I have atypical migraine, which includes facial numbness and tingling, this runs across my forehead and down the left side of my cheek. I've had tongue numbness, burning & sometimes even a sore crampy feeling. The headaches would come and go, but the neurological symptoms were near constant. My neuro put me on a combo of lacosimide, verapamil & low dose amitriptyline. My neuro symptoms are mostly gone. My tongue will still flare. I maybe get a headache once a month now. A definite improvement!
