What Is The Treatment For Arm Discomfort, Migraine, Tiredness, And Tingling In Cheek?
about a year ago I was diagnosed with CIS by a neurologist. I went for a second opinion who said I did not have MS. Since, I have had shingles and now have post whatever they call it pain. My question is....I still have a lot of the original symptoms like- a cuff like feeling around my left arm occasionally, severe migraines on my left eye, tired, and it all started with some tingling on my left cheek 10 years ago, which occasionally will pop up now and then. am I crazy?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and agree with your neurologist that you do not have features suggestive of multiple sclerosis.
The most likely cause for your symptoms is post-herpetic neuralgia, which commonly causes pain and burning in the affected body part.
You would benefit from medications such as carbamazepine tablets.
For migraine headaches, you could take beta blockers or topiramate tablets.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
