Stinging Feeling All Over Body, Itchy. Took Radiation Treatments For Brain Tumor. What Is The Cause Of This ?
These past few weeks I have been experencing on various parts of my body (not all at the same time) the feeling of
being stung by a bea or wasp however nothing is really stinging me. This stining feeling is also very itchy and has
occured on my breast - fingers - toes -feet - stomach -hips -neck - sids - arms - legs - and realy all over my body.
Approx.1 1/2 yrs. ago I underwent surgery for partial removal of a large Oligodendroglioma Brain Tumor that extende
into 3 locations in the front porions of my brain. After the surgery, I had 45 consequitive radiation oncology treatments and was also placed on a medication call tipromate which is the genetic form of topomax. I was put on this medication to prevent Brain Seizers that could result due to change in pressure on brain from removal of the t
tumor. I hate this medication and the adverse affect. I am wondering could this medication suddenly be causing these stinging sensations i have recently been having. If Not - what is causing them.
