Does anyone else find that their limbs "fall asleep" extremely quickly? Sometimes my legs go numb within only 30 seconds or so of crossing them, and my hands "fall asleep" very fast when held upright. Is this an EDS thing? Seems to be happening more lately.

Absolutely! I wake up sometimes and my entire arm (up to my shoulder) will be numb! It's kinda scary! š

I think its a blood circulation thing. If you have POTS or dysautonomia to any degree youre going to have difficulty with blood normally circulating in the body. Something that helps with that is movement, so if you sit for awhile it may be easier for stuff to fall asleep
I have eds and my legs and feet fall asleep pretty fast
yesss itās def an eds thing because it happens to me all the time, and i also hurts really bad sometimes.
Yes!!! No idea if itās an EDS thing, but this definitely happens to me. Also feet/toes falling asleep and staying that way for days at a time.
Mine do!
