Hello,

As per my clinical experience, there can be various reasons for numbness over whole body with shaking and inability to feel once body as
- Cerebrovascular accident
- Cerebral ischemia or stroke
- Intracranial hemorrhage
- Developing subdural or epidural hematoma via damage to bridging veins or middle meningeal artery
- Others

She must be evaluated with expert neurologist for reflexes, motor and sensory examination from head to toe and let be evaluated with non contrast CT brain or MRI as per the clinician concern. However, if you have any of her reports available with you kindly share with me immediately for further discussion ahead.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
