sherrilyoung,

The sensations you feel in your head could be due to cranial nerve involvement.  Such involvement is relatively rare, but it does happen.  I know, because it happened to me.  My neurologist also dismissed my concerns about it.  Because the overall treatment also helped deal with it, I did not press the issue.  However, if the symptoms had persisted, I would have more forcefully insisted that we consider cranial nerve involvement.

The best way to get these symptoms to resolve is to get effective treatment for your other symptoms.  Has that happened yet?

Godspeed in your recovery,
