My 16 yr old dd has numbness!!
 
It started on Sunday. She said the back of her arms felt numb and weird. Then yesterday about 1 hour before my son's graduation (:() she tells me that it's not just her arms..it's the back of her neck, her jaw, her ear, her lower back. Then when we got home last night it was also her feet. This morning it is the back of her throat, her nasal passage, now she tells me that she can't taste lemon juice on her tongue. I AM FREAKING OUT!!! on the inside!!! But on the outside I have to be calm. We went to a neurologist this morning and she did all kinds of reflex testing. All looked normal. Then she sent us for a MRI of her brain. Well she just called and said everyhting looks normal. She doesn't have MS. Now we have to go for bloodwork to check for lymes disease and she is doing a full blood panel and checking for other things. We won't get the results until Friday for the bloodwork. My daughter said she feels like she took a bath in anbesol. Any ideas??? anyone??? :confused::confused:

Does she have migraines with aura? They can cause numbness/tingling, I've experienced it before even though the headache itself never came on.

I am guessing the neurologist already looked at this avenue, but thought I would mention it in case s/he didn't.

Either way I'm very sorry your daughter is going through this, I send her well wishes.

Praying for your daughter and hope the test reveal the problem.

Buster Brown 06-01-2011 11:05 AM
I am so sorry to hear you daughter is having issues. Sending prayers and hugs. I hope they find out what is causing the numbness.

No not that I know of. I am really a complete wreck. My "friend" keeps telling me, "oh dont stress" and I'm am getting so angry. Don't tell me not to stress. This is my child. I asked her what she would do if her daughter suddenly was numb all over and couldn't taste food??? Yeah I'm gunna stress. I'm a mom, that's my job!! It's what I do!! My dd doesn't see my stress but inside I'm really freaking out. Will her numbness ever go away?? Will she be able to taste?? What the heck is causing this?? We just got back from the bloodwork. She is such a trooper, she didn't even flinch when they did it. I immediatly asked her if she could feel the needle because she didn't make a peep. She said she did but it kind of felt like a scratch. Help me Lord. Please say a prayer for her, that it's easily curable and she will feel "normal" again. She shut the air-conditioner in the car because it was blowing on her arms and it felt weird!!
I appreciate all your support. I knew my yorkie friends would be caring!!:)

I am glad you are taking all the precautions and having tests done to see what may be causing the problem. My SIL was experiencing numbness a while back and she found out she had thyroid disease. There are so many things it "could" be, I am sure your doctors will determine what is causing this. :) Prayers and positive thoughts to your daughter.

You know, my mother-in-law had a thyroid issue when she was younger. I would say about my daughters age. I wonder if it is a hereditary thing?? Hmmm

horsnaround 06-01-2011 02:10 PM
My brother had thyroid issues also made him feel like he was having a heart attack. And they finially figured it out and he had to have surgery and is on medicine for it. But has been fine since he is much older then your daughter. Sending prayers your way. And you have to stay strong on the outside for her.

Yes, some thyroid disorders are hereditary.

Suze225 06-01-2011 03:41 PM
I will say a BIG prayer for your daughter and you too, sometimes we moms need more prayers, just so we can keep sane!!!

My daughter also suffers from numbness in spots in her legs and arms. She talked to the doctor about it several times.....and for the life of me I can't remember what he called it.....but hers was nothing serious! Hope for the same for your daughter too!

yorkieusa 06-01-2011 03:47 PM
I'm so sorry your dd is experiencing those problems. I hope it's something simple and she'll be 100% in no time.

jmdt 06-01-2011 04:33 PM
Thanks everyone. Hopefully I will know more on Friday when we get the blood results. Maybe it is just a vitamin deficency I hear maybe B12. I don't know. I'm not a doctor just a mom.
You guys are great!! Thank you.

Patti 06-01-2011 05:50 PM
I hope everything is ok and it is nothing serious. Is your daughter stressed out about anything. Stress can manifest in many ways. Just a thought. I know how you feel my 25 year old DD was diagnosed last year with rheumatoid arthritis and went through hell before getting on the right meds. She was a trooper, I was a wreck. I will keep her in my prayers.

Yes they are often. I was going to say Thyroid as well & Hashimotos as it can cause neuropathy with or without a Thyroid storm. I would deff have her Thyroid checked & not just the norm but the T3 & T4 +TSH. I'll be praying they find some answers soon.

BonBon 06-02-2011 04:06 AM
Sending prayers that you get anwers soon and that everything is alright with your daughter. Hugs for you both,

Bonny

shodanusmc 06-02-2011 06:06 AM
I have no idea what it is, but it sounds like it came on real fast, so there has to be some sort of trigger. Good that you went to a Neurologist, and hopefully you will have some answers tomorrow. Sure hope she starts feeling better. Does sound like something related to nerve endings or such.

celstu1 06-02-2011 06:50 AM
I have no ideas as to what could be the issue with your daughter. Sometimes something simple like growing, or hormone changes with her age could cause weird symptoms like that, mysteriously come and then mysteriously go away. I pray her blood work comes back normal though. Saying a prayer for you and your DD. (((HUGS)))

Sookie 06-02-2011 07:07 AM
Is it just numbness or is it also tingling or weakness? Has she been sick with flu or such lately? Hope she feels well soon!

I was diagnosed with a B12 Deficiency two years ago. I get monthly injections. Numbness/Tingling are definitely syptoms. Is she getting migranes? Alot of the symptons are ones you described - if her levels are very low. I had a scare earlier this year my left and right foot were tingling for days and it wouldn't go away (sort of like a pins and needles feeling) - very scary! Turns out my levels were extrememly low - took a few months of injections until I felt normal again. Definitely have her tested for a b12 deficiency. Here is some information on it: Vitamin B12 Deficiency Feel free to PM me with any questions.

J_is_my_initial 06-02-2011 01:37 PM
thoughts and prayers your way. Have they checked for a herniated disc or bulging disc? Just a thought.

Sammy Mommy 06-02-2011 02:08 PM
You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers.

manolos mom 06-02-2011 02:32 PM
Hope everything is ok!!!!

jfalz73 06-02-2011 03:09 PM
Praying for answers and treatment for your daughter...i know the waiting must be unbearable as a mother...hugs to you and prayers for strength!!:)

jadabug 06-02-2011 03:27 PM
Oh my, I am just now seeing this!! I will pray for you DD and that the drs can give you a clue as to what this is. You have to be scared out of your mind. I pray it is just a vitamin deficiency.

Lil Sis 06-02-2011 03:41 PM
I know you are scared... I would be too. Have faith, we are all praying for your daughter!

jmdt 06-02-2011 06:01 PM
So far it's easier to say what is not numb. Her forehead, her stomach, her shins, her right hand and three fingers on her left hand. She says it's not really numb it is just weird feeling. I am just trying to keep myself busy until tomorrow when we get the blood results. I do know they are checking the b-12. So we will see. I pray it is something easily cureable. I will let you guys know as soon as the doctor calls me. Thanks again for all your prayers.

shodanusmc 06-02-2011 06:17 PM
Hopefully tomorrow there will be some answers, and relief for both of you.

Patti 06-02-2011 07:13 PM
I hope you get some answers tomorrow and it is something easily treated.

BonBon 06-03-2011 03:51 AM
Praying your daughter finds answers and relief today.
