I had a fever from an infection in my mouth (had dental work, got the infection after) earlier this month or at the end of last month.

The fever, I guess, made my right foot really numb. Like the dentist stabbed me in the foot with the needle full of novocaine numb. Went to my neuro, because I thought it was a new symptom. My neuro told me that I needed to learn the difference between pseudo-exacerbation and an actual exacerbation. (I thought I knew this already)

He said because I'd told him I had numbness in my feet once, that this was a pseudo-ex because I'd had numbness in my feet before. I have had numbness in my feet before, but never anything to the extent that I had when I saw him. I couldnt feel my toes. Before, it had always just been a light, tingly numb sensation, but I could still feel stuff. This was a near total numbness.

This was at the end of March, or the beginning of April. Saw the Neuro on the first (un-Happy April Fool's Day for me!) and he said for me to ride it out since he thought it was a pseudo and not a real exacerbation. I'm thinking he was wrong. Because here I am, end of the month, no fever, and my foot has still had some numbness. I can tell it's resolving itself somewhat, but it's taken weeks for it to get to that point. Yesterday it was pretty numb. Today it's better than it's been.

I think if it had been a pseudo, it would have gone away after the fever had resolved.

It's starting to get warm where I live (Nebraska) so I guess I'll know pretty soon if I'm heat sensitive or not. I think I am somewhat, but just not sure how sensitive.
