I have a 1.2 cm meniginoma . I have been having tingling sensation to my forehead and right eye area. I have been told this is pressing on the trigeminal nerve. Does anyone have these symptoms? Trying to find a medication that with relieve these symptoms. I am watching and waiting to see if grows, surgery sounds scary due to location near carotid , brain stem.

Hi, @cyndymc - I'd like to tag @jill333 @donald1214 @gloriajean @robinem so they can share some of their experiences with meningioma as well as whether they may have had a tingling sensation in the forehead and right eye area.

Is surgery being recommended for you at this time, or is the doctor also thinking watching and waiting is best? Did your neurologist have any medication to offer to alleviate the symptoms?

I also have a meningioma that is 2.4 cm since last scan in October. I am having the same symptoms as you but also balance problems and numbness in feet. Doctor recommended Gabapentin but don't want to take it. My NS says the tingling numbness in forehead, eye and now lip is not connected to the meningioma. He is suggesting the watch and wait, too. I have another MRI in January. Good luck to you.
