Numbness, dizzyness

[YazzyA]

Have any of you been injured to the face or cranium?

I was in a swing/post accident to the face as a kid (80's before they covered the swing chains with ridgid metal bars). Maybe my facial numbness/heavyness allong with my left hand/pinky-to-elbow numbness and left rib-to-mid back numbness(which resembles a precoursor attack of "Shingles") has something to do with that old injury?

Have any of you had any minor or major, past or recent, injuries to the face or cranium? Maybe that would explain these unexplainable body weaknesses and symptoms?

I get a dizzyness/heavyness sensation on the left side of my face.I slurr, and my eyes cross!
I am numb from my elbow to my pinky finger
I am numb on the left side of my ribs in a wide band to my mid back
I have a minor over-ussage of my left hip joint/cartelage.

I am a Student in Holistic Nutrition, I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian for over 1 year. I take multi vitamines every day for the last 10 years.

I did not have any symptomes before taking the YAZ pill. I stoped after 1 year. This may have caused some symptoms. With the pill, Vitamins E, B's and C are lacking.
With this, I compensate, and I still suffer these unknown symptoms!
I ask myself, "maybe it is related to your accident from 20 years ago! Or Mabey the Pill?

Let me know.

That is great. I hope they figure it out too. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks. I have an appointment with a nurologist next week! I'm hoping She'll find the problem.

I would see a neurologist if you haven't done so recently. After your childhood accident did you have a long period on no symptoms? In other words, are these recent symptoms that came up out of nowhere? If so, you should not assume it is from the earlier accident and get to a neurologist and have them check you out. They may do an MRI or CT scan. I don't know what the YAZ pill is. I think with your good vegetarian diet that you probably get enough nutrients with that anyway and you don't really need much vitamin E.  The B an C vitamins come in a regular vegetarian diet. I am vegan and feel great but do take a multivitamin and some other supplements. My migraines give me double vision, vertigo and dizziness but not the other symptoms those are more serious and need to be checked out. Hope this helps.
