I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.

I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.

Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.

I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

ok for the past week my body has been gettin knome(sp?)( i cant feel it) and even when i am walking it happens. it does this with my hands and my feet.

is it possible that i am a diabetic? or that i can possible have high blood pressure?

Actually, if you are experiencing numbness, this is something I would associate more with anaemia than anything else. This is when the iron in your bloody gets low because you aren't absorbing it sufficiently from food. I have suffered from this badly myself in the past and suffered with the numbness when I was walking or when I stood up. My legs would give way under me when I was walking along for quite some time before i was diagnosed.

Although this is one possibility, there are a number of other possible reasons for what you are experiencing so you should speak to your Doctor. However, to set your mind at rest, it's not something most commonly associates with Diabetes, of which the main symptoms are extreme thirst and frequent trips to the loo. It's also not a common symptom of high blood pressure.
