Tingling and paresthesia on the multiple locations could be physical nerve injury like nerve entrapment, disease affecting the nerves, like neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes etc. Since these symptoms are present in multiple locations, this needs multiple sclerosis workups. Other conditions are diabetes, peripheral artery disease, peripheral neuropathy or head injury. Consult a neurologist for investigation of these symptoms.

Well, you have come to the Multiple Sclerosis forum which is not so much involved with peripheral neuropathy as it is central neuropathy. So I would recommend that you post this question over on the Neurology forum.
There are medications approved in the use of peripheral neuropathy. Lyrica was just approved for this use in diabetic neuropathy, but it is used in other forms, too. There are other meds used, but I am not an expert in them.
Good luck to you relieving your misery!

Hi,
Long term use and overdosage of Paxil does cause myopathy, dizziness and vertigo in some patients. I would suggest you to go for MRI of the brain and spine to rule out Multiple Sclerosis and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This will give a diagnosis whether your symptoms are due to medication overdose or neurological disease. The significant symptoms of these diseases are balance problems along with other neurological symptoms. Please consult a neurologist for the same. Hope this helps you.

Progressive weakness with legs being afflicted before arms and upper body can be due to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) or chronic relapsing polyneuropathy. The symptoms of CIDP are also seen in multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune neuropathy. Hence, these two conditions should be ruled out.
Other possibilities are diabetes, hypothyroidism, lupus, myasthenia gravis. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!

These include injury to the back or spinal cord, diabetes, stroke, multiple sclerosis and underactive thyroid. Abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body and a lack of vitamin B12 can also cause tingling sensations.
You can take multivitamins for some time. Also get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels tested.
In case the symptoms persist then pls consult a neurologist as it can be due to some neurological disorder.

The most common is a benign tumor called a schwanoma (also called acoustic neuroma). This is diagnosed by MRI of the brain. Multiple sclerosis can cause vertigo, but often, other symptoms are present as well. A normal MRI of the brain excludes multiple sclerosis. Thyroid problems can also lead to vertigo.
Your symptoms may be a variant of migraine. Basically this is marked by several hours of vertigo associated with nausea, light-sensitivity, and sometimes other symptoms.
