I'm in the same boat. Lately under my chin/neck area doesn't feel much when I shave. My left hand was good hand for past 3 years and now the pinky is losing it. Right hand no longer can tell the diff of remote control buttons. It all started in 2006 with the right side of my face numb one morning. MS followed.

I don't know what to suggest. IVSM? When I skip my daily dose of Lysine 2000mg & Fish Oil 3000mg, I think I lose more feeling. Lysine is one of the 4 aminos that Copaxone consists of. You can actually buy all 4 in regular health food store. Try it?

I just noticed that I said it was the left side of my face (where I'm talking about eating m&m's). I think the MS is making me dyslexic or something, I apparently cant tell my right from my left anymore.

It's the right side of my face, not my left.

Anyone else have problems telling their left from their right? I swear I'm doing that more and more lately.

My hair also feels weird. I feel like I cant get my hair clean anymore, or like the shampoo doesnt work any more. I guess my head is going numb and making things feel weird.

It doesnt help that my fingertips in both hands are numb and my left arm/shoulder is still weird from the flares I've had this year and it hurts to lift it up to wash my hair. At least the physical therapy is helping that.

I'm going to the gym tomorrow to do some homework on the physical therapy on the machines there. Taking my dad with me so that he can help me set the weights correctly (and to keep the die-hard gymnuts from getting mad at me for using "their" machines...I had some guy go off on me the last time I went there last month to try to do some exercises. I have a paid membership, I should be able to use it without getting harassed by the steroidheads)
