 Sounds like you are all lined up for everything that needs to be taken care of. What I didn't see was when you plan to get the port put in, and when the next Tysabri infusion is. Have they not done the antibody test yet? How long do the results take? I'd hope that you wouldn't have to go past your 4 weeks before you get your next Tysabri infusion, as doing so seems to cause some people difficulty (from what I've heard, even the 4th week before the next scheduled infusion can be difficult for some...). The numbness is annoying, and can make accomplishing some things very difficult. It sounds like this is sensory nerves only though (not motory), so I'm glad about that. As far as how long it takes to heal, I've had two different experiences in this regard. The first two times I went through the 4 - 6 weeks of escalation, then 4 - 6 weeks of healing. Whatever went numb first, tended to heal first, so I guess about 6 weeks for any one body part to recover (no matter how big that area was). In those instances, my feet started first . . . and they were un-numb at about 6 weeks, however the rest of my body numbness had come on during that first 6 weeks . . . so then I waited another 6 weeks for those areas to heal. It was different though, when the numbness was due to the ongoing infection (ie. not a "real" exacerbation, but psuedo). My recovery might have had something to do with using LDN, or it could be that I kept the disease process somewhat "in check" by using antibiotics most of that year. I had ongoing escalation, and ongoing recovery (all year). . . but once that tooth was gone, most of the numbness let up in about 3 weeks. Either way, you are about 3 weeks into this now, so chances are the numbness will start to let up 3 weeks after the tooth is removed. That's my best "guess". Joe, you don't need to thank me.  That's what we are here for.  Cherie
