I've had the numbness that tingles like it's fallen asleep. Mostly it's a loss of sensation, like someone has put my feeling of touch on "mute". Either that or Copperfield has somehow made that piece of body seem to disappear even though I can still see it!

The whole hot/cold sensation loss can be annoying. I've burnt myself a few times and never even knew it until the pain started in a minute or two later. But the happy trade off is being able to hide an ice cube in my hand before dumping it down the hubby's back without him realizing I'm even palming one.

So I totally understand the frustration trying to describe the different types, and trying to figure out when an increase in its intensity is worh a call to the doc. Hope it calms down soon.
