Hi, John. First I want to thank you for being so diligent and responsive on the forum. You are great.
Mine did not start out with my feet. It started with left side of my face tingling and my left arm and hand. Then it traveled to my feet and my right arm and hand within a month. I have tingling and "stabbing needles" sensation. My tongue started tingling as well. I also have internal "buzzing" sensation especially at night. Went through extensive testing to rule out MS, multiple myeloma, etc.
Right now, my symptoms are not that bad. I am on 300mg gabapentin once per day. I am trying to minimize drugs as much as possible. I've been getting acupuncture which seems to help especially my face. I am worried about how fast this can progress or if there is a possibility it can go away on its own.

@sf2021 I'm pretty sure I would have the same concerns as you do if I had the same symptoms. You mentioned that you've had extensive tests to rule out a few conditions like MS and multiple myeloma. I read in your other post that you have lately felt pressure on the right cheekbone near the ear. Have you discussed the new symptoms with your doctor? Just wondering if it may be providing more information to help with a diagnosis.
