tongue and lips going numb

My neurologist is hell-bent on the idea that this is MS even though he cannot explain the variable numbness, why it is triggered by exercise, why the tongue and lips are numb, etc when there is no lesion on those nerves. I can give you the MRI's if you want them. Please help me. Please.

I have had a numb tongue off and on for over a year. There are days that it feels entirely numb. The taste sensations are affected with this. None of my specialists can tell me what causes it; a couple have said that no one knows what causes it. I have heard it can be related to MS etc. I do believe it is possible for it to be related to food allergies. It is one of many mystery symptoms I have.

The right side of my tongue is numb. I feel some tingling and burning sensation at the tip of my tongue and bottom also. My tongue on the right side feels very sensitive to hot or spicy food. I also had pain running down my chin to the ear until 2 weeks ago if I had to do lot of speaking continuously. Now that pain seems to be better. But the tongue is still numb. The dentist has asked me to wait and take some B complex vitamins. Anyone who has recovered from this problem?

Now, for the past few days I have numbness in the left side of my lips and sometimes left side of my tongue, it is worse some hours and better some other hours but it is gradually getting worse. Is it related to my diagnosis and if it is, what kind of pituitary adenoma might cause lip numbness? I will do another MRI next week, but my Dr usually doesnt explain much to me, would appreciate your recommendation.

I do not recall him biting my lips, just licking them with his tongue. An hour later my lips felt numb and tingling. When I woke up the next day they seemed to be very red around the interior of the lip. A week later my lip is purplish around the lips. We did not do anything sexual. He did smoke marijuana that night before making out with me, I did not. Do anyone know or had this experience? I am freaking out thinking I might have herpes now from this? I did talk to him and his lips were fine.

I'm a week and a half into double therapy, took my second pegasys shot on monday. I've noticed over the last week that I've had a slight numbness/tingling in my lips and the tip of my tongue. I had a seizure last wednesday and they also doubled my seizure meds. Has anyone else had this with tx? I'm thinking it could also be from the increase in seizure meds or after effects of the seizure, and I really don't know which dr to call about it.

ve been having a lot of trouble with dizziness, disorientation, more extreme fatigue, left arm asleep, and now my half my face, tongue, and lips are starting to go numb- or more like the "asleep" sensation.

My numbness has gotten so bad I can barely eat (entire mouth numb including tongue) and I have trouble talking.

( I had surgery almost 2 yrs ago and I still have flare ups. It feels as though my tongue is numb and the roof of the mouth gets a raw feeling. I try to avoid some things when this happens.

The symptoms started soon after the December contact. I have tingling and cutting feeling on my tongue now and my lips are dry and tingling. I have had sex since, but not with the December person.

I don't want to spread genital, if i have it.
