Hi guys. Thank you all to who responded to my last post. i posted a reply but i guess it didnt go thru. i do tend to obsess over my first initial panic attack. i wanna train myself that it will not happen again... I left something out. I think i read some BL reporting this symptom but not sure. Past 2 weeks i have had this weird tingle sensation back of head. like above my neck. its tingle numb sensation. it feels really strong. and making my anxiety worse. Any advice. Is it just anxiety.
When I was sick with my so called 'LTC,' one of my symptoms was numbness and tingling in the extremities (especially fingers). However, there was also a spot near my left ear that inexplicably also became affected by this. It was incredibly random that this patch of my scalp began to tingle away for several months - really weird.
This symptom caused me a lot of distress, and was the main reason why I ended up seeing a neurologist.
Even more frustrating however, is when all my efforts to see various specialists - including (among others) two cardiologists, a gastroenterologist, and an endocrinologist - in order to desperately figure out what the hell was wrong with me became a colossal failure with respect to the fact that I was unsuccessful in obtaining any objective medical evidence of something (anything) being the source of it all. And by "it," I of course mean the 'LTC' symptoms.
Be that as it may, what's most important is that, after I decided to see a psychiatrist and be prescribed some medication, I eventually recovered, which filled me with nonstop euphoria for several months afterwards.
Alas, I still don't know why a random area close to my left ear started tingling incessantly (and it also felt numb when I would feel the area). While I could go back and try to search some more for any answers, I simply cannot do it anymore, as it all but consumed me the last time around. In other words, it fucked with my head psychologically to the point that it became clear that I was causing myself more harm (and nothing good). So yeah, I stopped, and that's that.
Know that you are not alone; that others have experienced similar symptoms as yourself; that we understand you're suffering; that we're here for you (and others).
Gotta go for now, you have yourself a good one buddy, take care and try not to worry about the numbness and tingling too much. I know it's distracting and annoying as hell, but I digress.
The way I managed to deal with it best was to find a hobby which did not require too much mental and physical exertion. And for me, that hobby was kinda lame, but it worked. I basically started watching the TV show '21' with Kiefer Sutherland, and found I really liked it so much so that all I could think about was the next season. I did get my daily physical exercise in between though, so yeah.
Have a good one
