Greetings!
 

Hi,

First of all I'd like to greet everyone and compliment the supportive and informative community you guys have. My name is Ken and I'm a new member out of Los Angeles and joined neurotalk with the hopes of perhaps finding some information about my condition/symptoms. For a few years now my body would go numb in the middle of showering but everything would go back to normal immediately after finishing. But a few weeks ago the numbness came back (on the bus on the way to work) and hasn't gone away since. It's difficult to explain. I can function normally (ride a bike, etc) but just can't feel things. For example when I turn a door knob, I can feel the temperature and pressure against my hand but not the doorknob itself. If i pinch myself I can't really feel it until I pinch hard enough. I've done research but can't find any info on numbness throughout the entire body. I'm getting worried that it is permanent since it's been a month since it came and hasn't subsided. Thanks in advanced and ANY info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, and welcome to the community! There are a number of forums here that address conditions which present with numbness, so perhaps you can find some information by browsing or using the search feature.

Hopefully you have seen a doctor about this?

Sorry you have to deal with these problems. It is not something I've dealt with.

Here is a link to rare conditions:

There's tons of info here. So just keeping asking and searching for answers. It may come one morsel at a time, but it will come.

I would look up Todd's paralysis. It sounds somewhat like it.

It is not a dangerous thing, just very annoying.
