I agree w/ St. George...hang in there, and don't give up on trying to find answers.

I'm 27 years old and I've spent the last 3 to 4 years experiencing a slow progression of symptoms like (if not exactly the same as) those you're describing and yet only to get responses from my doctors and a few specialists like you have. The hardest part for me has been that thought too: 'I'm young and should be in my prime, not sick.' And it's definitely frustrating when you know your body is telling you something is really wrong and yet doctors keep coming back saying its anxiety or stress, etc.

I gave up about a year or so trying to persuade doctors that something more serious was going on with me than just 'stress'/anxiety, etc, after tons of blood tests and MRI's, etc all showed up clean. It wasn't until just a few months ago that I finally tried again, and lo and behold, now they've discovered stuff in my brain and I'm just now, after 3 to 4 years, starting to get some answers and assurances that it's not just stress and anxiety but something more serious that's causing the numbness and tingling, the headaches, etc.

That said, just hang in there and keep fighting, and don't give up on trying to get answers. Be open to what the doctors say. Whether or not there is something causing your symptoms of stress/anxiety, it's clear that the doctors have at least recognized that you do have anxiety/stress. ANYONE suffering or experiencing unnerving symptoms like what you've described would have stress and anxiety. In the past, I found myself best off when I fought for myself mentally, in spite of having no answers form the doctors. I'd remind/tell myself that 'yes...im anxious and stressed...but just because the doctors can't find a real 'cause', doesn't mean that there isnt a 'real' cause.

Again, hang in there!
