Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia

A link to some research on POTS  treatment

For more in depth information on this often debilitating condition pay a visit to http://dinet.org/

At the moment I am getting strange sensations on my scalp, which come from nowhere.  Earlier we were sitting watching tv when I felt as though I was getting mini electric shocks/tingling under the skin on my scalp.  I tried ignoring it until husband asked if my eye was ok as that was drooping.  How nice it had been before this, a rare moment on our own in front of a roaring fire.   I have been having this on and off for a while.  It does seem to coincide with a flare of PHN, so I guess nerve endings.  Sometimes it occurs when I bend my neck.  No matter.

The days I like were just like today.  A lazy Sunday.

I know I just finished commenting on your other post! hehe.

Tingling, burning, shooting pain is nerve pain. A BIG sign of instability in the neck: impinging nerves.

Droopy face and eyes are impingement of cranial nerve 7. IE: the earlier conversation about joint laxity in the neck causing chiari, also causes this problem. I have a droopy face and a weak smile, and the more tired I get, the worse it gets.

Sweet dreams!
