Should I bring this up to my neurologist?!
Question: I have an appt. with my nuerologist Tuesday, for my migraines, a 3 month check up..but I was wondering if I should bring this up to her.
Since the end of December my lower right eye twitched, constantly sooo annoying I figured it would go away but it didn't and still does but the past couple weeks my left leg does, my lower right lip, and my cheek. My whole head gets a creepy-crawling feeling like it's pens and needles and then goes numb for a few minutes....It's beyond annoying and I can't sleep at all now.
Anyone know of what it could be?

There are (in layman's terms) a heck of a lot of nerves in your head. Compression (smashing) or injury to these nerves can cause the symptoms you're describing.
Yes, you should tell your neurologist.
You may want to look at these images:

The temporal and occipital nerves and the blood vessels they supply

It's difficult to find an image of facial and cranial nerves, since there are literally miles of them. However, each of the large nerves in the images above branches out into many many smaller nerves.
I frequently have eye twitches and creepy-crawling pins-and-needles feeling (good description!). I have a damaged, bulging disc in my neck that often compresses nerves that lead to my head and face.
dont know what it could be, but you should definatly tell your neurologist
Yes you should tell .
it might be connected to your migraines and the nerve signals your brain is sending to your body, so def. tell your neurologist because all things that we do are from nerve signals in the brain, even involuntary ones
I don't think that this is something you want people on Yahoo answers to even try to diagnose. Definitely something you should bring up at the appointment. May be related to the migraines but even the doc wouldn't be able to tell without testing.
