Last night while I was reading, I fell asleep in my chair. When I awoke, my right hand was terribly weakened. I thuoght my hand had just fallwn asleep, but in the morning, my hand was still as weak. I don't have the strength to even sign my name, and I am having a terrible time typing this. I am a healthy 35 year old girl, I smoke and drink occasionally, but I have never had a problem like this. My right hand doesn't feel "asleep", but only very weak when I try to grasp things. I can't even hold a cigarette now... It's been about 24 hours now, with no improvement. Any advice? Thanks!
