Hi. I'm a 48 year old mother of 2. I
recently went to the neurologist because
my one pointer finger was tingling. I
had previously been diagnosed with bulging
disks in my neck, but I never had the
tingling.
She did and emg and it came out fine, but
my cervical spine mri showed that the
disks were now herniated. A few days
later I began to feel tingling in my toes
and around my feet. I went back for
another emg of the legs and feet. That
came out fine, too. Now I sometimes feel
like something is crawling on my scalp and
buttocks. I have become obsessed with
these medical web sites and have become a
nervous wreck about these symptoms. I
don't know if i'm causing these problems
with the anxiety or if something is going
on. Please reply. Worried sick.

i also have similar things going on. It
started with a tingling in my tongue. 8
months later I began having tingling
similar to being snapped with tiny rubber
bands on the back side of my skin,
constantly moving from one area of my body
to another. I does not itch. Sometimes
it feels like something is crawling.
I am 47 years old, had disk repair surgery
4 years ago but never regained 100% of the
feeling in the big toe area of my left
foot.
2 weeks ago I had an mri of my brain, a
thyroid blood test, and a b12 blood test
and all were normal. Ms and a brain tumor
were ruled out.
I read an article that artifical
sweeteners, especially if you consume alot
of diet soda, which I did, can cause these
symptoms. I have stopped these sweeteners
in hopes of seeing a change.
Will update with any progress.
If anyone else has this problem, now or in
the past, please share your experience.

Wierd Sensations, Too Posted: 02-11-08 23:07pm
I, too, am experiencing a "rubber band"
tingling on my side. This seems to be the
latest area. It started in my tongue.
I'll have a reverb tingling in toes. It
does seem as something is crawling and
like you all - the neurologist can't find
anything wrong. Maybe it's a case of a
pinched or damaged nerve. The crawling
feels so wierd - I don't drink a lot of
artificial sweetners but I have started
taking vitamin b 3 times weekly because
vitamin b is supposed to be good for the
neurological system. II have had metal
testing and other testing that has not
revealed anything. BTW, I'm 38. At
first, I would panic but I've learned how
to get through it.

Funny I should run across this post....as
I sit here it feels like ants are crawling
on me. I told a PCP a few years ago and
she told me to take Vit. B wtiht no real
relief. Next week I see a neuro for a
tremor and, since this has been so active
today, had been debating whether to tell
him or not. Now I will. Do I understand
that you don't have a neurological
condition? If you don't mind, do you
have any other medical conditions?
Any info is appreciated!

l am not sure where to post this, but l have similar reactions Posted: 03-29-08 13:37pm
My problems started with a fall two years
ago and it went straight down my left leg
like a searing hot stick and my legs were
tingling for the rest of the evening. l
went from Dr. to Dr. with different
diagnosis, and even to the point, they
thought l was just looking for drugs when
l was begging them to help me. l even
stopped urinating for 2 days which is an
emergency.
They would do x rays and saw herniated
discs, a ruptuered disc and also
deteriorating disc and said that l should
not be feeling the pain that l was saying
l had. l finally got to one Dr. who was a
Neurologist, who did a few tests on me and
did an MRI and saw a white lesion in the
front of my brain ( forehead area) and he
requested further testing to see what it
was and he came to me and told me that the
pain had not been in my head after all,
but the veins where the white lesion was
is what stopped me from urinating. They
kept me in the hospital to see if l could
urinate or not and l had to be catherized
many times and saw many neurologists who
were deciding on what to do, so they
finally said that they would send the
results back to my dr. and she was the one
who would decide what to do.
l went for a dye catherization on my head
only and ever since that dye injection , l
have had nothing but pain on the opposite
side of where the dye was injected.
This past week, l noticed that when l wake
up , l get this truly severe headache, and
l dread getting out of bed. lt is at the
base of my head where the pain has been
for awhile now, but the headaches are what
worries me. The Dr. thinks it is just
Migraines , but these are so painful l
almost feel like l m going to get sick
getting my head up. Once my head is up, l
am fine after moving around, but just
lifting up is the problem.
The dye was done almost a month ago, so it
is long past being an allergic reaction.
This morning , l saw 4 marks all
symetrical, straight down the side of my
face as though l have been scratched and
on my shoulder going towards my back.
Now has anyone ever had this happen to
them?
