Summary
Lake 81689 had nerve problems in the arms: a burning sensation in the forearms and a right forearm that felt chronically stiff, plus palpitations and head fullness. They took H1 and H2 antihistamines and atenolol for palpitations; the antihistamines made them sleepy at first but eased head fullness and fatigue. The nerve symptoms were less bad at the time of writing but still came and went.
