I'm not soliciting advice on this one - I am under a doctor's care. Just trying to find out if anyone has/had the following symptoms and getting all the buzzwords in:
Numb and tingly / numbness & tingling in hands, feet, torso - anywhere, really
Odd feeling kind of like having a layer of extra skin, or having reduced/just "off" sensations
Feeling an electric shock type feeling when you bend your chin to your chest
Any reduced/altered sensation similar to your hands/legs falling asleep
These aren't temporary like from sitting in one position too long - they stay with you. All of these (except the shock thing - that's called Lhermitte's sign and can have a range of causes) are called paresthesia or neuropathy, and if you are experiencing them, PLEASE contact your general physician immediately. If there's a link between us, it can get worse, in a hurry.
I am not a doctor and am not giving medical advise in any way, just letting you know if it's there, get it checked out ASAP.
