Holycow, I'm glad I found you guys...I've got the same thing going on, now on a *@#!ing waiting list for 2 months to see the neurologist -- facial twitches, numbness, pins and needles, pain in the ear, numbness in my tongue, muscle tension in face and in neck, and the lovely spiderweb sensation in various places. Is any of this stress-related? All I know is that it's difficult to get to sleep 'cause of what you might be pushing around in that cervical spine area...It sure helps to know I'm not alone in all this 'cause it often feels that way.
