Confused OK, Just thinking out loud here (and venting).

I'm still having daily numbness from my lower ribs and down, I might stay numb all day/night or I might have days when I wake up OK and I slowly go numb derring the day. It's never so numb that I don't feel anything, I can poke my self with an end of a paper clip (or even a needle) and I don't feel pain, I can feel something touching me and if I hit my leg hard (like running into something) it might hurt but not nearly as much as it would if it wasn't numb.

Now the spinal MRI didn't show anything (I understand that lesions on the spine don't show up easily, true?). I wouldn't think I have a nerve problem in back because I don't have any nerve pain, I don't even have any tingling, just numbness that comes and goes. I don't have any pain in my back at the point numbness starts, or any where in my back.

I also don't see HOW anxiety would cause numbness to come and go in same place like this (and with it being 1/2 my body). Is there anything I can do to help show this isn't anxiety?

How long does this have to go on before a Dr thinks this ISN'T ok?

I'm trying my best to still get in the see my new PCP and than the new neuro but my kids want stop getting sick.

I see the eye Dr. tomorrow, if she says this is ON than I call the neuro than, if it's not ON, well I don't know of anything thing else that cause loss of color & vision so I'll just have to see what she says.
