Neuropathy systems
by: L. G.
on Wed, Apr 23 2008
I recently started to experience numbness of my entire face. I attributed this to a new moisturizer I had been using, so I stopped. It has been a month and my face is still numb and now so are my hands, forearms, and feet. I have never had anything like this before. I am not having any pain per se, just numbness mainly. I am 64 years old and have been blessed with great health thus far. I would appreciate any feed-back.

I love pedicures, but gradually, the leg massage given during this procedure really hurt. Next came the painful feeling on the front of my legs when I dried off with a soft towel after a shower.
