Can anyone here relate to these symptoms? For the past week I've had severe pins and needles sensations in both my legs and arms. They are worse at night, and some of them feel like electric shocks shooting through my limbs. The only time I had these symptoms was before was when I was withdrawing from Citalopram. I am having greating difficultly sleeping and getting so anxious about my symptoms that I think I'm making them worse. I keep thinking it's MS or something terrible like that. I saw my GP yesterday and she tested the nerves in my legs by tapping my knees. One leg wouldn't react, after several taps thankfully it did, but she said my body is really tense. I had blood tests this morning to check it isn't anything more serious, but I can't help thinking what if it is, and they miss it on the tests. These thoughts are only making me feel worse, so it's like a vicious cycle right now.
