Hi Everyone

I am just curious to know if this is normal. I have been having burning/tingling sensation in my left foot and leg. Is it normal to have it only on one side? Sometimes I have it in both but the left is always worse. Of course it's driving me crazy and making me panic and fear I have a disease of some sort. I have had that sensation in my hands and feet before ..but the first time for me with the whole leg ...Anyone else have it in the legs and arms? This sounds silly but I also have been having a vibrating feeling in my feet ..it's really strange ..that's new to me and I am going on 8 yrs with Panic anxiety disorder ...Isn't it amazing what your mind can do !!! Anyone else? I sure hope I am not the only one who has had this. Thank you for letting get this all out... it sure does help

Hi! You are not alone. Off and on since last July I have had tingling, numbness, and twitching in my muscles all over my body. I have scared myself to death researching what it could be. I too have had anxiety for years. It helps me to know that others experience similar reactions. Anxiety apparently can cause all sorts of bodily sensations. Think of all the headaches and stomach aches caused by stress. WHATEVER you do do NOT look at the medical sites!!!! That's my opinion. It helps to talk about it. Good luck!

Hi, Marilyn! Sorry to hear about these sensations. From my own experience & those reported by others on our board, we seem to be more sensitive to these feelings. It's part of our chemical make-up. To put my mind @ rest, I would probably see the dr. I don't visit the dr. for every sensation, but he
