Throughout all the medications I've been taking, I've never had the top of my head go numb. I've also never had the numbness travel down to the bottom of my ears. I've never had both of my hands go numb. This was last week.
Because these symptoms are new, I took myself to the emergency room. I was given at CT scan. The results were clear - no swelling, no stroke, no tumor. If it happened again I was supposed to return to the ER.
Monday is when my hands went numb for most of the day. The numbness did not move up my arms. It simply stayed in my hands. The people I told automatically said carpal tunnel but I've never had any symptoms of carpal tunnel so it would be weird for it to come out of the blue and be in both hands on the same day. It eventually went away on it's own.
Tuesday, as I was going for a long walk, the top of my head went numb again. I didn't freak out. I told myself there was nothing wrong with me. The CT scan was clear. I could go have an MRI but because of my medical history, my doctor and the ER docs were cautious about exposing me to more radiation.
I spent some time taking inventory of my life. I talked with God about all areas to see if there's something I'm missing that's adding an element of stress I've missed. Everything was good to go. I can't figure it out. Even as I type this the upper right hand side of my head is getting a little numb.
Unfortunately, Faith was out sick today so I couldn't talk to her. I thought she could help me brainstorm some possibilities as to why this is happening.
Maybe I should just go to the ER.
