Migraines started 8 years ago, 6 years ago started having facial tingling, this only lasts for a second and disappears. Went to neurologist, told her about this, she wanted to do brain MRI because my maternal grandmother had MS, and my Mom and Grandfather have both suffered with migraines all their lives. So, I was to scared to have the tests done. I do have migraines. Then one night I was watching TV and I started seeing black spots all over everything, I knew that this could be a migraine, because my Mom has had the black spots on things before, I panicked though, and when I did, my arm went numb, and also the side of my face. Even though I knew that this could be from migraines, I worried that maybe it was MS. So, a few weeks after this all happened, worried constantly, I had a terrible anxiety attack one evening when out to dinner with family. It left me with 3 months of extreme nausea, I had every stomach test done that is imagineable, nothing was wrong. So, in the year 2002, I fell in our perc test hole in our yard and hurt my lower back, so I went to the chiro because it hurt to sit, my tailbone just ached terribly. When I went in to see him, I also told him about the migraines, I figured why not kill 2 birds with one stone, well after he adjusted me he told me that he thought from my symptoms that I had either fibro, MS, or a brainstem tumor, I flipped out, and while driving home I started burning, my skin felt like someone rubbed ben-gay on me, it was everywhere, then the itching started in my hands, feet, and butt cheeks, I was truly a basket case at this point. So this spring I decided that I can't do this to myself anymore, I had the brain MRI done w/ contrast, Normal, then the cervical, normal, doc said there is no need to do LP because he said that I'm just a ball of nerves. I started taking buspar for anxiety, and before have taken xanax, and it does (xanax0 help alot with the strange feelings that I get) seem to be working. I forgot to tell you, cervical MRI showed a bulging disk, doc feels that the facial tingling is coming from my neck, I have been in 3 rear-ended accidents in the last 13 years. My only problem now is I can't stand to wear clothes, the clothes touching my skin makes me feel like there are bugs crawling on me, pull the clothing away from my skin and it stops, why? This is my only complaint, is this somatic? Or what? Am I just focusing to much on this? Or does this sound like MS? If I'm naked, nothing, in the hot tub, nothing, I need some advice please, if anyone can help me out, and if you want to tell me I'm crazy, you can, cause I agree!!!!! Thanks so much !
