Monday Blues

Today was still cloudy and on the chilly side. I had some severe headaches and tingling feeling in my face and arm back in December. That is when I decided to be more conscious about my diet. I don't get headaches. But last night the tingling came back. I have been averaging 5 headaches a month. But when the tingling came back I called the Dr. Went in and they did a bunch of neurological physical tests. Because this is my 2nd attempt at going with the same problems they scheduled an MRI. But I have to wait 3 days to schedule it. Kaiser is so weird with their ways. Anyways, maybe there is a chemical imbalance of some kind. At least we didn't cancel insurance yet, cause that is an expensive test. Rest of day was kind of boring and blah--laundry, housework, and yada yada. ON A MORE HAPPY NOTE I HAVE LOST 13 POUNDS!

Most likely both things are caused by tension...tingling in the arm/hands can definitely be caused by a "pinched" nerve in the neck (muscles tight, pinches nerve), and neck tension causes headaches. also, do you clench or grind your teeth? Can cause facial tingling/headaches, too! Probably need a night guard...doubt you need an MRI! My guess is the test will be normal! Don't worry and try to RELAX!!! Get a massage!
