Arms Falling Asleep

Temple · 05-30-2001, 01:10 PM

I know I have read something about this before but can't find it with a search. The anavar is doing its job and I am gaining size pretty fast esp in my arms. In the last week I am having trouble sleeping because my arms keep falling asleep which wakes me up. If I keep lifting heavy will this just get worse or will my body adjust eventually?

Mine have never adjusted and I wake up constantly with my circulation cut off in my arms. Sleeping while hugging a firm pillow will reduce it, but I am still waking up when I let go of it. Sleeping and holding a hotty is pretty cool too.

Oh yeah, I sleep on my back a lot more now.

as far as the prescription route goes, you could get Celebrex. It'll handle carpal tunnel problems, as well as osteo arthritis.
It was the only thing Ive taken that could get me through the night. For me it progressed from what you described to the point where it was blinding pain!

Mine haven't adjusted either. I too now just sleep on my back and the prob is no longer a prob. As a bonus I no longer wake up with a stiff neck either.

Sleep on my back huh???? This whole process has changed the way I do everything else, might as well change the way I sleep too.

My arms fell asleep at the slightest incline and I woke up all night long. It went away when the Primo wore off. I really hated it and the only way to get comfortable was on my back, with my arms on 2 pillows that elevated them to the same height as my body.

I could not let them be higher or lower. I could not hang my arm in the car window. They never actually feel asleep, just got that pre-sleep numbness, which the doc told me is nerve based.
Muscle was growing faster than tendons, etc and was causing the muscle to press against the nerves. YIKES!!! That sucked!!

Yup, I had the same thing when I first started both cycles of Deca... For about the first month my arms AND legs ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS fell asleep if I left them in one spot to long. Really sucked and made me have insomnia worse than I probably would have. It will go away, it did at least with me... but it takes a while. My suggestion, like everyone elses, is to sleep on your back. Makes it a little easier.
