Re: Pins needles tingling numbing
Lana,
So sorry to hear your anxiety if flaring up. I haven't experienced this but I am well versed in anxiety. Let's see if you can get grounded in a few comments you made in your post that are quite logical but you may not be seeing it through the haze of anxiety.
long history of anxiety/I am also going through a very hard period in my life
The first thing you must do is take a deep breath and recognize that although the symptoms are new, the pattern and story you are telling yourself is not. You understand that anxiety is part of your life and that tingling and numbness in appendages is very common with anxiety. Remember, in the height of anxiety your body enters fight or flight mode and blood will be rushing to the most important areas in this response namely your heart (palpitations) and lungs. This can happen to any limb at any time. This certainly can be happening to you if you have been going through a very hard period of life and are in a regular state of stress.
in July...MRI was normal
This is something you can hold on to for stability if you are concerned about it being neurological. You had an all clear MRI, that's a good thing and that's truth.
This coming Friday I have a neurologist appointment/I googled it
You have an appointment with a medical professional in less than two days. Trust that the doctor will provide you with the help you need. Google will not help you so stay off it and stick to what I've already detailed as being true because Google is not truth for you.
Best Wishes.
