Hi, i am very confused and need some advise. Up until januray this year i did not have headahces and was perefctly fit and healthy and then i started getting pains in the back of my head at left side, the pains were excrutiating but only lasted around 5 - 10 seconds and went away and always in the same place. Often they woke me up at night as so sore. I got glasses and these stopped. At the same time i developed many other symptoms including a tingling, heavy feeling in left arm and tingling in left hand, tingling and numbness in left side of my back/shoulder area and a pain all around my left shoulder. Because there were so many symptoms my doctor put it down to a virus and i was off work for 3 weeks. I felt a little better and went back to work. That was 6 months ago, the tingling in my arm, hand and back on left side is still there but now the sore headaches in the same place at back of head has come back, as they were before, excruciating pain for 5 - 10 seconds. But this time I also have a wierd pain deep in my left ear ( which now feels like it is going a little deaf)and my vision is strange in my left eye as well as a numb feeling on the left side of my face. On top of this my hands keep going completly different colors as if the blood is not flowing. I have had no tests but have an appointment with a vascular consultant in 3 weeks but i am worried something will happen before that as my whole left side seems to be disfuctioning, my lewft side of face and head feels constantly tensed up like there is pressure inside and my ear is sore. I just wondered if anyoene else had these symptoms or knew what they were or what I should do? I have been to my doctor so many times, i feel bad going back but i really feel ill.

Any advice would be welcome.
