Default Neuropathy or something else?

Hello everyone, I'm Ian, I'm 29 years old and have recently had some heath issues! I've recently had some symptoms starting rather suddenly starting in early September 2011 which have sort of progressively gotten worse and more consistent over the last year and a half, have visited a few doctors and a neurologist and still haven't really come across anyone else with the same symptoms I have been having.

Originally the symptoms started off one night with random tingling/sometimes rarely stinging sensations randomly throughout my body. They would come and go and at first were generally a light tingling that would last a second or two, then perhaps migrate to another area of the body (feet, toes, fingers, hands, neck, face, ears, nose - virtually anywhere). Fast forward more than a year and now the sensations have not stopped, in fact they have gotten worse and are generally more aggressive. Often I'll feel burning sensations or sometimes have a light tremor in my hands or sort of feel my body shaking from within, its a very strange sensation. I also very often feel sort of a buzzing or tingling in my thigh down to my lower legs and feet which comes and goes as well. Sometimes I will feel sort of an electrical scratchiness on my face around my cheeks, or sometimes a very dull annoying pain that sort of fades in an out across random parts of my stomach and trunk. I've also been having random muscle twitches or fasciculations across random parts of my body. For example one moment a small area around my inner thigh will twitch a few times. Then 20-40 seconds later, another area, say my forearm will do this.

All of the symptoms I've been having have been positive over-stimulation of my nervous system. I haven't had any muscle weakness or loss of sensation or anything - its quite the opposite!

I'm not sure if this was even neuropathy as I haven't been diagnosed with anything and had an MRI about a year ago to check for MS which came back negative, as well as several blood tests. I've tried changes in diet, supplements and exercise and nothing has really curbed these symptoms unfortunately. I was prescribed gabapentin before which didn't seem to do anything for the sensations and pain. Another interesting thing is that when I am asleep or falling asleep these sensations do not bother me - they do not wake me up at night unlike something like RLS.

As these symptoms have been getting worse I wanted to write in the hopes that maybe someone out there might know what this could be or perhaps have some insight. Right now I don't have any health care and it's troubling me that these issues are starting to get worse and interfere with my life more and more.

If anyone has any questions or any insight about these symptoms please let me know! Thanks in advance for any comments!
