a few weeks ago I started getting this pin prick feeling in the back of my thigh and it made my leg involuntarily jerk. It reminded me of being at a doctor's office when the doctor checks your reflexes. It has now happened a few more times. (this is only involving my left leg)
It does not happen at night (no at night my leg just hurts a lot and that has been going on since last fall and the NO knows about it but didn't seem impressed with it)
it happens when I am sitting at my desk working in the middle of the day.
Has anyone else experienced this one? I'm just tired of all the stuff that goes with this disease.

Another symptom now is my mouth pain. I went to the dentist no cavities...but the pain radiates like a pulse across my teeth. I'm thinking this could be trigeminal neuralgia but that's another story.
I did have a confirmed diagnosis of IIH last year but the headaches have subsided....I just wonder if this is really another diagnosis and my NO and neurologist have missed it.
