Hi Laxgirl
I would say that this was my first peri sympton - quickly followed by many others.
It is quite strange and scary. Have been told it can be hormone related, but also anxiety/stress makes it worse. The tip of the tongue can also go bright red and sometimes the numbness can lead on to a burning sensation.
Apparently not much you can do to make it go. Someone mentioned b12 deficiency, so am taking some b12 supplements to see if it helps.
