Hi all. I’ve had anxiety for most of my life and was on medications years ago (antidepressants, Xanax..etc). I haven’t been on anything in years, but I have trouble sleeping and still experience anxiety often. I take benedryl to sleep often.

About 2 weeks ago I started feeling sensations around my body like tingling and bugs crawling in bed. I never had this before in my life, but was thinking maybe it’s a new way anxiety is manifesting in my body. I looked and saw no physical bites or rashes and washed all my bedding. I saw nothing. I then went to a neurologist who just said to get a blood test and a brain mri. The blood test came back negative (looked for vitamin deficiencies, Lyme disease etc.) I haven’t gotten the brain mri yet. 

Every night these sensations are irritating me and disrupting my sleep. It’s driving me nuts. Has anyone else ever experienced this and if so how did you cope with it?
