numb feeling, any info for cause or correction?
I have been getting a numb type feeling for the past 3 days. my entire body feels simulare to being drunk, delayed and minimal sensations of touch. and its intermittent, lasting as for a few hours. The best way to describe it is that the feeling is almost like when you fall asleep incorrectly, reducing the blood circulation to an arm or leg but without the tingle. What could cause this and do I need to go see a doctor for this?

I think you should DEFINITELY see a doctor about this. IMO It sounds like it could be serious. The two things that popped into my head immediately were stroke and pinched nerve(s). I have two pinched nerves in my back, and every now and then I get minimal sensations of touch or pins and needles type of a feeling. You saying that your entire body has this feeling is what is concerning me. The symptoms you listed are some that a friend of mine told me she had when she recently had a stroke. Either way, you don't want to mess around with your brain or nerves. Please go get checked out by a doctor. I hope all is well and that it turns out to be nothing serious.
