Low B12?: Of all vitamin deficiencies, B12 is the one noted to give the "stocking/glove" neuropathy - which you are describing as tingling sensations in your hands and feet. Additionally, low B12 can contribute to symptoms of crushing fatigue, as well as low testosterone (in both sexes). This could cause your symptoms. I'd suggest not only a B12 level, but a methylmalonic acid and testosterone levels.

Depression: Your symptoms are not classical presentation of multiple sclerosis, yet they warrant medical attention to find the cause and establish treatment. Depression can cause your lack of stamina and decreased libido. Vitamin deficiencies may also cause hand numbness. Check with your physician for proper testing. I hope you feel better soon.

Doubtful: Your depression could fully explain most of your symptoms, but the tingling could be due to hyperventilation, medication side effects, or even a peripheral neuropathy of any cause. You do not describe any issues consistent with MS
