Default Numb right cheek

Hi All

I'm new hear and feeling a little frustrated at the moment.

About 20 years ago I was given a diagnosis of ME. I trundled along with my symptoms or pain, tiredness etc and then a year ago everything got suddenly worse, new symptoms appearing over time, pins and needles, spasms, weakness, vertigo, blurred vision and headaches. Tightness around bottom of ribs.

I had tons of blood tests which were fine and saw a neuro who did some tests on my reflexes and said it was Functional Neurological Disorder and discharged me back to the doctor. I have not had any other tests.

I am on Pregabilin, amitriptyline and Prozac.

My walking is very impaired due to pain and being so dizzy and for the last week I have had a numb patch on my right cheek (cheek bone area) that is constant. I am reluctant to go to the doctor because everything seems to be put down to FND.

Anyone else ehere with FND or can anyone advise on how long I should leave the numb cheek before seeing a doctor?

Thanks for reading

AJ
