Hi windy.

I have a neuro apt in March but I’m looking for sooner options.

Since around last June I’ve had odd loss of sensation/less sensation in right side of my face. Mostly chin but also cheek lower lip right nostril. The less sensation goes all the way up my cheek bone to about ear level. No pain anywhere on my face. Also my gums and inside of mouth on that same right side feel odd with lesser sensation. Thought it might have been a dental issue but dentist and 2 gum doctors say they are fine minus some recession.

I do suffer from anxiety (15+ years) and last spring I was dealing with multiple issues that made me very anxious. Martial, drinking, sick child who was diagnosed with Chrons disease, money issue. My mind is constantly anxious so
I thought it was from that. But since my fave issue hasn’t gone away in a few months I went to a Dr. and got blood work and a brain MRI in October and both came back clean.

I went back again in December and he got me this neuro consult in March I also go put on anxiety meds and Doxyclinie for 21 days to see if it is from Lyme Disease which I didn’t have a recent positive test for but I had 15 years ago that caused Bells Palsy in this same right side of my face. I’ve been on that a week and it hasn’t help.

So that’s where I’m at still very anxious and hoping my face issues are from anxiety and stress but I’ve had it for 7-8 months so it has to be a different problem which is unfortunate. Hopeful the neuro can steer me in the right direction.
