Hello everyone, I have a question about facial numbness, about 3 weeks ago the right side of my face went numb it has gradually gotten worse and now is on both sides of my face neck and even right side of scalp.
My question is...is it common for ms to effect both sides of the body at once. When I had symptoms in my legs 6 years ago ( burning, pins and needles) along with other stuff I was told(by Neuro) it could not be ms because it was in both legs.
My understanding is that ms attacks the covering of a nerve exposing that nerve then symptoms accure.
That makes me think it would be on one side. For it to effect both sides, the nerves that control my face on both sides of my brain would be being attacked at the same time.
Would love to hear others view on this, because I know from reading posts here that people do have sx on both sides of body at the same time.
Cheers
Kathy
