Numbness in face...unexplainable

Hello...
  Last night while laying in bed, I started to rub my chin & realized I couldn't feel it...I also feel numb down my throat & into my chest iof that makes any sense...Sometimes my whole face feels numb, & when this happens, I get scared & it's hard to breath...anxiety im sure...Im just really scared, I keep checking for lumps & such & feel one if my left shoulder area...I have NO insurance & am really getting scared...I take large doses of Methadone & Actiq(fentanyl)...200mgs. of Methadone daily & 12000mcgs. of fentanyl...Could this be what is making me have these symptoms? I await your repliy with bated breath...No, I think im just gonna have faith that I am going to be fine...thanks for you time & I am interested to find out what your take is on this...

Hi everyone.  I have had numbness in the left side of my face, off and on for about 3 months.  It has been much more on than off lately, and has been accompanied by other symptoms.  The other day I had periods of blurred(strange) vision.  I have also been nauseous, and have developed minor headaches on the same side.  My head hurts when I bend down, the back of my neck hurts, and I just overall feel lousy.  Any ideas?

I am not familier with Methadone but like any med, can have side effects. Neurological type side effects?

What I have heard about Methadone, has been very negative. A recent program was aired about this. Many people have died from this drug. The reason it's "pushed" is that it is VERY cheap and insurance agencies like CHEAP.

Fent is a powerful pain killer. Why are you on these meds?

Methadone could definately be causing these problems. Methadone can quickly kill you in your sleep if you are not closely monitored by a Dr. who is very experienced with it. Please be very careful, and if you are addicted to these meds, please get help before it's too late.
