Hi everyone.

I'm not sure what is causing this but here's my story and any input will be greatly appreciated.

I get these crawling, moving, tingling, numbness sensations on the back of my head/scalp about 4-5 times a day. I've experienced these for about a month now. An MRI (w/o contrast) a few months ago was unremarkable except for sinusitis. A cervical MRI 4 months ago showed compression of disks and a few other things (I can't remember what they were now).

I do have a history of alcoholism, anxiety, panic attacks, Tourette's syndrome (with head jerking), I was in a 35MPH automoblile accident several years ago in which my head smashed into the windshield, I suffer from Hypochondria, Agoraphobia, ADHD, GERD, IBS, etc.

I guess that's about it. Does anyone else have thse symptoms or have an opinion as to what might be causing them?.

Thanks do much - Need4Change

Any one of those things could cause that; anxiety alone can cause creepy crawly sensations; numbness and tingling, etc. And, from very personal experience, hypochondriasis just makes you focus on thiese symptoms more.

I have had them, usually around the time period just before a migraine. I too have had CT scans with nothing remarkable. I always figured it was something going on chemically, or blood vessells expanding like with migraines. ANd for me it starts with changes in the atmosphere's barametric pressure
