i am posting this for all of you have responded. thanks so much. the EMG test was normal and at this point i am not going for an MRI. i forgot to mention that this actually started when my lithium levels were high after 26 years with no problems. my kidneys were starting to be affected and i had to go out off from one day to the next. as we know this can cause problems. i will be staring a new bipolar medication tm. Happy Mother's
Day. Sarah

I too am interested to hear from you regarding what your MD tells you.
Nursegirl and blucrystal are correct that stress can cause us many many physical symptoms and your Doctor is always the best resource to start with...

Good luck to you

will keep you informed. going to dr. tm. can not believe that stress can cause tingling through the body. besides my kids i had medical issues that were resolved for about 2 months before the incident with my kids.

The important thing is that you're doing the right thing by going to see a doctor about this.  It absolutely COULD be anxiety, as what you describe is a fairly common anxiety symptom, but because this is new for you, it's always important to rule out a medical cause first.  

Once that happens, you can start exploring the idea that this could be anxiety.  Because this is very recent, you may be able to overcome this with some stress management.  This won't necessarily be something that sticks with you.  Anxiety would be normal in this situation, where you had a stressful event (the fight with your kids).  Anxiety is a very normal human reaction to stressful situations.

Hang in there, and let us know what the doctor says, ok?

There is no way to tell at this point if it will go away or not.  Your doctor will help you, and stay as calm as you can until you see him.  Chamomile tea is wonderful for calming.  Blkessings - Blu
