What Causes Prolonged Numbness In Body After A Wasp Sting?
One year ago I was stung on my face by a wasp. I didn't have any immediate reaction except for pain. Two weeks later I developed numbness in my mouth and neck that continues to bother me. I keep losing my voice. I've gone to doctors but they don't know what to do. I'm 58 years old, 5'11'' and weigh 160 pounds. I have been diagnosed with asthma but did not have any problems breathing when I was stung. My entire body went numb. I've been to an ear, nose and throat doctor and a neurologist. One year later I am still bothered by numbness. What do I do?

HI
Well come to HCM
Your numbness may not be due to the wasp sting but this could be nonspecific symptoms and this might be related with some functional conditions, mostly anxiety and depression could be the cause of this, better to low down the stress level to get rid of this condition, take care.
