Here's my story:
For about a month I was getting a tingling in my right ankle, it would come and go throughout the day. I can't remember when it stopped but about a month after it stopped, whenever I would lay down to go to sleep I would get a weird feeling in my right foot. This happened for about a week until one morning I woke up and it was still there and it was also in my right lower leg. Then a couple hours later it was in my left lower leg as well. With in 24 hours I was having a really weird symptom in my legs, arms, back, and stomach. Whenever I would get touched or rubbed against something I would get a tingling/buzzing feeling in those spots. I started panicking of course and went to a dr. I went to two GP's and a physiatrist. I had two clinical exams, blood work, an EMG, and a nerve conduction test. All came back normal and the drs told me it was stress/anxiety related.
My symptom has improved to where I don't feel it much anymore throughout the day, but I wake up in the middle of the night and my legs and arms, and sometimes my stomach are tingling/buzzing when I touch them against my bed.
I've also had:
Frequent urination
Dizziness
Feeling off balance
Random tingling all over body
Pins and needles in hands
Patches of numbness in legs
A feeling of numbness in my feet when I layed down
My fear is MS and it has been since day 1, so I know that the symptoms I just listed are all created by my anxiety bc they come and go depending on which one I am focusing on that day. These symptoms I know are created by myself, but the one I still get is the tingling/buzzing when touched.
I'm really nervous that I have MS. I do know that it gets worse when I'm stressed out, if I have a stressful day, anything that puts pressure on my skin will cause the feeling. I was having a conversation with a friend about my Mother in law and my tingling/buzzing was very bad bc the conversation was making me very angry. But I know that stress can cause your MS symptoms to heighten.
I've been getting these feelings for two months now. I still have not gone probably more then 20 minutes without thinking about it, would that continue to make my symptom stay?
Can anyone help me!?!?
