Hi I am a normally healthy, active 54 yr old female. a few weeks ago, I noticed a few areas on the top of my left foot, left ankle and back of calf which had become numb to the touch. These areas remained numb for a few weeks. A couple days ago, I went to my primary care doctor, who ran some blood tests, and gave me a referral to a neurologist if things continue. Yesterday, I was shocked to find at least 6 new additional areas become numb and remain numb. The new areas included areas on both hands, my left knee, my left chin, left neck. I have minor difficulty swallowing, and occasional ( like right now ) blurred vision. I went to ER last night, where they did an MRI which showed no problems. The blood work, shows nothing unusual. The nuerologist can't see me until Oct 25th. Today , I just have one new numb spot of the side of my nose. I have been looking on the internet for ideas, and am wondering if this may be some type of auto -immune condition, due to the general areas of numbness, rather than along a nerve trunkline. I'm also thinking it may be some extreme food allergy, like MSG , but it seems like alot of numb areas for that. What do you think about it being Guillain-Barre syndrome ? ( Just a stab in the dark here, as I don't have a clue ) Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
