Yes!!!! my left temple has receded dramatically since I had those Tingling/Electric zaps/hair moving like sensations/burning it started July 2019 till the f*****g now!
Elaborate? Because I think you're wrong.
Have you seen a dermatologist yet - or just a neurologist?
Ok, first of all glad to hear the MRI was fine. I don't understand how the vagus nerve is affecting your scalp as it's major innervation is the stomach and abdomen. The vagal nerve complex is just below your rib cage and I get severe pain there when I am stressed. The vagal nerve is more involved with gastritis than your scalp. If I had to guess you might have some type of virus living in your nerve cells( neuron cells) in your scalp and with stress it gets worse and causes that tingling, electrical zaps. A similar condition is from Herpes Zoster( adult chicken pox) and you can get trigeminal neuralgia with that condition which could involve the face or scalp. When I went thru a huge traumatic event( Category 5 hurricane) I started to get electric zaps, tingling in my mouth. I never had such a thing in my whole life. It eventually went away on its own but I know it was caused by stress. Have you been under any amount of stress?
I appreciate your reply, Ty! Exactly, I had tons of concerns that his diagnosis was "bullshit" but he told me that (Dogmatil) was the magical medicine to my case...
Yes 95% of it is on my left temple. (from the vertex to the temple) it does happen on the rest of my scalp but less severe and less frequent!
Yes, Caffeine (Tea and Coffee) used to make my symptoms 10 times worse.
It sounds like you have a very unusual condition -these seem harder to diagnose. I had to do a lot of research before I figured out what was wrong with my scalp (lichen planopilaris) - the first docs I went to were clueless about it. If you're not satisfied with your diagnosis, maybe try seeing another Doctor if you can? Even if you've already seen a few - I know how frustrating it can be as I've also been dealing with pain and multiple docs. Stress also makes these conditions worse I think. Good luck with finding out what is causing this for you...once you get the right meds hopefully it will get better
I was amazed to find this post. I had the same experience as you. I got extremely worried and upset, the muscles in my back, shoulder and neck tensed up and this lasted under 2 weeks. In addition to that, I twisted my neck to try to relieve myself of the pain I was having, which likely made the situation worse. So I experienced telogen effluvium from all this almost immediately and not eating enough. Months later I was stressed again and got similar pains but to a much less severe extent. I also was getting trichodynia and times where the scalp would be red, have pain, raised spots and bleed. From my psychological state, I got hair thinning on the right vertex region of my scalp. I went to see many dermatologists and trichologists about this condition. All said what I had was male pattern baldness and a couple said it could have been triggered by telogen effluvium. I am thinking though there could be lichen planopilaris or a tiny trace of pseudopelade of brocq that they couldn't identify. It seems amazing how in seeing so many professionals none thought there could be a scarring issue involved after what I had been through. However one neurologist looked at my hair and thought it might be autoimmune related. I refuse to get a biopsy but might go the route of multiphoton microscopy or confocal microscopy to get better clarity on the situation regarding my hair.
All I can it's nasty, disgusting pain.
The bloodflow thing. Reduced bloodflow to scalp actually reversed hairloss in a man in a study.
Just f*****g LoL.
Had too much weed and alcohol yesterday Night.
