Hello-
I am writing this to see what people who have ms think. I have been having facial numbness in the right side of my face for the majority of the past 3-4 months. There are times that it feels like the skin is being pulled really tight, but mostly numb.
I talked to my doctor about it during my physical and she thought it was something that should be checked and has referred me to a neurologist. I thought I would just wait and see if it would go away on its own. Then I was in to my chiropractic and asked him if it could just be from a fall last year that he was helping me with. He said it could be but he did not think it was...then he said that he treats a few people with Ms and they have hade this as a symptom. he agreed with my Dr and see a neurologist.
I didn't think much other then I set up an appointment with the neurologist. But I looked up MS... 10 years ago I had a really bad case you of vertigo that lasted for a few months. I have dealt with it on and off every since. I have talked to my eye doctor about having my vision in my right eye will slowly close in until I have no vision. It only last for a short time an hour or less though.
The reason I went to the doctor for a physical was I am having extreme fatigue, facial numbess, frequent/hard time holding urine and hearing loss.
She did a full blood panel checked thyroid, diabetes, hearing test. Every thing came back fine except the hearing test showed bilateral hearing loss with a more significant loss in my right ear.
I have since, while waiting to get in the neurologist have been dealing with pneumonia and possibly asthma for the last 5 weeks. I have to admit that I asked the Dr to give me something because I do feel like was starting to become depressed/anxious. I have been on 2 different steroids and anxiety meds the better part of 4 weeks and I still am feeling the numbess.
I guess I am hoping that someone on here would be able to tell me that MS symptoms don't last for that long...or that this doesn't sound like MS, but maybe _________.
I guess what I am asking is I am still dealing with the pneumonia is it something that I should still pursue with the neurologist, or is there something else I should maybe talk to my regular Dr about?
I am sorry about the long and ramble post I just feel frustrated by SO MANY health issues right now and the Dr's not being able to do anything but tell me it takes time.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
