Strange feelings in my head/face

[Guest]

Have been experiencing numbness these past few days........it usually happens later at night, but I had it earlier today. I don`t imagine its drink related as I`m now 7 wks sober, but maybe it is........does anyone know?

I get a feeling of numbness just above my left eyebrow on my head.......just in a patch of about an inch.......feels like how your gum does if the dentist has given you a jag. Also, am now feeling my mouth quite numb.......same left side.......all just numbness.......no pain. Anyone know what this could be? I`m only taking the usual supplements.......no meds. Have never had any serious illness. Never had anything like this before...is quite alarming.

Thanks guys.

So sorry to hear about this Starlight. I have no idea what it is. Just wanted to say I'm sorry. Sounds like no fun at all.

Starlight= You may want to get this checked out soon. Since its only on one side of your face, it could be a neurological problem. Don't mean to make you nervous but if it persists or gets worse please get it checked out.

Star...

I don't know either but I would imagine it has nothing to do with alcohol at all at this point. I would also recommend going to a doc to check it out, just in case. To ease your mind if nothing else. Please do so soon. You are way too important to me. :l

How long have you had this, Star? Any numbness in your shoulder or arm? Any trouble speaking or moving your mouth?
You need to get this checked out. We don't want to take any chances. We need you.

Starlight - hope you're doing OK. Neuralgia? Except that usually has pain involved. How about your neck? Shoulders? Have you been feeling tension in them recently?.... Bit of trapped nerve possibilty....? But everyone's giving you the best advice of seeing the doc tomorrow. Peace of mind if nothing else. Keep relaxing your face, eyes and jaw; tension aint going to help and if you're worried about it it'll lead to tension which might make it worse.

Good luck love and keep us posted!

Love FMF xx

Starlight - Please do get it checked. If it is something, you will get treatment, and if it's not, then you can quite worrying. Take care, & let us know how you make out.

Hi Star!

First thought Dear....I don't want to alarm but you "must" go to the doctor tommorrow morning & have this checked out. You are a smart woman. I am sure you have researched the symptoms by now. Also if it happens tonight with spreading I would go to the eemergency room "tonight".

Second thought -- are you taking GABA? I discovered that I cannot handle GABA at all. I got a lot of numbing, tingling upper extremeties, etc & it scared the s$%# out of me. I think the reason is that I am already on prozac. Are you on any anti-depressants?

Good luck Dear.
