Numbness in toes and left hand

[JustMe]

Whenever I wake up my toes feel weird (mostly on my left side) like they are about to fall asleep and usually my pinky and ring finger and thumb on my left are are numb until I move them around.
I'm sure it's MS and I'm freaking out! I was having major twitching and nerve pain but that went away shortly after the cat scan that the hospial gave me that came back clear. Finally went to a regular Dr last week and she doesnt take me seriously. (She's actually only a nurse I found out) She said nothing is wrong with me. She ordered a diabetes test so now I'm affraid I have that and I'm going to go blind or have to amputate my feet. I thought I had high blood pressure last night because i felt this like pressure in my hands and feet so went to urgent care and it was 112/80 so it was fine.
Do you think I need to go to the hospital? This can't be normal! It must be some type of neurological disease I'm sure of it. I need them to catch it before it's too late! Can anyone help? I'm so scared!
Thirs can't really be all just anxiety can it? I feel like I'm going crazy!!!

Whenever I wake up I have a weird feeling in my left big toe too! And I go numb in my sleep all the time. I spoke to my dr about it (also fearing Ms) and she said I was absolutely fine. Tension in our body is what makes us go numb! we hold so much tension in our body when we are anxious! numbness is a major symptom of anxiety! I’m pretty sure it was ms it wouldn’t come and go! I know it’s hard to accept all these feelings can be anxiety but they really can! You do not need to go to the hospital. Once your anxiety calms down your symptoms will go! You’ve had a scan your absolutely fine. I can really empathise i feel like I’m going crazy too with this fear. I’ve had so many weird symptoms.
But we will get through it! For one week dont let the thoughts enter your head - every time they do think ‘I don’t have ms I have health anxiety’ and after the week I promise you will feel less anxious!

Thank you! It is so hard to shake this feeling of impending doom and thoughts of ms! I will try so hard to make myself believe this is all health anxiety!

Relax : it’s the tension that HA is creating in your body . The doctor said u r good. If you have diabetes, it’s a manageable disease. I normally pick diseases that are terminal when I go down the HA rabbit hole . You’re gonna be fine

I have this too and I think it’s just tension. I’ve been feeling extra tingly all over and it’s driving me nuts.. but I’m trying to remind myself I have been through this before. Many times. It will pass.
My left hand has been getting pins and needles, my left foot feels hot.. I’ve been twitching, my face gets tingly.. it’s all a mess, but I have to remind myself of all the tests I’ve had in the last 10 years.. I’m going to be ok. So are you!

Thank you! And believe me diabetes isn't the only thing I'm worried about with these symptoms. How about MS, some type of degenerative nerve disease, brain tumor or brain cancer, diabetes (you know like im about to fall into some type of diabetic acoma)
I swear my mind is retarded!
Tension can really do all these things?! Can it kill you too or does it just make you feel like you're dying?

This is great for me to know someone else has this too! Yes my face also does it and I've been having muscle twitching everywhere! This really makes me feel less worried to some degree! Thank you for sharing!

You don’t have any of the above . You have Health Anxiety. Most of the things you listed are very treatable . Come on - do like I do and only pick fatal diseases LOL. I hope better days lie ahead .

Tension can do all those things & tension can’t kill you. Ha makes us hyper aware of everything!

After I wake up, I have a few minutes of peace, and after that I get a weird feeling of pressure/numbness in my soles, which later turns into weird vibrations and pins and needles in both of my feet. It disappears when I take Xanax or when I'm distracted (which doesn't happen often because I'm obsessed with checking my symptoms constantly). But! I used to have pins and needles in both of my legs when sitting and lying down, I started anxiety medication, and now it's only in my feet. I'm going to increase my dose tomorrow. I was also sure I had MS (sometimes I still am) or other neurological diseases, but until now all of the facts point to anxiety. So yes, it's possible for anxiety to cause such crazy symptoms

Definitely tension! I’m dealing with that right now as well. I have found dry needling to really help relieve the tension, my first session the physical therapist said my muscles were so tense her needles were bending when she was trying to get them in my muscles. I have now had 4 sessions and feel better!

Never heard of that before! I will look into that for sure. I've been doing hand excercises that someone else talked about and I have seen some improvement already!
