I have had several symptoms for months now and I have been to several doctors about them and no one can tell me what is wrong. So I was hoping to get some imput from others who may have the same symptoms or know something that it could be so I can mention it to my doctor. I have a feeling it has something to do with my brain.

Symptoms:

Tingly/ numbness feeling in hands, arms, face, back and top of head, and sometimes in my spine.

A tickle type of feeling in my head.

I started grinding my teeth a lot, and I feel very anxious sometimes.

My eyes have trouble focusing when I wake up.

My head throbs when I stand up, I have to stop for a second so I don't get dizzy.

I have been feeling very tired, all I want to do is sleep.

I have no motivation to do anything.

I feel weak sometimes.

I know there are some other things that I am just not thinking of right now. But those are the main ones.

Please let me know what you think it could be or have any information at all.

Also wanted to add, one doctor gave me some anxiety meds, thinking that would help, but it didn't.

Do you think there could have been some kind of injury to your neck or back? Have you been urinating more frequently than usual? It sounds like diabetes could be a possibility. It is hard to put all those symptoms together! I will give you this website that I found that describes possible causes of numbness and tingling. I think it has lots of information that may help you: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/ar ticle/003206.htm

Let us know if you can get it figured out!
