I have it on my face, its horrible, its worse than any other part of my body when it comes on.It started off as the odd 'twinge' or odd 'sensation' on a small part of my face, usually the forehead in 2001, but covered more and more of the face as the years went on, it was mainly on the left side only but spread to the right side recently, I get weird numb spots on my eyelids as well as mainly around the left eye and sometimes weird altered sensations on the cheeks and around the eyes and forehead and also under the chin.It doesn't affect the mouth or tongue. It sometimes almost completely vanishes but comes back for no reason and tends to linger for longer and longer periods as the years have gone on. I had an MRI and they didnt see anything abnormal, no signs of stroke etc. As I said in previous posts I believe mine was caused by toxins but im not 100% sure. I think smoking aggeviated it as since I have stopped for 3 weeks now it seems not to come on so much but it still does come on, im starting to wonder if stress is playing a part in it as well...

I read Mrsd's post, I didn't realise it could be caused by an electrolyte imbalance, esp calcium/magnesium as I took calcium and magnesium tablets a while back and had to stop after 4 days as it made the numbness/altered sensations in my face worse for some reason...

Can you let me know what your neurologist says about it when you hear please. Thanks
