Hey everyone, I want to share my story here in hopes of getting advice, or perhaps relating to someone who has had a similar experience.

About 2 months ago was when my symptoms began. I started experiencing this tingling sensation in the left side of my chest, around my heart. It was very unsettling to say the least, and it would NOT go away. After about a week, I went to the urgent care because I was scared something was wrong. They did an EKG, chest x-ray and took some blood work and said everything was normal and it was probably just anxiety. I was relieved, but still a little concerned because the tingling wouldn't go away. It lasted for about 2 weeks before eventually, it stopped.

I really thought everything was okay after that...but a few days later I woke up and the back of my neck/shoulder was numb and tingly. I thought perhaps I had pinched a nerve or slept on it funny, so I disregarded it and it went away after about 2 days. However, the next few days afterwards my left arm started feeling *strange* or sort of sore, like I had strained it but I hadn't done anything to it. Eventually the left arm started to occasionally tingle.

This was followed by tingling sensations around my left temple for a couple of days. After a few days, I started getting this intense burning/tingling sensation in the back of my head that would last for several hours every day. It was really scary!

Then, some mornings I would wake up and my entire left side would be tingly! For a couple of days pretty much my entire left side would tingle non - stop.

(Let me clarify when I say "tingle" I just mean a mild tingling sensation - I was not experiencing complete numbness or loss of sensation, nor any weakness - I could still move around alright and was not in any pain.)

These symptoms would usually just be in one spot at a time though, like some days the back of my head would tingle, other days just my arm would be tingly, other days my left temple would tingle. Or I'd wake up and my left side would be tingly, but it would eventually go away after a couple of hours.

One day I woke up and my entire left side of my face was tingly!

Eventually I started to experience a few new symptoms - intense head pressure and neck discomfort/tightness. It comes and goes, just like the tingling. The head pressure feels like my head is about to burst open, sometimes it's so bad I need to go lay down in a dark room. Fortunately it isn't constant, but it's annoying and scary.

The neck tightness feels like someone is choking me, I felt it consistently for about 4 days, then after that it came and went.

Sometimes when I'm laying in bed at night, I also notice sharp random pains that migrate around my body.

The tingling sensations migrate around the left side of my body and come and go - but they are ONLY on the left side.

This has been going on for 2 months and it's very frustrating. I did see my primary care doctor a couple of times, but after doing tests and bloodwork (which came back normal) he concluded he had NO idea what was going on, and he is referring me to a neurologist.

The problem is I can't get into see a neurologist for 3-6 MONTHS! So I haven't been able to have a CAT scan/ MRI done, and I'm thinking the only way I can do that is if I walk into the ER ... but none of the doctors I've seen seem to think it's serious enough to warrant that.

Has anyone experienced anything similar??? I am so frustrated right now.
