As anybody have had sort of not feeling the left side of your body (well arms and face) like the right side? I told this to doctors numerous times they don't seem to think it's a problem I've had blood work done, I know it's not a heart attack because I would have had this by now. I've had this symptom for a couple of months.. just need to be reasured. If this is just a bad anxiety symptom.

I had that happen to me last fall.My left arm,and the left side of my face went numb.I went for a CAT scan or MRI(I can't remember which) and everything was fine.It was the weirdest sensation so I know what you mean.

Hello Jess, I somtimes get the feeling that my left arm feels different then my right arm. Its like if feels colder or just plain strange compared to the right one. I hope that this helps a little.

I have had the same feelings (or lack of) as you all say, I just assumed that I had a pinched nerve...I do have migraines and sometimes my neck gets VERY stiff...I just assumed that it all went together. What do you all think?

Yes that does help! I know I am not alone tired of listening to these weird body symptoms that freak me out! I have a very stiff back and have been having migraines for as long as I remember.. maybe this is part of it..

Yes Jess I also get a stiff back almost everyday especially around my left shoulder blade and like I have done too much that day with my back and my neck gets very stiff too. As for the migraines I dont get them but like once a year or so but my sister and brother get them all of the time. My sister has anxiety and my brother is just stressed all of the time. Hope this helps.

Jess, I have a stiff neck alot of the time from this darn anxiety. I've never had my right side feel different from my left side, but I do experience a feeling like i can't feel my hands or feet and sometimes when I'm walking I feel like I'm walking on air, when I feel like I can't feel my hands, I clasp them together just to make sure I still have feeling..it's wierd all these symptoms of anxiety..I've had migraines for the past 13 years and I started with anxiety attacks about 6 years ago..but I think my symptoms are stronger when I don't get good sleep..which is most of the time lately..oH well..Hope we all get past these wierd effects of anxiety..here's to our road to recovery..thank goodness for this program.
