I'm posting not to seek medical advice but to vent my frustration. About 3 weeks ago I got very stressed about some medical results and ever since then I had trouble sleeping and started to experience pins and needles along with muscle twitches randomly all over my body. My doc did a full blood test which came back fine and at this point can't do anything for me except refer me to a neurologist. However the earliest I can get to see one is in two weeks.
I am making an effort to eat healthy, work out and meditate. I'm trying to understand what is going on with my body or mind or whatever the hell is causing this. Physically I feel great but this pins and needles is getting more intense and I'm tired (mentally).
GP's generally do not have the experience to diagnose or treat anything that may be neurological. At the start of my peripheral neuropathy I was also sent to a neurologist. It did take 3 weeks before I could get in to see her. But was I was in she did everything she could to diagnose and treat me. Hang in there.

You said you want no advice so won't give any...sent you a note. I deal with pins/needles but I know what they are from. I do a lot of my own health research and healing.
I'm on another group and SO MANY pins/needles nerve issues and they run to doctors all the time...and many finally do their own research and work on their own issues and post their results all the time. I see both...Personally, I don't run to doctors.

Yes 2-3 weeks is common to see a neurologist, who is the proper MD to evaluate your symptoms, OP.
CD posters cannot diagnose your medical problems...
Some sort of neuropathy, did the doctor check your blood-sugar?
I assume you are going to get an EMG/NCV study, this may shed light onto what ails you!
My primary care physician did a full blood test and pretty much everything looked good. To note this all started a day after I was very stressed about an event. I think I may have had a small panic attack around that time. I'm really hoping it's just stress and anxieties.

If you think that's what it is Stress and Anxiety...then there are many things that can help with those issues...

I can empathize with you. My peripheral neuropathy is idiopathic, or was at the time. I had every test under the sun for toxins and whatever else that could be the cause. I was in a complete state of panic. My neurologist sent me to have two different MRI's. I now have it for the most part under control. I can tell you that you should stay away from the computer looking for diagnoses. It will scare the crap our of you!
Stress wreaks havoc on the body. Maybe while waiting for your neurologist appointment you do some yoga or try meditating.
