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.

last night me and my friend were at a volleyball game and all of a sudden she started getting numb in her fingers and her head started to really hurt and she siad she got dizzy. then the numbness spread and eventually it was like her arms down to her knees and she said it really hurt to move her arms and so she would stop moving her arms and she felt like they were stuck and she couldn't move them so she'd try to move them and they'd start to really hurt agian. she said that she was still dizzy. i wanted to get a security gaurd just because i thought we should get someone but i told her to stay and she wouldn't let me go. she said it just kept getting worse when i kept asking her if she felt any better but she refused to let me get anyone. it went on for like 20 minutes and started wearing off in about two minutes but her fingers were still numb about 10 min. later. what could've happened?
o, were both 14 and she said it was probably because all she ate was pizza that day even though that never happened before and she gets dehidrated. or used to. but her friend just told her something that should've upset her a few hours earlier but she didn't seem too upset. can that have to do with it? basically is she ok?

Her symptoms definitely do not sound as though they are related to what she ate and although it could be dehydration, it sounds more like a twinged nerve in the neck or back or similar. You haven't said whether you were playing in the game or just watching it but having looked on the net for the symptoms, it seems that you can get these symptoms from sitting in the same position for a long time or from accidentally hurting a nerve in the neck or back somehow.
This sounds like the most likely reason for what happened but she should see a doctor to be on the safe side, as it is always better to seek a professional diagnosis if something like this happens.
For more information, the website I came across with the listed symptoms and possible causes is:
