Hi, I am a 56 year old woman in excellent health. It seems nearly all my adult life I've gotten tingling sensations throughout my body at times. I could tie it to taking too much aspirin, drinking wine or whatever. These sensations are also accompanied by tinnitis. I have no loss of balance or memory or anything like that. The past few months the sensations are getting more constant until now they are 24/7, along with the tinnitis. I am on no meds and take only vitamins.
I went to a doctor who seemed to think it was the claritin I was taking at the time. I stopped taking it but it didn't do anything. He ordered a general blood test but said it was fine and I haven't been back to him.
I always thought these sensations were probably something everyone had until I began reading that they could be symptoms of MS or the like, which scared me. However, reading about MS, I don't have any of the other symtoms people talk about.
Any idea what this could be or where I should go from here? Can a blood test taken for health screening show anything significant here?
Thanks
