I do remember at the time I was worried about getting a cold sore, as I had read that it can be spread to other parts of the body. I have seen a neurologists and he believes just anxiety, also my brain mri was clear. Also, would something like ms only affect one side of the lips and nose as opposed to both? I have read that the nerves control the feelings in either side of the face, so wondered if it would only affect half the lips and nose. Thanks

Could you have a sinus infection? Seen an allergist, along with a neurologist? If your first MRI came clear, count your blessings you don't have lesions showing up. If your neurologist, feels it's anxiety, what other doctor specialists, has he recommended/mentioned?
MS, can do things to the body, such as weird numbness, due to lesions being at various places on the brain. And, if your MRI came clear, perhaps, it stands to reason, you haven't had an aneurysm, that too, would show up in the MRi, and good thing there no glioblastoma, that too would show up. OMG!!! Phew...your MRi was clear!!
