Okay, we'll I've had the tingling throughout my body for a while now, so that's nothing new.
What is new is it has gotten much worse in my legs this week and my right leg gets that feeling of numbness, like when you sit on your leg or foot wrong and it "falls asleep".
It's much worse when I'm sitting, but even walking is proving difficult. My commute yesterday and today was a struggle, to say the least. I had to use cruise control the entire time, but even then the feeling was unbearable.
Anything I can do to help it out? I figure it's a fairly common symptom.
Thanks.

This is called neuropathy & could be the result of inflammation at or near nerve tissue. I have LOTS of experience with this symptom which has completely resolved in some areas of my body using the Marshall Protocol.

What's odd, though, is that back in July before I saw the LLMD I had seen a neuro and he did an EMG. The results showed no damage to the nerves.
What is the Marshall Protocol?

My daughter has had this problem for 3 1/2 years.
To the point that she is not able to walk normal - she walks like she is drunk. Kind of poses a huge problem at school.
She fell down the stairs and trips over almost everything.
Warm epson salt/baking soda baths have seemed to help a little. I will look into this MP to see if it is something that might work for her.

This can also sometimes happen, just by the way you are sitting. Any pressure on the back of your legs (hamstrings) for a period of time can cause this. That is why it happens alot when you are sitting. Try to not have your legs dangling from a chair(make sure they can touch the ground). You may have to scoot up to the edge of the seat if you are short like me. Not as comfortable as leaning into the seatback, though!

I've had all sorts of neuropathy resolve on MP already, including something very similar to what you seem to be going thru. My neuropathy stems from both injury (incomplete quadriplegia) & infection (Lyme borreliosis).

Mine seems to coincide with exposure to electromagnetic fields. Here's some info on what EMFs can do to the nervous system:
