a little while ago my whole body went numb, like when your feet are asleep. It started with my arms, then went up to my neck and face then down to my legs and feet. It lasted for like a week and a half. has this happened to anyone else on here, what was it and what should I do if it happens again?

If it lasted a week and a half, you should go see a doctor now, even if you're feeling perfect. They need to do some tests on you, and see what's wrong.

A week? Off and on...or straight a week? ...because there's a difference there. If it's on and off...it sounds just like when I hyperventilated one time after a shocking news. Do a web search on hyperventilation. It might has something to do with your being nervous. Maintain good breathing...exhale twice- inhale once naturally- without effort (you automatically inhale deeper)...again two quick breaths out- then one in...this will promote breathing with abdomen- instead of breathing shallow when you are nervous. Never inhale consciously...let it be the consequence to the thorough exhaling (exhale consciously!!!).
If it was one whole week straight- oh my...sure sounds alarming ...I think you better go to your doctor asap! It could be psychosomatic, though...but still go!

SEE a DOCTOR! It could be and early sign of brain or spinal cancer, or a pinched nerve that can be worked out by a Chiropractor. You can't know until you see a professional, it could be a wide range of things. If money is a problem then start with the Chiropractor. They will at least take an X-Ray.

it can be as a result of blood congestion or bad circulation.i think u shld see a doctor without waiting for a second sign cos i might be fatal the next time.not trying to scare you,perhaps,nothing is wrong . But 'prevention is better than cure'

It happend once, but I passed out immediately. Turned out that the docter perscribed too much of an inhaled sterroid called Albuteral (pardon my spelling) for a bronchial infection. You should tell your doc that it happend asap, and then see what can be done to fix it.

You definitely need to let a doctor check you. This is an unusual thing and you need to find what caused it. If your doctor doesn't seem concerned, get a second opinion.
Good luck with this.

I thinl that happened to me once, I don't know what it is either, try walking around a little bit, if it happens again, that helps sometimes.
