That being said, I am having problems with the left side of my body going numb as well.....what is up with that????? We definitely need to keep in touch!

I'll say, we are like twins! I am booked in for a neurologist appt on Monday, so I will keep in touch.
My right side is starting to go now, with my right food half numb.

While the cause is not clear, it is probably linked to a shortage of B vitamins. Slow recovery is possible with abstinence, vitamin supplements and a good general diet.

B-vitamins, yes, i have a shortage, was i ever a heavy drinker - YES.
