Face numbness/ tingling
Hope everyone's doing their best this evening,
Just a quick question, if anyone has had one side of their face go numb, and whether it eventually got better.
My started with all my first symptoms, during my onset relapse that led to diagnosis. So this was slightly over 6 months ago.
I guess I have leant by now, that everyone's case is unique, but I guess I'm hoping to gain some reasuance from previous experiences.
I have numbness/ tingling only on my left sure of face.
Cheers,
@londonlad , you're right, we are all different. Unfortunately, sometimes our recovery from a relapse may not be 100%, leaving us with residual symptoms. But, the brain is a very powerful organ, so if neural pathways have been damaged, it is possible to create new pathways. So, never give up hope. If you wish to discuss this, get in touch with your MS Nurse and see what they say.
I don't know it facial exercises will help with new neuro pathway development but it couldn't hurt to try. I have noticed that I have started to drool a lot more in my sleep. So I found some facial exercises off the internet and they really helped a lot. I quit doing them because of a death in the family and my sister came to stay with me. It was hard to get in any of my exercise routine, I am going to start the facial exercises again tomorrow the drooling is back. Potter
