I have actually re-introduced bone broth into my diet. I am making root vegetable soups almost every night.  And I am pescatarian.  I have always eaten seafood.  They are leaning towards neuropothy as well at the er.  They prescribed me a medication designed for ppl with neuropothy that should help with the numbness at night.  Even though I am usually against pills, when it's beginning to feel life-threatening I will take the Western approach's help.

Many things can cause neuropothy but one of them is injury to a nerve.  

I have another doctor's visit in an hour and then seeing an ENT specialist Monday.  I want to pretty much demand we begin going the route of thoroughly investigating my left chest, armpit and neck as I am almost 100% certain the answer lays in there.

And yes, I started noticing at least a couple years ago that I could not lift my left arm above my head for too long before it started falling asleep.  Whenever I fall asleep at night I always raise my arms above my head.  It got to a point where I could no longer do that.  And I began waking up more and more often to my left arm completely asleep and it began getting harder and harder to wake it up. It was very scary.

Can't you make up some excuse to get them to check your chest and armpit area? Like say you wore a tight bra regularly and didn't think it was that a big deal. You noticed the arm circulation going funny since then but didn't think it had something to do with that.
