Has anyone else experienced a kind of whole body dullness, or numbness from anxiety? On March 3rd, I kind of had a nervous breakdown of anxiety - I was convinced I had a back problem, and I got a tingling pain in that area, and I just kind of felt my whole body go numb - completely. The best way to describe it, I guess, was like a panic attack, but for my nervous system (rather than cardiovascular system like they usually are). I couldn't even feel others touching me. About 20 minutes later, some of it returned. Several hours later, more came back.
In between, I was admitted to the hospital for the back problem. They did an MRI on all parts of my back, and my brain and they did a spinal tap. Said I don't have any significant issue, and don't have MS.
Yet, I still have this "dullness"... the other day, I stubbed my toe and didn't even feel it. I also seem to have less ability to taste, and lowered sensation of pin *****. It still hurts, and I can still feel things and sense temperature, etc. But everything just feels somehow... not normal.
Has anyone else had this... and how do I get RID of it, given that I know/accept it is from either anxiety and/or hypochondria?
Thanks!
