Yup, used to get it a lot before the Plaquinel. My left side is usually effected the most. A lot of times my face, lip, ear, and side of nose all on that side. Got it in my little toes and pinkies at times too. One time my entire left side went numb and I went in to ER thinking a stroke. After they calmed me down they said it was most likely a panic attack. A cautionary MRI was done of brain where they found a small beginning aneurysm in my right carotid artery. Still not sure if related???? Just something to consider though
