On occasion i have a strange sensation on the side of my face/head. It usually starts in the scalp above the ear, but extends to my cheek, lower jaw, and today it is in my eyesocket.

It's called neuralgia. It can be associated with TIA but you're likely to get similar lack of sensation down the opposite side of your body to the face ache side as well if it's TIA.
"Sometimes referred to as a "mini-stroke" or "warning stroke," a TIA is caused by a temporary interruption in the blood supply to the brain. But, unlike a stroke, a TIA does not lead to permanent brain damage. While a TIA is usually short-lived, it is likely to occur again if not properly managed and can be a warning of future stroke."
