yuliya Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 A few times a month I get random numbness in parts of my body, mostly on the right side. Yesterday the right side of my face was numb and today my right foot/toes are numb and tingly. I have also had it in my right fingers, but not this episode. It almost feels like my foot is not lifting up high enough when I walk, its not dragging but feels close to it. Any one else get this and what could it be?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah4444 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I get that sometimes too. I recently went to a talk given by Dr. Lawrence Afrin (mast cell expert) and he said his patients often report sporadic numbness/parasthesias in different/varying areas of their bodies - and that often this leads doctors to not believe their symptoms are real.

Chaos Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Happens to me also. Sarah- interesting comment you had from Dr. Afrin. Did he have any idea what causes it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misstraci Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 This sounds weird, but both my big toes are numb, it doesn't come and go, it's always there and I told my doctor recently and she has no idea. Neither do I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah4444 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Chaos, he didn't explain it specifically, but seemed to feel the variability of symptoms related to different kinds and amounts of mast cell mediators being released unpredictably (my interpretation).

enko Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I do also have feelings of tingles and numbness all around my body, but mostly on my back and hands.. It goes away in a day or two.. Mentioned it to my neuro but didn't get any feedback.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
