    Hi smile, my names is Nelson. I am not sure what disorder you are talking about, but I have had X-Ray's, MRI's, and CT Scans in the hopes of finding what is causing my random facial numbness, tingling, and burning. All the tests I have had have not revealed the cause to any of the neurologists I have spoke to. I have a spinal syrinx, but the images show no evidence of it affecting my nervous system at the level in my cervical vertebra. I had a bicep tenodesis surgery which has affect my posture, and these symptoms arose shortly after. Maybe the surgery had an affect, but I asked my neurologist and he said that stress and anxiety could have at least worsened my symptoms. I'd love to hear more about what's causing your issues! Maybe there are similarities?

    Hi Ann. 

    I also suffer from BFS.   It’s one of those things like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia etc...  it’s hard to understand and very scary if you go to google with it. Anxiety makes it way worse. I’ve had it for over a year now and things have gotten better. Again I have good days and bad and it usually depends on the stress levels.
