A couple days ago I started experience little skin crawlies on the top of my head and toes and arms all over just randomly... I feel my ears a little full, I have clicking on my jaw and pressure in my sinuses/eyes I got a little electric shock down my arm when I would stretch it out while doing my makeup.. I feel a lump in my throats and my chest heavy as if it's hard to swallow and breath.. I feel like my eyes are dragging and hard to focus sometimes although I'm not having trouble typing this. I'm freaking out that the skin crawlies are from MS or a brain tumor. My mom and fiancé think it's just anxiety since I suffer greatly from it and it started when we started planning our wedding. But I'm trying not to feel stressed about it but I can't help but to obsess over it. I feel like I'm constantly in panic attack mode but like why haven't the weird buzzing feelings subsided? It's been 4-5 days with it and I just want it to go away. I've never had this feeling before I've had random little flutters but never for a couple days!

I experience the same thing sometimes. Anxiety attacks can last from minutes to days on end. I feel for you cuz I am there! I feel completely insane for feeling the way I do, but I went a solid 2 years with no anxiety attack and all of a sudden just a few months back they returned with a vengeance!!! Do you smoke? Drink lots of caffeine? Excessive alcohol intake? I know they all can increase anxiety and make it hard to relieve symptoms. I have cut WAY back on my caffeine intake to 1-2 cups coffee in the morning and MAYBE......MAYBE 1 soda at some point later in the day. Hang in there....things will get better at some point. Stay strong and keep on
I drink once a week and coffee lately has been triggering the anxiety I've noticed! When I'm busy I don't notice the tingles really but when I'm not doing anything I try not to think about it but in reality I hone in on every feeling I'm like incredibly hyper sensitive to my body at the moment but I can't shake the feeling that the little skin crawl tingle feeling all over my body in random spots is because of MS! I've also been noticing I have been getting panic attacks a lot more often.. or they have just been nonstop I wish these things would just stop for us
I 100% agree....anxiety is (pardon my language) a BITCH!! I have suffered 12 years, thought I had it under control...had 2 years where I didn't have any symptoms with no medication....but it all came flooding back after moving 10 hours away from what I know as home and family. I would give anything to go back and make a different decision but I am trying so hard to just push those thoughts out of my head. I have recently once again tried meds, doc put me on Gabapentin and it worked then seemed to stop helping. Tried Seroquell and that helped get me to sleep for a few days, but day 3 rolled in and felt my heart pounding out of my chest. Told my doc and he changed me to Latuda but that also is an anti-psychotic drug and I'm afraid to try it. I don't see how that type of med helps an anxious mind. All we sufferers can do is help each other it seems at times
