<s>[INST] Hello, I was awakened by tingling in my arms & hands. I was laying on them. It s been an hour & the feeling is still present though not as intense. I have had this problem for about 2 years now. I ve had blood tests & x-rays but nothing has been determined. I have what appear to be enlarged & puffy/thick veins in my inner thighs. I experience tingling in my finger tips & toes. My finger pads stay depressed during these times. I am anemic. I just found out my cholesterol is 243. I have not been told I have diabetes though my levels are sometimes borderline. [/INST] Hi, I am Dr.Bruno.  I have read your question and understand your concerns.
