Thanks,  Reading alot of the symptoms from several people on this site, symptoms that I have had during the last 8 -9 years, and doctors have never even suggested  my seeing a neurologist, They have checked me for lupus, heart problems, spinal tap, looking for miningitis(sp?) and what seems like a million other things. Then when I got this last episode of burning -numbness Has been going on since June. I had just come off a round of antibiotics, so a t first they thought it migh be a reaction to them. When it didn't go away, I finally requested to see a specialist.

First time (2001) my face was numb,  arms and fingers, I was dizzy and had a sharp pain in my eye and severe headace (behind my eye.) Coudn't focus, my left eye looked like I used a red marker on it, blood red!   I was at a gas station and almost past out, They called a squad, and ER said it was a panic attack.  I was numb and trembling for a couple days. I have not had one panick attack before or since then, so not sure it was a panic attack.  Either way, it looks as though maybe they'll start testing and maybe eventually I can find out whats going on.
