Hi, I recently been diagnosed with RRMS like a couple weeks ago at 36. I had facial numbness (lips,gums, cheek,)a month or two ago then went away but the second time it was in the same area but a little more widespread (nose, upper forehead/scalp, lips, gums, tongue)than before alongside minor numbness in fight forearm, flank, lower right leg/foot area. My balance and gait were affected but since my discharge I walk and balance almost normal (%90) so that's good.
but then the facial numbness is driving me up the wall. I can eat but I had to chew deliberately cause I cut my mouth/tongue repeatedly but I'm learning to adapt.
Im still on high dose prednisone for another week taper off but no change in my face feeling since this second relapse.
will it be permanent,? I guess nooone knows that but I really hope one morning I wake up and my mouth area comes back I pray.
anyone experience something like this I read it can take weeks, months, even years for some symptoms to return to, or close to normal again.
if its permanent than so be it I can live with it, I can see perfectly, I'm independent and mobile, can drive so I'm hopeful I can manage this new disease I got and go into the MS CLINIC IN 2-5 months to develop a treatment which I hope is successful.
