Quick fix for this?
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 11:09 PM by HypnoToad
Neck stiffness and pain
Weakened arms, harder to lift things
Fingers and sometimes feet go numb
Harder to use keyboard
Harder to play with my pet parrot
Fine trembling. Had occurred before I started zoloft; if anything, zoloft is exacerbating it.

Am cracking neck and lower spine joints to ease pain and am increasing walking/general mobility

But, especially over the last month, my arms feel entirely different; weaker.

Maybe I need not worry about not having a retirement fund for much longer?

1. could be compressed nerve endings in thoracic spine
that can cause the numbness and tingling in extremeties exp hands

Zoloft can exacerbate a fine tremor, check w/ your doctor. It also passes after a while.
