The left side of my face seems to be going numb now. My head feels weird when I brush or comb it. My left ear feels weird.
I can feel numbness in the left side of my neck (oh, and my neck and back hurt) and now the entire right side is numb...I can tell it's in my left leg now. Was wearing jeans today and the fabric was irritating the heck out of me. My left foot feels almost as numb as the left hand and arm. I guess I'll wait till tomorrow and call the neuro, since his office is closed now and I've probably annoyed him enough earlier this week.

If the doc. gets annoyed with you --- it's time to get another doctor. Keep calling. You need to see him ASAP. I hope it passes quickly!!! Niko

Do I really need to go see him as soon as possible? (going to see him costs money...)
It's just numbness...annoying and uncomfortable, and makes me panic sometimes, but it's just numbness.

Sorry to hear this Erin
 Maybe time for steroids... or whatever your neuro can do to help you. Best wishes, Linda |

I did ask for steroids the other day (before the side of my face numbed up, and before my left leg went numb...everything else on the left side was numb tho)
The neuro said "no". I think I'll wait a few more days and see if anything else goes weird and then call him back and ask for steroids.

well, he wanted me to wait a week or two to see if the numbness improves on it's own. Which, I thought was sort of reasonable, even tho I hate being numb, and am impatient and dont want to wait the week or two to see if it happens on it's own.
I think I can wait a little longer, even tho I feel like I'm being tortured.
