My numbness is: I cannot feel vibration with my eyes closed when my neurologist tests me for numbness.
I have it on my right side, in patches, from hip to the end of my toes. I have it on my left side from my knee down. Again, in patches.
Mine never goes away and it is caused by a peripheral neuropathy, although treated, cannot be reversed.
I have tingling in my right side from the top of my head down to the numb patches. But, only on my right side, not on my left.
