Hmmm... sounds MAYBE like it could be bells palsy??? - I came down with that, about a month and a half, before I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; didn't know it, but bells palsy was actually only a "symptom" - not an actual cause of something, and that the bells palsy that I had in MY case, was a symptom of my neurological systems coming under attack, from the MS. Hmmm... very perplexing.
I know that my own internal medicine dr didn't notice the possibility for multiple sclerosis, when he diagnosed me with bells palsy, two may's ago. Is there any problem with your speech? Anything like that? Am just curious, as to what is causing the numbness on the side of your body, and your face...

My brain looks fine. No evidence of stroke or tumor.
I'll be undergoing an EEG, and blood tests, but even the Neurolgist is perplexed. It started 5 days ago and getting worse.
Any ideas???
Thanks!
