Hello everyone, First of all I just want to say that I know how many of you feel becuz I started getting these weird feelings in my head, numbness and tingly, since 2007.  Before that I would get this feeling that someone was pouring cold water on my head.  At that time (over 15 years ago) my doctor said that I could have been having a form of epilepsy. A couple of times I got so dizzy that I passed out. My doc said that he suspected that I had vertigo. (dr's always try to take the easy way out when they don't know whats going on) Anyway, in late 2007 I started getting these other weird feelings in my head, throat tightness, hoarsness, and I even developed a soft spot on the top of my head! I had also gained 18 pds in 3 weeks.  My doctor didn't know what would cause that but maybe thyroid issue and ove aperiod of 2 months I had 5 thyroid tests done.  The results were up and down. I had some bloodwork done and the ANA (for autoimmune disease) test came back positive. Had to see a rhumotoid doc, and I saw a neurologist.  My MRI showed white patches.  Doc said that this is something you see w/patients who have MS, but that mine were not in the area that someone with MS would have them in. My EEG was normal. He said I would need a yearly MRI to check for any changes. I had another one a year later, and no change. The rhumotoid doc said that I had mixed connective tissue disease and I was on med for abt 6 months but then got real sick with the flu and quit taking the med because I didn't like how it made me feel. I wound up moving a year later and started seeing a new rhumotoid doc who said that in her opinion I diidn't have an autoimmune disease cuz if I had been w/o my meds this whole time I would have been really bad off, at that time, healthwise. She said that it appears that I got a really bad viral infection at some time and that it attacked my thyroid and that any ANA test that I get done will be positive. (??) Needless to say that I was very confused.  I remembered that in late 2008 I had an Iris Analysis done (where a specialist looks in your eyes, or takes a pic of your iris, and can tell you whats going on with you) and he told me that the reason I had an up-n-down thyroid problem earlier that year was due to parasites attacking my thyroid.  I mentioned this to the rhumotoid doc and she looked at me like that was too far-fetched an idea.  I believe him as he was  right about everything else he told me so why not that!.  I wanted a 3rd opinion and just recently, after having symptoms come back again and feeling nauseated, etc for the past 3 weeks, I went to a new rhumotoid doc who ran a battery of bloodwork.  Currently waiting on results and have a follow-up appt with her, and a new neurologist, next week. Too many times, conventional docs don't think "outside the box" and they are too quick to diagnose people with anxiety or depression.  Well, when you have physical symptoms that doctors can't figure out why or whats causing them, yeah, that'll cause anxiety and depression.  But that doesn't mean that is what we are initially suffering from.

yep i can relate.The tight feeling in the head like i have something resting on it.My neck feels stiff,i get the shakes,cold chills,hot flushes,woozy feeling like vertigo,my stomach feels full and i cant eat.I get wind and constipated,head aches,blurry vision,heart races and pulpitations,hot rush across my chest, moody,insomnia or extreme tiredness,body aches, respiration problems,dry mouth,frequent urinating, tingly sweaty hands,nausea and probably heaps more that i cant think of right now. I have suffered for 6 years now,since i had my daughter. They think my body went into a state of shock from my pregnancy and put me into a menopause. I am used to it now but at first i didnt know how to deal with it at all.I sat outside early one morning cos i couldnt stop shaking and had to get up and walk around and just wanted to hang myself from my kids swing set frame.I could not deal with it.I went to therapy to learn how to relax and it was great.It was called ACT therapy.You learn to acknowledge what is happening, accept it is happening and breathe through it. I still get most of the symptoms monthly,i still think it is hormone related because of the times of the month i get the symptoms.If i have a heavy period that goes for a few days i will have less symptoms.I f i have a normal one I get more severe symptoms.This month was one of those.I have had the chills again,my neck is so stiff and sore, i am so cold and the head tight,lots of pulpitaions,hot flushes and woozy feelings.I hate it bit live with it as best i can.I tries Lexapro but ended up in ER with my heart nearly exploding.not sure if i worked myself up so much about taking it or had a reaction, I get scared taking even panadole these days let alone any ant anxiety meds.I hope it will one day pass but due to having to go through menopause yet i am dreading what will happen then.

Hi, I'm 15. I've also had these sensations. I had it on the right side of my face/head first. But it went away. I kind of feel this sensation sort of in my face. Burning or it feels like pieces of hair is dangling in my face. Have you went and reported this? If so, let me know what it is. Thanks.,
