In May 2008 i was sitting at my desk on the phone with a customer when my left arm began to ache/tingle/going numb, my left jaw felt tight and numb to where it was hard to form my words, I had a warm, flowing, prickly feeling in the left side of my head, and felt like I was going to pass out or like my brain was going numb or asleep but I was awake. I thought I was having a stroke and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Had an MRI & was told it was probably due to stress. I continued to have those episodes a couple of times a week, usually when I was sitting or driving but not always. A Neurologist said he thought it was due to the muscles in my neck. I had an ECG?? where they put the probes on my head but nothing showed up. I tried physical therapy, traction, injections, chiropractic to no avail. I thought maybe it was due to my cervical stenosis & discs that were impenging on my spinal cord so I had a double diskectomy in November 2011 which didn t help. For the last several years I almost constantly feel like I am living in a daze or brain fog with the more intense episodes at least daily to where I am really scared to drive. Things that used to come easy for me are much more difficult like remembering things, typing, doing math or our bills. All I get from Doctors around Fort wayne is I have never heard of that or that s unusual. I do have hypothyroidism with nodules that the doctors aren t concerned about and take levothyroxine, chronic migraines from perfume/colognes, flowery or strong soaps/deodorants/lotions/detergents/flowers, gas/oil especially the mixture of from a weed whacker or old truck burning rich, strong onions, the weather, when my sleep pattern strays from the usual, etc. I average about 3.5-5.5 hours sleep a night with many times awake during to change positions due to neck, shoulder, back, sciatic pain. When I have these intense episode I feel like I am going to lose my ability to think or am going to pass out (I have never in my life done so). Then last couple of weeks I have felt dizzy or light headed more than usual and just not well, exhausted. Do you have any ideas of what this could be? A doctor recently suggested Atipical Migraines. I am at my wits end.
