Hi Mindy,

Happy that you found us. Sorry to hear about your mastectomy. My aunt suffered breast cancer for the last 9 years and she always told me she felt some strange nerve sensations.

Just a couple of thoughts. The dip and fluctuations in estrogen when going through menopause can actually heighten pain and nerve sensitivity. And the fact that you feel it in your legs and pelvic area mean it could be related to menopause since there are many nerves and estrogen receptors in that area. Might want to talk to GYN doc about just getting baseline testing on sex hormones. I know with breast cancer that estrogen can be a nono.

Also make sure to et your B12 and Folates checked. Somtimes supplementing that can help neuropathy type symptons.

Dont know about the tingling in the front of your brain But your pituitatry gland is up there and is involved in meopause as it stops communicating with the sex glands.
