half numb face , half can't walk
 

Hello im a 16/boy
and i recently was unwell but soon after the snotty nose ect.. cleared up half of my face went numb, there is no problems speaking of function except taste on one side of my tongue.

I have looked almost everywhere on the web it has been 4 days now and is spreading to minor lazyness in my left eye.

please help!!

I think you should see a doctor.

Did you use any recreational drugs? Inhale (huff) any aerosols?

There is a condition called Bell's Palsy....but it would need a doctor to diagnose it accurately.

no im not into that sort of thing , i am planning on seeing a doctor but i go to boarding school and am visiting home so school said check it out at home and home said check it out at school. :eek:

but if you have any more ideas please don't hesitate cuz im kinda freaking out
, thanks for the help:hug:.

i have had a look and have confirmed it is not bells palsy there is no paralysis also i have investigated ms and that is also incorrect.
could it be phyco symatic? (not sure if that's the right term XP)

you mention numb face maybe reasearch our T.N. forum to see if it fits...in your title you mention cant walk... if thats the case it isnt t.n.... t.n. is face pain here is the link to our T.N. forum http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum26.html.
Lots of info up top in the stickies and many threads from whcih to gather info and also please post any questions you have...
You can get T.N. from a sinus infection that spreads to the nerve. l Have t.n. and I post in that forum quite allot if I can help please let me know. sending calm ,low pain wishes to you.
PEACE

dear Worried teen
 

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I am sorry that you are having this kind of problem. Of course you are worried. I really think in this case you need to see a doctor. If you have a primary Doctor, one that knows you, this would be a good place to start. Virus's are lousy, and after effects, can be hard to dianose. Have heart that a resolution can be found. I hope your parents will agree, and get you in quickly so you can have peace of mind. ginnie:hug:

Yes yes please go see a doctor . I forgot to stress that.

Thankyou
 

Hi all i would like to thank you so much for your speedy responses , my parents said i can stay till i see a doc (booked 4 tomorrow) .
i am much more calm now and will just wait and see. It turns out that it is not T.? because i am just very wonky not paralyzed and am in no pain .

Thank you all , i will let you know when i get further information:grouphug:

No answers so far been 2 c 2 docs had a blood test and nothing apparently im an enigma to them they first misplaced my records and now have delayed my results !!!:mad:

Symtoms: numb leg/face on L side , major loss of balance , split vision ( random ) , episodes of anger (not related im just frustrated ), minor cough and headaches .

Thankyou

Warm welcome to you, worriedteen

I hope your doctor diagnosed you and you're on your way to recovery.

It is a busy world we live in.

It's no fun being sick. My heart goes out to you.

Take care... :hug:
