TransientParesthesia: A sensation of pricking, tingling, or creeping on the skin. Transient type is very common. Paresthesias that do not persist are unlikely to be associated with a serious medical problem. Most people have experienced a transient type of paresthesia they describe as "my leg falls asleep" or "tingling sensation on my face". Rec.: see your pcp for evaluation.

Aura without migrain: Knowing that you suffer from migraine headaches, it is quite likely that these symptoms represent aura without migraines or if headache follows these symptoms then it will be called aura with migraines. You need prophylaxis for migraines.
