Full Body numbness for 4 months constantly???

Posted , 2 users are following.

About 4 months ago I had a bad reaction to a nerve medication that caused me to have trouble breathing. Which led to an attack which then led to heart palpatations, nerve twitches/ fluttering. Those symptoms subside but I was left with dullness/ numbness all over my body. It is equal and I just can't feel things as much. This is constant and there is nothing that has made it better. A month later I was prescribed antibiotics to treat a infection which I found out I never had. After a few days on the antibiotics, I woke up a few days later and my face and scalp were very numb. I could not feel it at all. I had really bad nerve pain all over my body and develped heat intolerance. I can't take warm showers or I almost faint I become so fatigue. I had a full work up and MRI and neurologists do not have an answer for me. I had tried many meds to find no relief. I am stuck now and have no idea what is wrong with my body. I also had burning in my head. Really bad burning that also felt like swelling. It was terrible but did subside over 2 weeks. I don't think it is pychological because of having this nerve pain but I have no clue what is wrong. It is very painful and my quality of life has decreased alot. please if someone has help out there. Please please respond to this or message me. I am in need of help and feel hopeless with no lead on to what is actually wrong so I can treat it.

    Hi Chase7,

    I am so sorry you are experiencing this! i had a reaction after receiving a TDAP vaccine. I seemed to affect much of the nerves in my body. The good news is that it got better with time. I am hoping yours will as well. No medications helped me and I never got a definite diagnosis. They believed mine to be a mild case of GBS. I turned to physical therapy, healthy diet, and mild exercise (ie stretching, walking, etc at the time). Once I ruled out major things I started trying to heal on my own and get away from anything negative like any past doctors who weren't supportive etc. I just worked in relaxing more and trying to heal. I hope you get resolution and are able to heal! Take care!

      I appreciate the response. I have been like this for months. I don't think it can fix itself I have tried many avenues with no success. I need some kind of explanation and treatment. I do not want to live life in this condition. I can't feel anything everywhere including down there. At all
