Hi,

Who has this and what does it feel like, do you get if off/on and does other areas of the body go numb/tingly too. Does the skin on your face tighten?

I have been having this symptom off/on for 2 years and wonder who else has this.

Thanks

I get that all of the time. Mostly on the left side of my face. Sometimes my left upper lip will twitch and my nose and left check become cold.(not only the feeling but cold too the touch.) Sometims I can feel a cold spot on the left check that feels like it has a tear running down it. I had sinus surgery in June hoping that ,that would solve the problem. It did for awhile but all of the feelings have come back. For some of us the bugs like the brain best,and the craineal(spelling) nerves are effect in a big way . Sometimes we can smell things that are not there,have sight problems, get bells paulsy. All of this can be caused by the bugs or a build up toxins in the fat layer around the nerves. I am not much of a typer nor do I have a good train of thought these days,and I hope I have helped in some small way. Take care and as always be as well as you can be

I have had facial tingling, along with hands and feet tingling for quite a long time.

In the last few months I have been feeling the tingling all in my head and other places in my body, as well. Sometimes it's little electrical shock feelings (not painful)and other times it's just a slight buzzing feeling.

It comes and goes except for hands, feet and face, which is constant...

This is one symptom that I haven't had any relief from with treatment...along with the ever present ear-ringing.
