I think you should see a doctor.

Did you use any recreational drugs? Inhale (huff) any aerosols?

There is a condition called Bell's Palsy....but it would need a doctor to diagnose it accurately.

i have had a look and have confirmed it is not bells palsy there is no paralysis also i have investigated ms and that is also incorrect.
could it be phyco symatic? (not sure if that's the right term XP)

you mention numb face maybe reasearch our T.N. forum to see if it fits...in your title you mention cant walk... if thats the case it isnt t.n.... t.n. is face pain here is the link to our T.N. forum http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum26.html.
Lots of info up top in the stickies and many threads from whcih to gather info and also please post any questions you have...

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I am sorry that you are having this kind of problem. Of course you are worried. I really think in this case you need to see a doctor. If you have a primary Doctor, one that knows you, this would be a good place to start. Virus's are lousy, and after effects, can be hard to dianose. Have heart that a resolution can be found. I hope your parents will agree, and get you in quickly so you can have peace of mind. ginnie

Hi all i would like to thank you so much for your speedy responses , my parents said i can stay till i see a doc (booked 4 tomorrow) .
i am much more calm now and will just wait and see. It turns out that it is not T.? because i am just very wonky not paralyzed and am in no pain .

Thank you all , i will let you know when i get further information
