Entire left side of body goes numb deep inside.

Posted by pakeemer @pakeemer, Feb 15, 2023

I’ve been discussing this a bit in the hemiplegic migraine area. But I want to take a different approach and just put this out there and see what others may have to offer. The doctors in my area didn’t seem to be of any help, which seems to be very common with what I’m reading here.

So here’s my situation in a nutshell. I am not going to go into all the other various symptoms right now. So what takes place is the entire left side of my bod ,can go numb from the top of my head right down the centerline of my body All the way down to my toes. It’s not a stroke, it’s not a TIA, it’s not MS. Hemiplegic migraine is the only other thing that I’ve come across so far that can cause this. But the doctors in my area give me a blank stare when I even say that word. What I’m wondering is if anyone reading this knows of any other sort of thing that can cause Numbing on one side of the body. I’m somewhat operating as if it’s hemiplegic, although I get no paralysis. I get a lot of other stuff and it’s a frequent daily thing and it just knocks me right down. So aside from all of the other symptoms, is there anything else out there that you are aware of that can cause numbing on one side of the body, deep numbing. I don’t lose the sensation of feel or touch, so it’s not like numbing on the outside.
I am eagerly waiting for responses!

In reply to @johnbishop "Good question - one thought: "When pain and numbness occur in a specific bodily region (like..." + (show)

First off, I’m sorry you are going through this. I believe I have been experiencing the same type of thing as you for the past 10 yrs. Mine started having 1-2 episodes a year, had a spell of more frequent ones on the past few years. I do have history of an AVM that Drs. Say is unrelated. I’ve had all the testing and bloodwork as well.. Seems to be a mystery as to why and so frustrating! Dr prescribed Vimpat for “seizures “. Have been on that for over a year . Just had another episode this morning.. it’s a terrible feeling and leaves you wondering if you will pull out of it each time, or if it’s the one that will end you!! I would be very interested in sharing advice as I am at a dead end here.
