tingling/numb face-Questions

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced or if your children have ever experienced a tingling sensation and then a numbness of the face and down one side of the body? I usually get this when I am tired and it has been a sign that I need to get more rest or else I will have a bad episode coming. Now I am concerned because my oldest (15 yrs. old) said that it has been happening to him for quite a while but thought it was normal to have that as it has been several years that he has dealt with it. Is this a neurological issue or is this a "common" thing anybody can have happen to them. Is this a mito/neurological issue? I just want to get different opinions on this. I am not really too worried about Luke. He is overall very energetic and healthy. The only weird things I have seen with him have been sensory issues to do with lack of feelings in his extremities at times, lack of temperature changes felt in his extremities, this numbness/tingling issue... I know that any of my kids can develop issues as they get older as I didn't get bad until I was 20 yrs. old with only mild issues as a child. It just really surprised me when he told me he had the same tingling/numbness I deal with when I start having problems because he hasn't ever mentioned it before. It makes me wonder what else he is dealing with that he hasn't shared with me. Any advice is welcome. Darla: mommy to AsenathGet more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
