Question: I got taken to hospital 10 years ago. Had a tingling go through my head, lost all senses/balance, felt all tingly, sweats, vomitted. Had a CT Scan and Lumbar Puncture (unremarkable). Got sent home the next day. Went back and forth to the docs because i never really got better. Had splitting headache from LP for 3 weeks. Lumps came up on my legs and was diagnosed as Panniculitis. These continued periodically for the last 8 years. No cause was found. Usually before the lumps appeared i would have a severe faint/dizzy/poisoned feeling which would persist for at least a couple of months. I have not had the lumps for a couple of years but feel my health has deteriated. At best i feel concussed/dizzy. At worst i have a tingly feeling go through my head then like a "power has been turned off feeling" and lose balance (not spinning). This persists for hours/days and then is followed by months of feeling poisoned/dizzy/concussed to the point where my brain is totally fried. ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP. Have tried numerous migraine medication to no avail. Alprazolam and Diazepam can sometimes give me slight relief.
