Please help me figure out what's going on?

I'm 21 years old, female, with three children. With my last pregnancy, the left side of my body started feeling like it had an odd pressure on it. My doctor kept telling me that it was anxiety/stress, which makes sense because I was diagnosed with anxiety when I was 13. Now that I'm not pregnant and my son is 5 months old, that odd pressure comes and goes throughout the day, every day. I don't get confused, I don't space out. I don't know what's going on. The left side of my body is pretty much plagued by these little off and on spells of perceived weakness and numbness. My left arm and side of my face feels like it should be weak, but has same strength. Feels like it should be numb, but isn't. I feel like my smile should droop, but it doesn't. My cholesterol levels were normal, thyroid, kidney functions, glucose..everything is normal. I don't understand what could be causing this. If anything, I'd like to know that I'm not alone. My husband and parents look at me like I'm crazy.  It does not ever get worse. It just comes and goes all day, every day. Sometimes followed by a headache.

Have you seen a Neurologist?  If not I would do so right away.  You've ruled out a lot but not everything and seeing a Neurologist would be the next logical step.  I hope you get some answers.....this has to be extremely frustrating.

I haven't seen a neuro. Truthfully, I can't afford it right now.
