive been on this board im pretty sure I never read about that, just be glad you were not 33,000 feet in the air when it happened.

I have not heard of this before either but I'm thinking that maybe because you were in such a public place that you paniced and did hyperventilate.
Hope you feel better now...

Sounds like the numbness was brought on by panic. You had a CH attack in a busy, public place. It is understandable. I would still get that checked out with your GP.

Welcome and sorry you got hit like that.
So far, I think there have been almost no mentions of numbness related to CH. I too, think it's anxiety or panic related.
It may be like a childhood seizure that happens only once in life. Hope so anyway.
Stick around. You'll find good stuff here.
