Hi ttynn

I too was the same as you with very similar symptoms. They never all came at the start. First it was the numbness and tingling in my lower legs for months then the twitching (eveywhere) I twitched so badly I could not sleep. I too thought I had a neurological problem.
When I first had the numbness and tingling I went to the doc and he said it was anxiety and stress. I could not and would not believe it. I felt fine that way.
Well to cut an even longer story short, I went back to the docs after nine months he said the same again. Just to make sure he sent me to a neurologist. Who didnt even want to do any tests..... even though I was so ill. So by then I had anxiety and depression and needed anxiety tabs, sleeping pills and anti depressants. Well once I ACCEPTED that it was anxiety and depression I was able to move forward. This was last November and now I take nothing and am REALLY a new person.
When you have anxiety your nerve endings are so raw with the adrenalin racing around you get terrible phyical symptoms, the more you worry the worse it gets. You have had many tests please dont put yourself through anymore, you have to draw the line and accept. The doc has told you he thinks its stress/anxiety or you wouldnt have mentioned it. Why not pop over to the stress and anxiety board and check out their phyical symptoms (same as yours).
There is a book called Hope and help for your nerves by Dr Claire Weekes it will explain your symptoms to you and how this has happened.
A shock I know to think its your nerves. There is lots that can be done for you but you have to make the start and accept what the doc has told you. I now have very slight symptoms getting less by the day (and they only come when Im stressed).

Good luck to you in your search for peace.
