How Would You Describe Your Numbness?
Describing numbness is hard sometimes. For the past couple of days my hands, well actually parts of my hands, feel what I describe as numb. But I don't know if that's the right word to describe it. I have patches that don't feel like they are there, or cold, or slightly tingling. Or maybe it's not tingling just vibrations. Just not quite like a vibration. It's a weird sensation and I'm having a tough time describing it. It's annoying.
Of course, this morning I woke up and couldn't walk well at all. Extremely wobbly legs and needing to use the walls to walk. Needless to say, I may be heading in to a flare. So I sat here and thought how the heck do I describe my hands if, and that's a big if, I call the neuro. And then I thought, how do you all describe your numbness. Lack of sensation? Tingling? Can't feel textures? Hot? Cold? I can be numb but not feel any tingling. I just don't feel anything and I get it a lot in my rib cage with the hug, which is most of the time. This is slightly different and I'm having a hard time putting words to it.
