It started yesterday and I have it now. My face, starting around the temporal region extending to around the zygomatic area on both sides,followed by my forehead and lips, then down to my chin down the front neck, followed by the pariatal region of my head started feeling numb superficially. I could touch any part with my fingers and felt everything but I still had this strange numb like feeling. I could actually feel and follow the numbing pattern moving from one area to the next. I was in school, doctorate class as this began happening and I commented to three of my class mates. They just looked at me funny and went back to their school work and never mentioned it again. Next my fingers started feeling numb. But they were still working and I could touch them and feel both my touching and being touch but this odd numbing feeling was there. Then my forearm started doing the same thing and that was it. Nothing else anywhere. This last for hours and then just went away. My vertigo was back and more apparent than ever. This time, if I sat down, even slowly, I got incredibly wozzy or a hard rush. As I walked, I felt like I was walking across one of those bouncy bridges at an amusement part. I just could figure out what to do to make it just disappear. I also, for the first time started moving towards the right and crashing into things and people. It was if a pull was taking off to the right when I tried to walk. It is kinda like being tippsy without the benifits. The vergito isn't as bad as a few weeks ago and so far, until yesterday, I was attributing the oddness to an ear infection because I could not find any information anywhere that related it to a neurological problem and I really only got responses from a few people and only one really seem to maybe suggest that this is neurological so I thought probably this is just my imagination. I've already been told that I demonstrate "hypodchodria" by my psyc specialist. This was DIFFERENT from like when your feet "go to sleep." It didn't hurt and it was not painful. It FELT LIKE I had taken a bunch of Niacin but I had taken nothing or that I had been to the denist and the shot was just starting to take effect. This morning, it was back. My forehead, lips and cheeks have a numbing and an odd COLD/HOT sensation. I preceive a warmingness but at the same time it feels like a cold. It is like holding a ice cube to my cheeks and forehead for too long. I am going to the neuro for sure this week. I would have gone sooner but my insurance company sent a letter saying that my insurance was cancil but in fact, they just switch providers. I went out and bought my own insurance - now I have two insurance companies. Those crazy people could have messed me up! I need some feed back. This is totally freaking me out. I need to know if others have experience anything like this before. I have heard about "numb butts" and a few other things but I don't recall anyone having these kinds of symptoms so I am wondering what is causing it and why it came for a long time, went away and now it is back again. If it is a neurological problem, shouldn't it just stay rather than go away and come back?
