Brief Answer:
Can be neuropathy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

This feeling of tingling in both lower legs and and arms doesn't seem much related to allergies since you don't have any rash or redness and itching.
I was thinking about a peripheral neuropathy possibly due to diabetes or elevated glucose levels.
I don't know if you are suffering from diabetes or not.
Also low vitamin B12 levels can cause it.
Also tell me if you are taking any medications or if you use alcohol frequently.
You can upload the test results for me to see them.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Test results are all normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I see the test results you uploaded and all are within normal range.
None of them can lead to the cause of the tingling sensation you are having.
I think you may need to check the Vitamin B12 levels and Vitamin D levels.
