Tingling, numb sense of touch

Hi, I have this problem and I'm not sure if it is anxiety related. I have strange bouts of tingling/numbness accompanied with a strange problem feeling texture. It only bothers me really when I move or touch anything, including walking. Sometimes it is worse and sometimes it's not bad. It is mostly in my hands/arms/feet/face. When it's really strong I can describe it as waves of tingling. It can get quite painful/bothersome. This usually happens when I'm stressed. The first couple times it happened after smoking weed. I don't do that anymore but I still get this feeling. It used to only last a few hours but the last couple of incidents lasted for days. I just don't see how effects from an anxiety attack could last for days. One doctor I saw said it was anxiety and the other had nothing to say. Does anyone have any ideas?

ME TOO. I have an itch and I cant feel the relief of the scratch...It started happening after I was put on depression meds about a year ago, and I got off those asap. But it still comes in waves. The last year it probably happened 10 times sporatically...but for the last week I havent been able to feel much...and it gets worse when I smoke, so I'm done with that.

sorry i have no answer. just empathy
i have had this for 4 days from smoking a very small amount of weed.
havnt smoked for more than 3 years.
i have a fuzzy, sandy sensation in my hands.
trying to unscrew lids or put my hands through sleeves is pretty peculiar.
it helps if i can see my hands.
so yeah. same as most of you guys. -- i am pretty healthy and dont drink or smoke so i am just gonna try and stay chill about the whole thing until it goes.

when i have had it before, years ago i would just wait for it to go, like some other things, you only realise its gone a little while after it actually has..

be calm. be mindful. try and limit any anxiety that it causes as that is just bad anyway. if you can still function that focus on that.

i hope everyone feels better.

peace.
