Just to add that when my anxiety started one of the very first symptoms I had was the weird internal buzzing/vibrating sensations in my legs...these could even be felt in my genital area at times so it wasn't all bad. . It was the strangest thing and the only way I could ever get close to explaining it was like the feeling of high pressure water going through a hose. This lasted on and off for at least 18 months and then the twitching started. During this period I also often had the sensation of one moment feeling like I was sitting in a wet patch with my skin feeling cold and damp and then it feeling almost sun or wind burnt...it would occasionally be red but more often than not the skin would look normal but feel like it was burnt. Don't get me started on the sensation of feeling like I was wearing socks even though I wasn't and the fact that I'd wake up most nights with dead hands and pins and needles...that used to drive me potty.

All theses neuro sensations and skin parathesia things really are incredibly common with physical anxiety...it is hard not to lose your mind with it all but of course the more you react to a symptom/sensation then the more it keeps on giving, when you factor in the hyper vigilance we have to the symptoms and the somatic amplification that we bring to them it really is the perfect storm for health anxiety to take a grip.
