Had Tingling In Feet And All Over Body. Prescribed Neurotin. MRI And CAT Scans Normal. Could Stress Be The Cause?

This is symptom is extremely common amongst people who cross 50 years of age. The reasons are many. Commoner and to check are few for your profile.
1) Diabetes
2) Vit B (esp B12) and Vit E deficiency
3) Degenerative spine disease and disc bulge
I am sure Diabetes would be ruled out. Did your doctor check the Vitamin deficiency and spine disease with MRI.
Mind reads the body every minute. If you are stressed out, it can mimic any physical disease. Go back and check if the symptoms appear when you are stressed out and only when you deal with a number of issues than usual. If yes, the reason could be stress. Then you should try 'stress relaxing techniques'.
Try to add Vit B12 and Vit E supplements to your diet. Neurontin helps to reduce the symptoms and it has proved it. But you needs an advice which tackles the cause and not the symptom.
