Hand cramps and sensitive nerves in your hands can be distressing, especially if they disturb your sleep. These symptoms might be related to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which can be an early sign of hATTR amyloidosis. Here are some steps you can take:

- Consult Your Doctor: It's crucial to talk to your doctor about your symptoms. They can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
- Manage CTS Symptoms: If CTS is confirmed, treatments may include wrist splints, physical therapy, or medications to reduce inflammation.
- Adjust Daily Activities: Avoid activities that exacerbate your symptoms, and take frequent breaks to rest your hands.
- Sleep Position: Try to keep your wrists in a neutral position while sleeping to reduce pressure on the nerves.

If you have other symptoms of hATTR amyloidosis, such as muscle weakness or gastrointestinal issues, make sure to mention these to your doctor as well.
