Hi, Does anyone else get a tingling and numb feeling in their head and on left side of face? It is mostly on my left side. Thanks Jen

I get tinglings like that, too ... don't know if it's related to all my other symptoms, though. It's almost always from the neck up, sometimes more prickly, sometimes there's numbness; like this morning, I have numbness around my chin and bottom lip area.

But, if that's your only symptom, it could be from some other condition. Do you have other symptoms?

I have been doing alot of research on menopause symptoms. This sharp/tingling is normal, especially in the head area, and is generally thought to be a precursor to a hot flash.

Wow....I've been experiencing tingling/numbness on the left side of my face for a while now (I'm 45 and have other 'weird' menopause symptoms) but never related it to menopause. I had my teeth x-rayed/examined, even went to a neurologist, both could find nothing wrong.

Isn't this time of our lives just grand????

No wonder they used to think women went crazy during menopause!
