WHAT IS CAUSING THIS!!!??? PLEASE HELP! :(?

Hi, i have been experiencing tingling in multiple parts of my body for about 4 months now. I experience it mainly in my arms and legs but i also get in on my ribs and right near my armpits oh and also on my belly??? I have had MRI's CT-scans of the head, blood works that are all fine.. and I'm getting referred to a neurologist soon but i just can't work it out? What do you think it is? I do get back pain in the lumbar spine & thoratic spine, do you think it could be radiculopathy or something more serious like "MS" i do have other symptoms that could be related to MS but im hopping it's not that! Or maybe it could be fibromyalgia?? what is the tingling symptoms of fibro like??? ahhh this is sooo bloody horrible! PS i am a 20 year old Female with a 7 month old daughter just to let you know a little of my background and i don't have any STDS/diseases etc... thanks heaps, hope you can help.

Some things to consider ruling out with your physician:

nerve compression
peripheral neuropathy
B12 deficiency
a circulatory disorder
anxiety
nerve injury or a pinched nerve

In your previous post you stated that you had normal CT and MRI scans.

I'm sure that your physician will do a follow-up should your symptoms change and become more like MS.  Please try not to cause more anxiety for yourself by thinking it's something more serious, as anxiety causes those with FMS to flare.  

Tingling and numbness is one of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.  Is your doctor doing anything to treat this?

Hi,
No he isn't doing anything to treat my tingling. I know this sounds crazy but i actually hope i have Fibromyalgia...anything has got to better then "MS"! Thanks for your little ray of sunshine/hope. Do you have fibro? If you do, please tell me how you feel & what all your symptoms are. Thanks for your post, you made me feel a little better & i hope you feel better that you made somebody elses day that you don't even know.

Thanks :)

I wrote to you on the other posting you put up. One thing they will probably check for is doing a MRI of the neck. They did that for me to rule out any problems there. I do have arthritis of the neck, but that isn't the cause of my problems.

For me personally, I have tingling off & on in various parts of the body and for years it was brushed off as anxiety.  While it may be a result of anxiety at times for me, I was just recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after a year & a half of one weird thing after another happening to me with no medical explanation.  My neurologist said the tingling can definitely be related to the fibro.

For me, I had extreme fatigue (and I do mean extreme), depression, anxiety, newly acquired gi problems, newly acquired allergies, random pain from day to day, often extreme but always chronic even when not having a flare, chronic one-sided daily headaches, restless & painful sleep, I could go on and on...  but lab work and imaging studies always came back normal.
