Hi Frank
I'm sorry you're feeling so crummy. Sally gave you some really good info and I agree with what she said.

For me my right side is my weaker side, but my left side is quietly numb. Actually I'm numb from top to toes now. It just "appears" more painful to me on the right side.

I have several spinal leisions and only a couple in the noggin. One of them predisposes me to siezures.

Just hang in there. The steroids are supposed to work, but my experience is the numbness (sensory sx) just has to run it's course and so I forgo the steroids as much as I can.

I had a terrible headache for 3 weeks back in July. I could swear it was like the one after my spinal tap. It only seems to improve when I was horizontal. I hope your headache wanes.

Take advantage of the roids and you can start and finish your spring cleaning tonight. I don't mean to make light of your sx, but I find it easier to laugh at this MesS. Feel better soon.
