Dear Anxiety Prone and Neck Tingler,

I am new on this site so I am just going to put a note here.

One thing to think about: psychiatrists and neurologists do not know the cause of one disease they treat. Discouraging, but that is quite true. So, you have a psychological problem and a neurological problem, but it you think about it both "what is in your brain" and in your "peripheral nerves" are both made of nerve tissue. If "something" was systemically bothering your nerve tissue it may cause tingling/numbness/pain in the nerves of your "outside" body and mental functioning abnormalities from inside your skull: where your brain is located.

Questions: have you had any sense of numbness of the hands or tingling of them, including the fingers. Have you developed a "numb arm" after sleeping on your shoulder at night? Do you get numbness or tingling in the hands/fingers when driving? Have you had low-back pain or sciatica? Do you have red palms? Red bottoms of the feet? *edit*

There are a billion blood tests so if you had a few and they came back normal that might not mean much.

Have you had a respiratory infection, ear infection, tonsillitis, periodontal infection, lately. Sore throat lately, like within a number of months.

What kinds of problems do your immediate family members have *edit*?

Where did you grow-up?

What other kinds of medical problems have you had, acne, skin problems, whatever?

O.K., the ball is in your court.

Yours,
