Hi,

So sorry to hear you're having numbness like that.

I agree it could be stress and it could be more

No ins is a bummer. That will cause a lot of stress in itself.

MRIs are not 100%. They are slices. What did they MRI?

A CAT scan with dye may be more definitive. Could be circulation related.

Losing taste is not common for stress related issue, nor mental problems. Hubby hassle a stroke, concussion and broke his C1. He has lost his taste. It is slowly returning, but we know he had a stroke. Not knowing can be the most frustrating part. I pray you find answers and get the help you need.

Vitamin deficiency can cause lots of problems...

We are not doctors and this sounds like you definitely need a good doctor. In our area, we have free clinics that do take people's complaints serious and can get some tests done and out of the way.

Look around our other forums for information but do find a good doctor or healthcare provider soon.
