This is not really the case with me. When I sleep on my arm, I can pick it up with my other arm and it’s hella heavy. I used to drop it onto my face because it was crazy how it would land so forking hard.

But motor function came back before the tingly feeling left. I suspect that the tingly feeling, while it feels crazy, it’s not all your neurons, if it were it would hurt a lot more, like having the limb shredded or something. So maybe your neurons are at 80% but it feels like zero

Molecules have slight positive and negatively charged areas on them. Single bonds can rotate more or less freely assuming the parts they are attached to aren’t too big and hit each other. So it’s almost like they are slightly flexible magnetic rotatable chunky things, and the way they fit into a receptor, (also a chunky magnetic flexible thjng) is by their positive and negative areas matching up with negative and positive areas of the receptor.

It sounds like it would take forever, like it must take so much vibrating around for the exact molecule among millions to slot into place, but molecule speeds are insane, they move FAST. There are enzymes that can grab a molecule, break it apart, let the pieces go, and repeat with s new one…60,000 times in a second.

Lol I tried to make a quick answer ha
