Hi Barb,

 

The board is pretty slow right now, but hopefully someone will be along with some insight soon.

 

Wishing you the best,

Sunny

Barb, I have a lot of numbness but it not inclusively head to toe. Mine is my right leg, part of my right arm, part of my right face, my left big toe, sometimes both hands... and they all fluctuate depending on the moment.

For entire numbness, I'd get attention pretty quick. You could have something more serious happening.

Hi Barb,
I can't say that i have been numb head to toe. When my numbness started years ago, it was sporadic, in different parts of my legs. Now, it is pretty much in my feet. I get nerve pain and weirdness in my legs, but i cant say they are totally numb. My feet drive me nuts. I also have numbness in my fingertips alot, but not as severe as my feet. I think stretching helps with numbess in my legs. Cant say the whole body. Geesh, that would make me nuts. Maybe you can ask for neurontin to help with the sensation. It does help. I had great results with it but i had an allergic reaction and had to stop taliking it.
Good Luck
Lynn
