Posted on Wed, 6 Jan 2016
Question: the last two time I was in my period, idk if that has anything to do with it or just coincidence, but about like once or twice a day my arms from the elbow down would kind of get numb, like how your arms feel if they are above your head too long or when your foot falls asleep.
