Default Numb face, dangers?

The right side of my face has been numb since friday afternoon. I'm wondering if there's anything I need to be worried about having a numb face.

I know that I have to watch out for hot foods, since I might not feel it burning me immediately.

Are there any other dangers I need to watch out for??


Geeze, MS really really sucks!

When my face was numb, I would always bite my cheek, when eating...OUCHHHHHH!

Yeah, I would always bite the inside of my cheek. Hope you get better soon.

well, that explains the chomping on my cheek...which I'd been doing a few weeks ago, before my face went numb...which makes me wonder if it was already going numb way back then and I'm just now noticing it.

There's also numbness around the orbit of my eye, and my eye feels really dry now...and my nose on that same side feels weird.

Hopefully this will go away and wont get to the point of trigeminal neuralgia with the pain that I've read about from that.

Just when I thought the MS couldnt get any weirder. I'm just getting tired of new crap happening every few weeks.

The numbness I was experiencing back in May seems to be coming back now too. Not. cool. at. all.

I'd bite my cheek or inside of my lips, sometimes really hard and repeatedly. It still happens once in awhile. Or I'd sound seriously drunk when speaking.

Before I noticed the numbness in my face, I felt like I was having problems speaking. Kind of like after eating really cold ice cream.

I asked my dad if I was speaking normally last night, he said I'd sounded totally normal to him.


My face around my eye orbits kind of feels really weird this morning. My eye is watering a bunch, and it kind of aches...I'm really kind of worried that this is going to end up being painful.

I just woke up and my right hand is all sausage fingers...my face feels like it's not really my face on the right side. My lower lip feels big on one side. My tongue feels kind of weird and I have this taste in my mouth that wont go away.

I really hope this isnt affecting my sense of taste. Does that happen??
