Spirulina (I think).

For about two months now, I've been feeling this general weakness and a slight stiffness in my fingers. Honestly, I can barely feel anything—it's like the tips of my fingers have gone numb. While these symptoms seem minor, the actual consequences are pretty obvious.😬
I'm 47, which isn't exactly old, but I certainly wasn't expecting to deal with tremors at this stage of life.
It's even becoming an issue at work because my grip just... slips.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on?

Your best bet is to get a referral to a physiatrist or a rheumatologist and go see one.
Initially, you could be looking at Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the early stages of arthritis in the small joints of the hand, or potentially Brachial Plexus issues caused by degeneration in the cervical spine affecting nerve signals to the arm. Regardless, this isn't something you should take lightly. You really need to look into your family medical history to see if there's a pattern of similar diagnoses. It would be wise to get a rheumatoid factor test and some X-rays of your neck and hands. Don't start any medication until you hear from a doctor, but in the meantime, try doing some light hand exercises or even kneading dough for baking🙂 to help keep the joints mobile. It’s also worth considering the type of physical work you do, as repetitive motions can accelerate wear and tear on joint cartilage.

Can anyone give me their honest take on Spirulina?
Does anyone have recommendations on which brand I should look for, or does it really not matter which one I pick?
