Is this a form of demyelination?

I have started developing the strangest numbness/pressure/tingling feeling from the middle of my forehead, between my eyes, below my eyes and to the tip of my nose.

If I push on the area, or crinkle my face or forehead, it goes away for about 10 seconds, then returns.

Anyone know the cause of this?

Anyone know how to alleviate this sensation?

This sounds like I what experience. It's feels a little like a sunburn sensation.

I've no idea what's causing it or how to alleviate it but would love to hear theories.

It seems weird that it only reaches my forehead and no higher.

Hey CLR..

I can't say exactly... so it might be best to contact your LLMD about it before he/she leaves for the weekend.

If it gets worse, call your regular doc... or go to the ER. OK?

Once given the all clear by the LLMD... you might contact a chiropractor.

It could be swelling is causing pressure on the spinal column and causing nerves to be slightly pinched off.

It could be a reaction to medicine.

Hard to say... that is why it is important to contact your LLMD.

Please let us know how you are doing after you speak to the docs office... ok?
