I think this may be contributing to my problem. When my bladder issues hit I had to go on Lorazepam for 5 weeks (0.5mg/day) to let me sleep at night. Bladder issues have nearly gone away and I stopped cold turkey on the drug.At the same time I had a scary MRI report on my neck that exploded my anxiety.
At the exact same time my tingling and numbness jumped up 90% and was nearly constant.
So either the anxiety or the withdrawal of lorazepam has dramatically increased my symptoms.
I have had anxiety issues my whole life and it can be very powerful and cause severe paresthesia.
