Face numbness

Does anyone have face numbness??

The numbness got bad today.
Half of my chest is numb & I can not move it. I can still move my legs but they are numb as well. My right arm/hand is half numb but I can still move it.
Both arms feel very heavy it is hard to move them, the same with my legs.
New symptom for me the right side of my face is a bit numbish so is my forehead. It feels like when you get freezing just the tail end of it. It just feels a bit funny.

Going to ask to see my doc. I think I am in a new ms attack.

What has you doc treated the face numbness with??

I get numbness all over. I do not take anything for the numbness/tingling feeling. It does feel weird. I have manage to keep going with the numbness. Good luck with yours.

A friend with facial numbness got treated with amitryptiline (elavil).

Good Luck with the Doc,

Face tingling/sensation was my first symptom or maybe attack b/c it lasted a week last time it happened, didn't do anything, it fades away eventually every time it happens.

I often get tingling/numbness on my lower lip, nothing severe though.
