Hi Inola, I would advise you to tell your GP at today's appointment. It could be your medications but it's best to get yourself checked out to be on the safe side. 😊

hi, yeah I get this, actually have it right now.

im not on meds, so cant be that for me, I did have a headache earlier, and am getting a bit of wonky vision (colours off in peripherals and a "pixelated" effect when moving from focus to focus) any of this affect you also?

Hi India. I have this sometimes and it is alarming...I have been told it is migraine which I do have, but just another more severe symptom and it can last for a few days and be debilitating... It usually makes me feel quite dizzy and I can feel nauseous with it too

Hope your doctor sorts out the problem today X

Hi again Inola. Apologies for getting your name wrong. Cataract and a bit of blurred vision to blame. Hoping you are no worse than earlier x

Yes, I get pins and needles regularly on the right side of my face. The neurologist diagnosed me with trigeminal neuralgia. Pregabalin helps for me. Talk to your GP about your symptoms

Hello sorry I didnt keep you updated, I went to the doctors and they said it could be something that comes and goes or it could be bell's palsy, the pins and needles went on Monday but now they are back but they are not tingling they are pinching and hurting a lot, I'm going to go back today to talk to them again and see what that say this time
