Small Fiber Neuropathy and Face?

Posted by chayre @chayre, May 28, 2023

I have SFN in both feet/lower legs. Could it be the cause of numbness in one hand and one side of face?

@fija1001 Hello there. I'm not sure if you or anyone else in the feed has gotten answers, but I wanted to attempt to help. I have anxiety as well and I have been hospitalized for stroke like symptoms. The doctors just brushed me off and said I was faking it, but I absolutely wasn't. I did my own research and discovered that Functional Neurological Disorder is a disorder that is induced by many things, stress and anxiety being among them. I have been diagnosed with that as well as Pseudotumor Cerebri, Papilledema, and a few other things. I'm now going deaf in my right ear, my face is going numb to light touch and my tongue is going numb in spots and I'm having trouble tasting and smelling too (not from my COVID). I hope you have or find the answers you need and I hope my story and experience help you and others. Wishing you all the best.
