I get these weird things too. However,
i'm sorry I can't help you. I was told
mine was probably anxiety, and I was put
on paxil, but I don't beleive that crap,
so I only took the paxil for a month, and
it didn't seem to be helping (not that I
was having the feelings anymore) but I
still panicked about things. I started
by having the left side of my lip go numb
when I was 15 and then it moved down my
left arm (i didn't go blurry) but I was
rushed to the hospital, and they told me
that it was possibly a seisure, but it
couldn't have been, I was walking and
never lost consciousness. (i dont' have
epilepsy either). It kept happening, but
I figured y go to the doc, he's not going
to know what is wrong, I had an eeg done
and it just said I was awake, but drowsy
(that's me, lol!)
in may of last year, I nearly passed out
at work, once again going numb, but this
time my vision was effected. I spent a
couple hours at one hospital, and they
told me I was fine after doing a ct-scan.
I was released, still numb and blurry
(because my vitals were fine). The next
day it got worse so I went to another
hospital. There they told me that my
white blood cells were up, so I got
emitted. I stayed there for 6 days (had
2 mris', a ct-scan, and 2 eeg's done, and
still...Nothing. Once again they told me
it could have been a seisure, but I didn't
lose consciousness. They wanted to send
cultures into my shunt ( I have one from
my head to my abdomen from having
hydrocypholis when I was born) and record
them, but my grandmother talked me out of
it. And luckily she did. I called the
hospital that had put it in, when she had
advised me to, and they told me that it
wouldn't be good because it had stopped
functioning years ago. Had they done it
I could have died. So I left.
I still get these, on and off, but I think
I have figured out what it is. But I am
no doc, so I can just tell ya what I think
my prob is. I go a while without eating
because I feel bad about my body, and it
seems to link to my sugar. When I stay
on a proper diet I seem to be ok. But
hey what do I know!?!
Do you have any diet problems, but if you
do, maybe we can figure this out.

Are you talking about ephederine? I was
just told to stay away from caffeine which
works, but I just think that I have to
keep my foods up and i'll be okay. Maybe
the caffeine burns the food too fast, but
I dont' know. I'm just tired of feeling
like this. I always thought doctors
could fix ya, but I was wrong.
Do you have messanger?

Numb Tongue Posted: 03-05-04 23:40pm
Just responding to your problem with numb
tongue. Do you have pain on the tongue,
or anywhere else when having this problem?
I've had panic attacks but never had a
numb tongue, maybe upper arms and legs. I
recently discovered that I have a nerve in
my brain that has the covering coming off
therefore causing numbness and pain. I
have this pain on one side of tongue,
throat, ear. All along thought it could
be anxiety but will now be having surgery
to fix it. Mine began as sharp pain with
numbness. Have you noticed if you have a
gag reflex on both sides of throat,
because I do not. Just gag reflex on side
where I don't have pain and numbness. I
do get blurred vision, but always when I
get a migrane only! Weird though I have
no more anxiety. Sounds like you just
might keep check on it. Have you been to
dentist that numbed your mouth more than
usual since this began? Questions to
think about, I just woke up from
hysterectomy with my symptoms, so they are
unsure if a mild stroke caused this or
not. Not sure? Good luck and god bless!!

Skipper,
sorry you had another fit. I find myself
numb today on the tip of my tongue, my
left eye and the left side of my neck.
Once again, I really haven't eaten
anything and it is 11:15am (i had one
krispy kreme donut) so I think this is my
prob, but who knows. May I ask how old
you are?
