Default Same symptoms

No, I have no family history (nor personal history) of anything related to this. I haven't had any injuries that would have caused something like this either.

I have researched so many conditions involving the nervous system and the problem is it doesn't really fit the pattern of like, anything. With peripheral neurophathy and other conditions it appears to affect parts such as the feet/lower legs and hands. But this is not really in my feet or hands at all - its my upper left arm, left leg and the left side of my face? And these sensations come and go so much - every day it seems like it's jumped to a different spot! Some days I feel no tingling at all.

I have a medicaid type coverage right now, so it's VERY limited. I don't have many options. I think my doctor just thinks it isn't serious enough to be concerned about, and the insurance won't cover an MRI/CAT, so he didn't even mention it as a possibility - just that I would have to wait several months to see a neurologist. :/
Hi Wendyjane,

I am having almost the EXACT same symptoms. I've had every test imaginable (and even adopted a gluten/ dairy free diet which seemed to help) but the migrating numbness (almost like an achy pain) will not go away. I've had it now for a little over two months. I've had an MRI, xrays and an EMG of my arm but everything comes back negative. Can I ask if you ever figured out the root cause?
