I've noticed for a while now that the skin over the middle of my access is a little bit num, not totally num but num enough if they stick there I don't feel much or when I run my hand over it I can feel it a little but not 100 percent. Is it normal for skin over the access to go num after a while? I've had my access for over a year now.

I'd guess the numbness is a combo of scar tissue and a gradual build up of tiny bits of nerve damage from constant needle sticks. Mine still feels odd at the access spots, and I haven't used them in 2 years.
