After trying 2 prescribed medications to relieve my facial tingling, I had to give on them due to horrendous side effects which I couldn’t take, has anyone discovered anything else in a more natural remedy which works?
My GP isn’t being very helpful.

Hi. I do not know how to solve paraesthesia. For me sand on my foot is amazing; it appeases and satisfies my nerves which are begging for gentle stimulation. In other words, I consider it (parae.) a good thing. I do use essential oils to attenuate the tingling, in particular Copaiba which our CBD receptors respond to ; cbd oil itself should help. I’m afraid that’s the extent of my knowledge, but if I can think of more things, I will post here.
I remember a walk I did a year ago, and the parae. was extreme in my foot, but I worked out that I was feeling the blood flow through my veins… more simply, my circulation. And it may be an over sensitivity to that. If you increase circulation does P increase proportionately?
I hope it will attenuate with time; meanwhile it may get uncomfortable at times. I went through a plethora of problems (and still go through a few) that it may have never made the top 10 in my list of probs. !!
Good luck, Roland

I empathise, having the same problem. I use an essential oil mix of rosemary, Copaiba, frankincense and myrrh with a castor oil and grape seed oil base. It helps on my face but not so much anywhere else where the parathesia is more intense. I have sort of got used to it on my face now but there are still days when it’s more uncomfortable. As @pando says, hopefully, it will attenuate with time. And if it doesn’t, we will adapt and learn to live with it. Hopefully.

@Injebreck99 I wonder if you need to allow longer for the side effects to settle & the meds to start working. Sometimes this can be weeks rather than days but I would hope the dr who prescribed them would have told you this. Of course, if the side effects are worse than the initial problem then that puts a different perspective on it. Everything stroke related takes time & heaps of patience sadly.
Hope you get some reprieve soon.

Definitely have a lot of uses for Rosemary, including any burning Buzzing / peripheral neuropathy. It’s my goto oil at the mo
