Hi to ya all, hope you're having a good day!

I'm a 62 year old unwell newbie who lives in North Yorkshire UK.

I have a few health problems -

Anorexia -

Angina - On Medication

Arthritis - On Pregabalin

Hypothyroidism - Levothyroxine

Hypotension - Ramipril - Face flushing and very hot.

For 3 years now I've been really struggling with Head, Face and legs tingling daily.

head tingling gets worse when I do my exercise. The tingling in the head is in random parts of the head all day/every day for 3 years now.

Head MRI and CT scan revealing Arthritis and Spondilothesis of the spine and neck.

Neck MRI has revealed a bone spur and a disc bulge in the neck

Neurosurgeaon has said if he operates it could make me worse, so try nerve meds to see if they help. He has given me PREGABALIN to take, but as yet not helping at all.

I am finding that exercise that I do daily make's the head tingling so much worse.

I got so bad that I took an overdose as the head tingling is destroying me and and aia can't seem to function like I us to.

Please, any help appreciated.

Thank you all and take care

Kind regards

Bubba

    Hi @Tetley, welcome to the community. Sorry to hear you've been going through this, it sounds so distressing.

    Are you in contact with your neurosurgeon at the moment? Perhaps you could ask whether a different dosage of your medication might work better to control your symptoms. Then if the Pregabalin isn't effective there may be some others that you could try instead. I know how frustrating it is to be living with something daily and having to try different things to control it but I hope you can get some relief soon.

    We're going to pop you an email today so please look out for that ☺️
