What could this be? I'm 30 years old and have had this for 3 years, the klonopin takes it away but I don't want to take that because withdrawal starts to kick in if I don't up dose. this all started 3 years ago when I had a horrible virus and was throwing up. Ever since Neuro's haven't been able to figure it out what it is, maybe that's because they have bee looking for something brain related when it's in fact external. I have an appointment with Diamond Headache Clinic on the 20th and that is my next step. this thobbing/tingling sensation is with me 24/7.
