If MRI doesn't show anything,  are they thinking some sort of migraine?  There

is a new one called complex migraine to check out.

Total long shot here, but does anyone else have face tingling/tickling/numbness?

I have started to develop it (Since last Saturday) as well as a HUGE

sensitivity

to light and sound. I had to sit in my car while my husband

was vacuuming the

house, my GPS is on silent, I can't be around people with phones. And my

eyeballs hurt like hell (no changes in activity, no eye issues)

Can someone tell me what is going on?I can hardly wait for my brain MRI

tomorrow!!!!!

No they are thinking MS :(I also have hand numbness. Parts of my hand will go

totally numb for days.. my arms tingle all the time etc.

Good luck with the MRI with the sound sensitivity, hope they can sedate you or

something. Not sure to wish for seeing something or not but hope they figure out

what is going on soon.

I had right arm/shoulder issues about 4 years ago. MRI showed ruptured

C7, did neck traction at PT, fixed it. Have my own traction machine to

use as needed but I bet it has been a year since I have had to. It was

most likely caused by over compensation from my leg weakness (leaning on

walker :-) ) and not standing correctly.

Hope you do NOT have MS.

Thanks Rick and .

Figured no one else is having face issues, or eye ones.

My hands and fingers go numb. Arms just tingle.

I hope they find something!!

Are u taking Topamax? It is notorious for causing tingling. That is a known

side effect. I took it for about 8-10 years. The tingling was more apparent

when I first started taking it and after a dose increase. Even after being

at a stable dose and the tingling resolved, I would notice it again when I

was cold. Especially on my face. It was slight. I would usually feel like I

had a stray hair brushing my cheek. After trying to brush it away for 3 min,

I would finally figure out it was the tingling from the Topamax. I also had

the tingling in my hands.
