partial face numbness

Hi, apologies for posting again so quickly! Just trying to work out if the symptoms I'm having are MS related or something else. In addition to a numb left hand with pins and needles, I've now got a weirdly numb face. But it's on the upper right hand side. Can MS related facial numbness be just part...

Numbness

Hi all ! Just sitting on the couch tonight I realised most of my leg was pretty much numb when I was touching it.

I'm waiting on confirmation of a diagnosis as the doctors are 95% sure it's MS but this numbness has been constant for nearly 2 weeks now. If you suffer with it have you got any tips on e...

No point to this post other than neuropathic pai...

I know most people suffering with MS have numbness in the legs and feet but how about the hands and fingers? I'm not sure if it's job related or MS I'm sure it could be a bit of both. Just curious if anyone has similar neuropathy
