Inherited genetic di: You must have the trait, not the disease. You inherited it from either your mom or dad and you can pass it to your children. The numbness is almost surely unrelated. Your numbness is almost certainly secondary to a neurological issue, not hematological. If your own doc can't help go to a neurologist.
