months back i had feeling on my face like little hairs fell on it. Not specific to one side either.They said sinus and gave me antibiotics.

Four rounds last year last one in decemeber. For whatever reason i had a Few sinus infections this past year. So today I feel the weird feeling again. Im wondering if anyone else gets this face weird sensation as I really think I have been on enough antiobiotics already. I also am still dealing with high frequency tinnitus as well from a three week bout with a head cold/flu back in decemeber. I have been healed for two weeks now.I do not feel stuffed up.i do have tmj as well. Trying to figure it out.

    I have these symptoms like ,cobwebs on my face , very irritating.

    I believe my symptoms are a result of using Gabapentin.

    or from sleeping in a home made pillow which was made from small blocks of foam .( my pilliow) which could create a static electric charge.

    I believe its more related to the Gabapentin which is a nerve pain drug and therefore affecting my nerves.

    Wondering if any others with this cobweb on face feeling is using Gabapentin?

    Thank you.

      Hi Thomas, I have used Gabapentin recently and I never thought that that could be what was causing the sensation of hairs on my face, I am also expeirencing the feeling of hair in my mouth and on my tongue while I have these sensations on my face. it is very irritating to have this feeling , I also do suffer from anxiety as well, but reading your post I never thought it could be from the Gabapentin!

      The sensation is mostly on the left side of my face, I do have it all over my face but on the left side more than any where else. I have tried brushing my tongue, using mouth wash more than usual and after so many days of that it did go away but then stays away for so long and comes back, I am no longer on Gabapentin, so I am not sure what is going on.

      Hi Thomas, Sorry I forgot to add this into my first reply, I was also wondering of it had anything to do with being allergic to cats!?!?! I have two short haired cats, they do shed a lot lately and one of them (youngest one) has been sleeping with me by my chest area and wondering if it could just be an allergy with her! Does anyone else with this problem have a cat or are allergic to cats???

      I'm talking about long term use , years , and heavy dose.

      I really dont care what others say , I know its the gabapentin.

      I'm experiencing this also & I used to take Gabapentin as well. The static thing also sounds plausible too. Wish someone could definitively pinpoint if there is an external cause or if it's more internal like something neurological.

      I do have a cat & he sleeps with me the same way but I was raised around animals on a ranch & have never had any allergies to animals or anything else. Can one suddenly develop an allergy like that?
