What would cause me to loose feeling in my thumb, index and middle finger on my left hand? i woke up and they were numb this morning and still are.

Nerve issue: This sounds like a nerve issue. Either it was positional when you or sleeping, and it is likely the same nerve, median, that carpal tunnel can affect, or a nerve from your neck or shoulder coming down. Typically this does resolve over time. I would recommend an evaluation if it does not.
