Experiencing very similar symptoms to a lot of the above posters - it was quite a relief to come across you guys. It is always reassuring to know you're not suffering alone. I have a constant dull pain and pressure at my left temple with sometimes an accompanying pressure around my left eye, 'numb' sensation in the left side of my face, occasional muscle spasms in the back of my neck and legs, a feeling of light headedness, nausea and sometimes, when I lay down, the feeling that I'm going to faint. The combined effect of these symptoms has me feeling very nervous and I'm finding it a task to fall asleep before 6.00 a.m. I really want a MRI or CT scan - anything to give me reassurance that I'm not suffering for a critical disorder.

Hi- I'm new here, and I was looking for answers too. I've had 3 car accidents ( none of my doing )7 years ago. Then I was just in another one, but was in an awkwrd position leaning forward tring to get my mom to stop cause a lady ran a stop sign. My symptoms started with a headache, then a Migraine, and Nausea, with a fever. I thought I had the flu- since I hadn't felt all these symptoms before. I went in to see The Chiropractor 4 days later when I was in immense pain- and had a hard time focusing, thinking, and the Migraines wouldn't leave. The Chiropractor took x-rays, did an exam, and said I had a bruise ( my brain seperated/tore from my skull so there was some swelling.)Whiplash, and back injury.Told me to Rest, Ice, and take off work, He then sent me to my reg DR. and he prescsribed me Vicodin, Volteran, and Skelaxin. Told me to check back if the pain got worse, and for a check up. 1 mo later- he did refills. 3 mos later he siad I should see Physical Therapy-they said I had TMJ ( with muscle spasms in face, sore teeth, tight jaw & throat, hard to swallow sometimes, Migraines, Pressure in Jaw )TOS ( Thorasic Outlet Syndrome) Numbness & Weakness in arms and hands- did that and a Tens unit- which helped for stregnthening and muscle spasms. Although the symptoms still there. Chiropractor & Message Therapy 4 mos-helped with all the spasms and tightness- I felt perfect that whole day- but back to symptoms the next day or two. Chiropractor referred me to TMJ specialist- I was fitted for a device and Migraines went away, felt new, was feeling normal for 2 weeks, pressure was alieviated when I wore the device, Painful at first to move lower jaw muscle back into correct position. Sleep apnea gone- able to breathe -Bio feedback siad I was now getting 20% more oxygen -since my tongue was not blocking my throat-while I slept. 6 Months since accident- now I still have Light headedness, dizzy, TOS, TMJ, and pressure in whole head-possibly tension headaches? I feel more pressure with Loud Trucks, airplanes over head, or loud Bass sounds. I'm still feel lack of oxygen. IME- says I shold be fine-and Regular Dr. has be set up to see a Specialist- Physiotherapist- in 2 weeks. Lawyer says continue Chiropractic & Message care ( since I was getting relief from strain of my work-( photographer & Loan officer ) and now the doctors have me off disability- so I have to work full time), and tomorrow I go in for a 2 hour check up on my TMJ device $ 3200.00 each one.

Has anyone ever thought about TMJ? I was just looking up the symptoms, and they all sound fairly close to what we are experiencing. TMJ can have some very strange symptoms that you wouldn't expect from it.

I have a lot of these symptoms as well.  Tingling in the head, double vision, headache, neckpain & joint pain.  It's been going on for a few days now.  Last night, I started getting tingling in my arms and lets too and it woke me up.  I have TMJ but i've been to the dr. and these symptoms are not being caused by TMJ.  I have an appt. to see a neurologist a week from today but I am going to have very hard time waiting.  The tingling in my head has gone from scarce to constant and it's literally driving me crazy.
My dr. kept diagnosing me with a sinus infection but that's clearly not it. Also, about 2 mos.ago, I had trouble breathing and thought I was having a heart attack.  After 7 hours in the ER they sent me home and told me I had aniety.  I'm scared to death. When I look up all of these symptoms, I get answers like MS or head/neck cancer.  Has anyone had these symptoms and it be something minor?

In response to the person who said that sensitivity to Eletromagnetic forces could cause these symptoms...

This could be possible. I am a designer and work in front of a computer for 8 hours a day. With little distractions throughout the day. I have doing this for the past 8 years. I was once told to stop every so often and refocus my eyes, or get out for a walk occassionally not only for sanity reasons, but for health reasons. Being in front of a computer for so long each day could possibly have a negative effect.

Does anyone have the same symptoms and in a similar work situation?

Although, last night I did read somewhere that a pinched nerve can cause similar symptoms.

Hi to all ~

As the Good Lord would have it I found you guys with many of the same symptoms that I have been struggling with for some time...In looking for the millionth time as to what could possibly be at the bottom of it all I spent considerable time today mining the net (again!) and found one common denominator that fit many of the symptoms to a "T" - Electromagnetic Sensitivity.

It would take a good while to cut and paste all the abundant information on it, and it couldn't possibly fit into this posting, so I'll just list some of the research links I've compiled for all your consideration ~ plan on spending a fair amount of time reading...NOT fun discoveries to be sure.

So, hope to be of help and here goes (listing, listing followed by site address - be sure to explore sites):
