Don't feel bad, it is just very hard for anyone online to make suggestions without some base testing info/or a dx of some sort.
Then we could help and suggest things better. ![]() Best of luck on your new dr search. A good blood workup would be a place to start with the new dr and then see what steps come next.

When you go to a doctor, it would be a good idea to get B12, Vit D and zinc tested.
Vit D when very low can cause tingling. When tingling hits the face, it strongly suggests low calcium (hence low Vit D). Doctors however are very likely to diagnose tingling in the face as anxiety (psychosomatic)..so prepare for that one. Keep a journal too, and see if there are food triggers. Gluten is one food (wheat, rye, barley) that can cause nerve issues. If tingling goes away after you eat, then that suggests some blood glucose problem...lows will cause paresthesias in some people. Low magnesium also will cause problems, but testing for this is spotty and only reliable when very very low or very very high. The midrange called "normal" is not really normal and may be too low for some and not others. There is a lotion now with magnesium in it, you can try on your legs... Morton Epsom Lotion. This is very nice and helps alot of those with marginal or mildly low magnesium levels. WalMart carries it and so does Amazon online. It is still rather new and not in all stores yet. You don't need to slather this on, but only use about a quarter's diameter on each leg once a day. Do not apply on broken skin or sores.

Kalel,
Please don't feel that way. Everyone comes here with questions and concerns, and there are no more serious health issues than the ones that affect each of us personally. Doc

Kalel,
Don't ever feel that way. We are all here to help one another. My doctor left and I found a new one by asking him who he would recommend. The recommendation was great. If it is possible to get in touch with your old doctor try that. Good luck and please update us. |
