My right arm is completly numb and I panic out of my bed sometimes. The reason is that I fall asleep on my shoulder and sometimes it takes a minute til it functions again.

Last night I fell asleep again and woke up and it it took longer than usual to get it back to moving. I started crying and was totally panic mode.

Is this something that can cause long term issues if this happens frequently or should I change the way I sleep? Can I ignore it?

      Medical debt is an eminently more solvable problem than death or permanent disability. This is not a defense of America’s fucking criminal private medical system, but this is absolutely a valid lesser of two evils situation here.

        You can always seek todo like me and many other people born in 3rd world and migrate to 1st world country.

        If you’re in US I hear Canada is a great place to move to, and easy too. I hear they have the freedom of good cheap healthcare. I would trade the freedom to have Nazis with that any day.

          Depends on where in Canada.

          Yes it’s free.

          In Toronto you’re looked after and it’s the dream.

          In Quebec a doctor will happily step over you if you don’t speak French.

          In BC: sure, the medical is free. But good luck finding a doctor.

          And in the small print: Oh but actually they don’t see teeth or eyes as a real issue that gets covered. If you need a root canal just take an advil. Forever.

          Canada’s national defense, GDP, and import/export economies are completely reliant on USA. Living in that shadow should scare Canadians, because if USA decides one day “you know what? Fuck Canada”, there’s literally nothing they can do to defend themselves if the entire might of US military and economic power is imposed. It’s like having an unhinged wealthy gun-nut neighbor living in the flat right next to you.

            There’s not a lot most people could do if the USA decided to impose the entire might of their military and economic power.

            With the exception that US military is comprised by many Canadians(Eg NORAD) in a deal that they don’t do exactly that. The ‘US’ military will easily be halved by a chunk of it killing the other for even suggesting it.
