Suggest Treatment For Crawling Feeling In Scalp, Extreme Nervousness And Anxiety
Question: I need help because I have wide variety of scary symptoms that make me scared and anxcious. These are symptoms I do not understand and they make me feel like something is seriously wrong. I am currently waiting for health insurance to kick in so I cant run to doctors.
My symptoms
- 1. tingeling and pins and needles in face.. in different spots, around eyes, forehead, lips, nose, sides... it started suddenly 2 days ago and doesn't really go away.. it gets better and then gets worse again
2. Crawly feeling in the scalp / started also 2 days ago
3. tingling and weird sensation of upper lip- started about 4 days ago and has gotten worse.. sometimes goes away but then I can feel it again
4. Burning feeling on top of the tongue without actually burning it..started day ago .. it is not red or more painful when touching something
5. Occasionally I feel pins and needles in wrist and calf but only on one side of body and not all the time
6. Twitching of eyes, more on right side and other muscles in leg and arm.. that has been going on for months but eye twitching has been more lately. It does not twitch all the time, just occasionally
7. Occasional painful leg muscles.. specially before bed or after active day... no numbness , just sorness- has been going on for a year at least
8. Extreme nervousness, fear and anxiety - more when symptoms happen
9. urge to poop a lot - mostly night time and when I am nervous
10. occasional dizziness but not so often
11. occasional headaches but not often
12. Pain around nose and sinuses.. not all the time .. it comes and goes
13. Feeling a lump in throat and tightness around neck - also not very often
These are my main symptoms. I am very worried about tingling of face and lips and head.. plus everything else. For more detailed.. I am obese but trying to loose weight, I have insulin resistance and my sugars have been higher lately, I am very stressed and nervous and symptoms make me even more nervous. I also work night time so I am sleep deprivied. I also have some dental problems.. 2 months ago had tooth extraction that had infection in sinuses, got antibiotics but I know I have 2 more teeth with infection on top. 2 years ago my blood results were fine and also ekg, heart ultrasound and cat scan of head.. still it has been 2 years and my sugars are worse than then.
What can it be... just anxiety? or something worse.. lupus? (no rash), MS? ALS? Brain tumor? or maybe strong sinus infection or even tooth infection pression on nerves? or can it be diabetic parasthesis.. I really do not have numbness. I do use magnesium, B complex vitamins. Please help and sorry for long story

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your detailed and exhaustive query to HCM,which got bounced to Me,from Many colleagues for its length and contents.
Read your query patiently and meticulously.I understood health concerns.

Based on the various facts submitted from You,You seem to suffer from -
GERD with food induced Dairrhea,
with Uncontrolled Diabetes,

Remedy Suggested-

-Get CBC-Complete Blood Test-to assess infection level and ? related or malabsorption-?anemia with it -which may be a cause for your tingling / pricks/ needles / leg cramps / twitches etc.
Treat anemia with needful Vit Folic acid /B12 supplements and with treatment of Carries Tooth.
Take Gabapentin- for pain/pricks/ fibromyalgias-which would soothen Disturbed Sleep.
-Get Stool-Ova/Cyst- to fix Giardia/or Ameba/ or enteric infection cause occassional night poops with intermittent diarrheas-
Treat it with Antibiotics +Metrogyl x for 10 days and keep it under control
-Get BSL-Fasting / PP and Hb1Ac- to asses diabetes status.
Treat uncontrolled diabetes and Ketosis-as it might be causing paresthesias,muscle cramps etc. and disturbed sleep.
-Get work up for Hypothyroidism which may complicate diabetic status/ or
Hyperthyroidism-which causes anxiety /irritability/ lack of Sleep.
Treat it after Consults from Endocrinologist,who would investigate and treat hormonal imbalances related to thyroid and diabetes.
-Add daily exercises / 20 mts jogging to keep fit and reduce on obesity which you have.
-Change your job hours to reduce lot of Circadian Stress .Get Sound 8 hrs sleep.
-Get Good controlled food with controlls on alcohol/smoking/ excess tea,coffee etc.
-keep hydrated with enough fluids.

So Don't Worry unless you fix it with from your doctors.
