Hi everyone,
Over the past two weeks I have been terrified that I have MS. Randomly last Monday I started having this sensation around my body like water was dripping on me or like pin pricks. Then later in the week that subsided and I felt tingling in my foot. Then both sensations have come and gone and now I have slight tingling in my left calf (same side as foot).
I have seen my Dr. twice and she is convinced it is my anxiety. Has prescribed me Lexapro as I have not taken an anti-anxiety or depression med before and I have had over 6 panic attacks from freaking out about this potential MS. She doesn't believe the symptoms of it are MS. Although, the MS symptoms I have googled are vague and broad and women are more prone to getting it.
I just can't seem to shake it although these symptoms can be so emblematic of other things (including anxiety). I know that I haven't completely abandoned the though, despite getting better through the past week. I just keep freaking out that I have this and can't get over it.
Anyone else experience these symptoms? How do you get over it and reconcile it with it actually being anxiety? How concerned should I be? Thank you.
