Welcome to NeuroTalk.


I have some questions for you. Do you take B12 now? what form and in what doses. When were you tested last, most recently.

There are some things that cause numb tingling sensations in the face. One is sleeping on a hard pillow or putting weight on that side of the face all night--resulting in compression of nerves.
Clenching teeth will also compress nerves. A tooth in the upper part of the mouth on that side that is "going bad" or dying will do it.

People with very low Vit D do not absorb calcium well, and hence get numbness and tingling in the face, lips as a warning sign.

If you had a B12 deficiency in the past you may most likely still have it.
Here is my B12 informational thread explaining methylcobalamin and with medical links explaining that you should have at least a level of 400 (US still has low lab ranges considered normal--below that--which can lead to neurological symptoms.
