I do not have diabetes or thyroid disorder. The last time I had blood tests was about 2 years ago.
The only medication I take is Xanax and a prescribed ointment for the psoriasis.
I take about 5 Xanax tablets (.5 mg) per week.

Brief Answer:
Nerve conduction studies.
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
In current situation,I would say that if this tingling of feet is persistent for some time now,then you should undergo 'Nerve conduction studies' to rule out neuropathy.
Further,please get your fasting blood sugar repeated.
For now,I would suggest you to start taking antineuralgic medicines(like pregabalin or gabapentin)along with methylcobalamin supplementation.
PLEASE TAKE MEDICINES UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDANCE ONLY.
Hope that I have answered your query.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
