I am having this now. Could you tell me if you found out any answers on why you're having numbness. I'm very scared.

1 ReactionDid you ever figure out what caused your full body numbness? I have this and I'm really scared but I also have deficiencies so I don't know what is what I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy.
Did you figure out what caused all this for you?
Did you happen to fall at anytime before those symptoms came in, or had any testing for Sensory nerve damage?
I fell 2 years ago Feb. 3, from tripping over a box that was put down behind me as I walked forward and turned around and hit it at a local store. I had only mild neuropathy for years before that. I hit the box, flew up in the air 3-4 feet, and landed 5-6 feet away on the concrete floor. I did not think I hit my head, but as it was described to me later when the pain came in the base of my skull, though it was throbbing very bad after the accident, that I had shaken my brain and had a concussion. I was 78 at the time. Two months later, lots of pain came in, tingling, pain, numbness, etc.. Tests showed Stage 4 sensory nerve damage but could not get my Doctor to give me a test until 5 months later, and now it only progresses every day. My bad so called idiopathic neuropathy I know was caused by the fall, but I am alone in that diagnosis. Not being able to get immediate help at the hospital or get the Doctors to think outside the box has caused my life to be changed forever. My problem is Stage 4 sensory nerve damage which is causing all the pain and numbness in any part of my body and will only get worse. Being 80 and only allowing Doctors 15 minutes per patient these days, you might as well do get on AI and let them help you, and keep pushing for your rights as a patient.

3 ReactionsHave you figured out what's going on? My uncle seems to be experiencing the same thing.
I am experiencing the same thing. Full body tingling/pins and needles, with kind of sudden onset. I do not have deficiencies and by all account am a very healthy 37/F. I have an appointment with a neurologist on Monday. Where you prescribed any medications?

2 ReactionsTell me about it! With Medicare seemingly restricting doctor office visits, to minimal time etc. I feel that I’m not getting care needed! One wellness visit a year, and that’s it! I’ve had numbness all over, to some extent! I’ve had numerous falls, and I have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Because I am nearly 80 years old, I get the impression, from my medical provider, that I should only receive minimal care, examination, and treatment!

3 ReactionsSame. First they said CIDP. BUT when nerve and muscle biopsy done. Said no. Now saying generic Lupus Polyneuropathy. Committed to say rare unknown disorder including a couple different autoimmune disorders
@bdebarge2022 When they stated it could be "a couple different autoimmune disorders", did they include psoriatic arthritis? PsA can be present with or without psoriasis. It takes Docs years before they come to a PsA diagnosis. Mayo Clinic did a survey and found that it took an average of 2.5 years. Docs prescribe biologics. I control it with avoiding red meats and dairy.
