Spreading numbness in body

Question

Asked for Female, 17 Years

I have increasing lack of feeling in my legs and arms, which is spreading into my back and neck. I cannot walk properly and it feels as though my legs are separated from my body. I’m losing my ability to use my fine motor skills in my hands, but I’ve been told it’s a side effect of my tegretol which is treating my epilepsy. I’m concerned as I use a wheelchair to get around now, and I don’t feel as though I am losing my body.
