So sorry to hear about your dad.
I have some "ringing" knocking at times and I know I have read others have experienced this as well. Not sure what the cause is. It has gone away so far.
I get 'tingling' in the back of my neck. not sure if it is muscle spasms. Feels more like the fuzzy feeling you get when your feet are going to sleep cause you cut off the circulation to them. I have talked to the doc about this tingly numby feeling in my neck. I also have a spot on my back that does this. The doc said it was a side effect of prednisone I think that is the cop out answer when they don't know what is causing the symptoms I describe! LOL what do you do?
I think I can associate some of this to being a bit tired. I tend to get these symptoms when I have overdone things and need to rest.
Hope this helps! Thoughts and prayers your way in your time of sorrow! Take care of yourself!

I wrote on your other post but I will repeat here. I am so sorry to hear about your Father. That is really tough. Know you are in my thoughts and I am sending healing thoughts to you and your family.
The rear of my head gets very hot. I get warm flashes frequently. I also have electrical zaps in my jaws. I know DM can cause conduction issues and I think that is what is happening to me.
I will be seeing the neurologist in July. I will let you know what he finds.
I know as sisters in Jesus Christ, we can be confident of seeing our loved ones again. I know your dad gets to have dinner with King David!

You are in my prayers as you move forward.
