My face is no longer numb. It lasted about a week or so. My edoc said it was from the mask they put on your face during the ECT treatment. When you are asleep, your breathing is assisted with a bag valve mask. I think they may have put the seal too tight, causing some numbness and tingling around my face and nose.
I am sorry to hear you have had numbness for so long. I hope you get some relief soon.
