Thank you so much for sharing this story, Deane:

I play golf often (until now) and sufferred a mild case of heat exhaustion recently. Before that, I had been having trouble with my neck and shoulders. Approximately one week after the heat stroke, I began to have a tingling sensation in the middle three fingers of both hands.

I'm now scheduled for an MRI and a visit to a nearby Neurologist within the next few weeks. The VA doctor prescribed a capsule regimen of Gabopentin and I've only been taking it one week but will begin doubling up immediately after visiting my regular doctor today. So far, I have not experienced problems with my forearms and I hope we've caught this thing in time.

Your warning gives me a mixed blend of hope and concern. Until the weather here begins to cool down, I'll play golf only early in the day and probably only nine holes... if at all.

My medical team also ruled out Carpal Tunnel from preliminary tests but the Neurologist is still waiting in the wings with that painful procedure you endured.

Thanks again for making us aware.

Best wishes for a speedy and successful recovery.
