Your left arm is numb? Some times, I can tend to be a little hypochondriac. But my left arm has been numbish for about two days now. Nothing overly uncomfortable. Can feel it most in my hands. Those of you who have either had or know someone who has had a stroke or heart attack... This good or bad? Get it checked out? My first call of order is to cut back caffeine. I drink entirely too much caffeine. 8-10 fluid cups of coffee per day and about a 2-liter of Diet Dew, at the least.
Honestly, is this numbness in my left arm something to worry about, or is it more possible that I may have just slept on it wrong, or slightly pinched a nerve?
Before anyone says it, I've already thought about trying the Houdini.

I would guess pinched nerve. I have that from time to time if I over-do yard work or cutting wood my arm tingles and feel like it is asleep for a couple of days.
Given that you don't seem to have any other symptoms of a heart attack I guess it probably isn't that.

I have CTS, and sometimes my arm(s) will feel numb. It starts with a burning sensation in my fingers and if I'm still doing whatever it is that causes the episodes, it will creep over my whole hand and gradually up my arm. It's part of the reason that I don't work as intensely as I once did. It would start off little and then at night when I was sleeping, the pain and then the numbness would wake me right up.
I'm guessing you might also be typing alot? (lol)
But really, it could be a whole host of things. If it keeps up, I would ask the dr. about it.

Dr.'s already ruled this out. They said the numbness doesn't actually make me gay. The random sex with members of the same sex is apparently what is making me gay.

Throw in a little bit of shortness of breath as well... just while doing the damn dishes.

wait until obama care kicks in. don't pay for any medical attention yourself when there are millions of suckers being forced to pay it for you.
seriously, if you have insurance I'd go get it checked out just to be safe. heart and brain are too important. blood clots are really the silent killer.

We don't call it the Houdini. We call it the stranger.

You gotta switch it up sometimes.

Might be rigor mortis starting to set in. Looks like the zombie epidemic is starting. Hope no one at work minds when I tell them I'm taking the rest of the day off to fortify my place for the long haul.

10 of the 11 letters, minus the underscores (and I've never understood why people like to use those) in your user name are typed with the left hand.......unless you are a "hunt and pecker", but still they....oh well, never mind, I just typed "pecker"!
