Sounds like Bell's Palsy. My ex-husband had it. Definitely tell your doctor.

Well, good grief. Hubby kept saying yesterday his mouth/chin were numb. I couldn't understand what would be causing that. Dumb me.

Hello Kawai,
When I had a lot of die off with my herxes my face would become numb. It was very scarey the first time it happened, it felt like novocaine from the dentist office.
I think it is still a good idea to call your LLMD also, and hang in there it will get better.

I got Bell's Palsy two months into treatment (not to scare you) it has almost completely resolved, tiny left over)
The best I can offer is the last time that happened to me It was suggessted I drink lots of water with lemon for detox and take and epson salt bath to detox thoose toxins.
Hope that helps.

Numbness has been a persistent problem for me. It used to affect my face, hands, feet and at it's worst, my entire body was once numb.
That was when I was being seen by regular Drs who weren't Lyme literate, and was THE symptom that led me to the internet to try to figure out what what was wrong w/me.
After almost 2 full years of abx, and now other alternative and herbal txs, I just have slight, lingering touches of numbness in my hands, feet and legs. I wish it would go away completely, but I'm very glad it isn't as bad as it had been.
So I guess my message is, 1. don't be surprised if other parts of your body become affected by numbness, and 2. it will get better w/ abx and other treatments, so hang in there. Recovery is a painfully slow process.

When I was on Azithromycin my entire body felt numb for 4 days! It was really weird and hard for me to eat because I felt liek I was chewing weird but it went away. I do however think it was die off because I was also in a Lyme fog the entire time and slept alot. I have also had tingling on my forehead that will move down my face sometimes.
