    If it was cramp you would probably get it in your calf muscles as well, i would be tempted to say circulation or blood pressure both of which are related.

    Pop down to Boots and get it tested! I have high blood pressure and i know when it is high as i get tingling in my hands and fingers but not cramp!
    I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?

    Sounds like a circulation issue. I would see a doctor if I were you and get your blood pressure checked. You comming back for the Xmas dinner? x

    Sounds like Circulation to Me.
    I reckon it takes 2 to 3 Weeks to Acclimatise properly.
    Blood runs thicker the Colder it is.
    If concerned I would say visit a Doctor to make sure ...
    But, If You have been in a warm Shower or workplace thats warm, does it still Happen ?

    Absolutely!

    As a nurse Kaz I will tell you that your symptoms could be suggestive of quite a few illnesses some major a few minor. I would not begin to tell you what I think it might be. The only person who can tell you is a doctor when they examine you.

    SO GET YOUR ASS TO A DOCTOR NOW!

    P.S Are you sure psycho bear isn't putting arsenic in your tea?
