Numbness

I’ve started to develop numbness in my fingers and now it has spread to my hand and arm, all on the right side. I know this is apparently a common cause of MS, has anyone else had this and how long did it last?

Numbness

I’ve had some new numbness and tingling in my legs, feet, and face for a few days which I know can be normal...but I drank soda today and I can’t feel the carbonation in my mouth. Is that weird? Anyone else ever lose sensation in their mouth? Sounds silly 😜
