Did you ask the doctors if it could be from warfarin? Check with your regular doctor on this.

Also, just some things to look into or consider:

Calcium and vitamin B12 levels - make sure they're in normal range

Thyroid function- under active thyroid can cause this

Panic Attacks- can cause tingling and numbness, dizziness, loss etc. Very powerful.

Dehydration

Thanks rmb. I thought about the warfarin connection only on my home, so didn't ask. As for the rest, they ran a gamut of tests, and found nothing.

One possible link is that I had a major car accident in 1993, and was hit on the left side. So could be residual side effects from that, though it wasn't confirm.

Dehydration may be in cause, but not likely. I know thyroid in not hypo active, as I've been loosing weight, not gaining and it's being checked regularly, as it runs in the family.

I'm also wondering if it may be related to the PEs, since this is new since the PEs.

I had something like that happen to me, although it only lasted half an hour or so. I was at the theater and had just worked my way through a big bucket o' popcorn. Near the end of the movie, my face went numb and felt really weird. Like I couldn't quite get the muscles to respond to what I was telling them.

It went away shortly after I got out of the movie and never came back. For me, probably some sort of weird combination of dehydration (helped along by all the salt in the popcorn) and maybe some anxiety. As it never came back, I just chalked it up under "recovery" and went on with life.

Yeah, I mean it could be warfarin but if you've been on it since September usually most side effects occur shortly after taking any medication. I know that's not always the case but is more often than not the case.

I get really tingly when I'm not drinking enough water, and I started getting a lot of anxiety a month or so after my PE, and experienced a lot of tingling and numbness that I realized was anxiety and stress related. Not saying you dismiss it as that but it's a very plausible explanation as well for a lot of people.

@danielle,
Have they tested you for MS? And many tick borne diseases can cause numbing, although most doctors don't know about them or test for them.

Just two more possible reasons for the numbing you're experiencing. Hope they're neither one---- and I hope they'll the cause and FIX IT!

Yes, Cave, I thought of MS, especially since I've had few other symptoms that could be from that. I'm thinking that the MRI and the Brain scan would have spotted MS lesions???

@danielle,
This is just discussion---- I'm certainly not qualified to suggest that anyone has MS. But these things should be considered by you.

It would depend on many things (if your MRI would have found them), 'things' that I don't know.

I do know, from personal experience, that the type of MRI, the MRI heads used (and how many), the software used and the experience of the radiologist (and what he's told to look for) make a huge difference. Probably the dye also.

For instance---"Conventional pulse sequences at 3 T offers higher lesion detection rates when compared to 1.5 T, particularly in anatomic regions which are important for the diagnosis of patients with MS."

Demyelination of the nerves is tricky to see, especially if there is just partial demyelanation.

Don't ignore the possibility of Lyme disease. It is 'the great imitator' and I know many people who were dx'd with MS and later improved or got cured with antibiotics. The literature is full of those instances also.

I hope you don't have either!!! But a doctor will find what he's looking for----- not something else.

Cave, you are so right when you say that doctors will look for what they are looking for. That's what happened when they were looking for abdominal issues that I'm now quite certain were the early, diffuse, symptoms of the PE.
