To add to the confusion, recently my husband has had several episodes of tingling that start on face, cheek, then corner of lip, arm, with decreased fine motor control of fingers. It is transient (several seconds to minutes), one side at a time, but strangely has occurred bilaterally.

Neurology exams & scans (CT & MRI) are negative. Does not have symptoms of stroke during episodes (hand strength, drooping mouth, etc.) Has had neuropathy since chemo, but this is new. I could write more....

Obviously, I'm not looking for a dx here, but I also am wondering if this has happened to anyone else post tx.
