If you would have presented to me as an outpatient,I would have told you that - commonest causes of the symptoms you are having are-

Vitamins deficiencies
Alcoholism

Your MRI spine and nerve studies being normal rules out spine and large nerves abnormality.

Please get the following investigations and follow up with reports-
Blood sugar fasting,vitamin B12 and Thyroid function tests.

Meanwhile,please start taking methylcobalamin supplements.PLEASE TAKE ALL MEDICINES UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDANCE.

Brief Answer:
Anxiety is the likely cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being in follow-up.

I have gone through your detailed medical reports.Thyroid function tests,vitamin B12,Blood sugar and Nerve conduction studies are all normal.MRI spine has already been done and is normal(as you mentioned).So,there does not appear to be any apparent cause for your symptoms.Chronic alcohol intake,however,can be a cause, if it fits in your case.
Besides,Anxiety or psychosomatic is the likely cause of the symptoms.Please start doing mental relaxation exercises/meditation/yoga regularly and your symptoms will probably improve.

However,visiting and getting physically examined by a neurologist will be helpful,of course.There are some of the excellent neurologists at XXXXXXX You can refer to the likes of Dr.T XXXXXXX or Dr.J.Manickavasagam.

Hope that I have answered your query.If you have some follow up questions,I shall be glad to answer else please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me.

Regards and Thanks

Thank you sir. And one more doubt. That I have burning skin heavily when I am in cooling place or under air conditioner. And I find some tingling in my body where the skin tone changes in some part of my body. Do you think it will be a skin disease.
