My legs and feet go numb more than my hands. Its hard to walk when you cant feel where your feet are landing. My hands have gone numb before and I burned myself while trying to cook. I just let my dh take care of the hot when my hands go dead on me. Its the only thing I can do. I dont take any meds for the numbness, didnt really know there was anything out there for it. I just muttle thru it. The only time so far Ive been scared of the numbness is when my entire right side of my face and head and neck went numb. It was horrible. The feeling came back a few hours later.
