Symptoms....Are These Normal For You?

My muscles tingle quite often. I have fatigue but manage to get everything done and work part time. Sometimes my fingers or toes ache. Sometimes my muscles ache all over. I continue to have dizziness or that "off feeling" every so often. I get headaches but I wouldn't call them severe. One symptom that scares me quite a bit is the shakiness. My muscles just shake with exertion. They feel trembly all the time but it doesn't seem to be noticeable. This all started three years ago and while I can say nothing is worse, I have to admit that it's not a whole lot better. I am learning coping mechanisms but I continue to have the health anxiety. I still fear a muscle disease....just looking for some reassurance. I have pretty much had all the big tests and seen all the important docs! I think I just get discouraged sometimes just as all of you. Anyway, thanks for listening! I also continue to have muscle twitches....

I have many of the same symptoms as you mentioned and thankfully they do not happen all at once and all the time.

I have a hand tremor and I will have arm and leg twitches which I always hope nobody notices.  My voice will get a bit shaky and if my anxiety is up I feel like I am rushing to keep up with everything.  That is when I will stop in my tracks and stop multitasking realizing I am not getting anything accomplished ~ just spinning my wheels.

I worry about silly stuff; are we going to get to an appointment on time, will I remember to take out meat from the freezer for dinner tomorrow and just plain wasting  my "thinking cells".

What helps me is to remember that other people have anxiety too and go through similar thoughts the same is me.  All I really have to take care of is me, to calm down and so I take some Big Breaths, talk to myself in a positive way and move a little bit slower.

I also make lists and check them before I leave home to make sure I have my schedule correct and than I feel a lot more calm.

Big breath and keep doing what helps you the most to control your anxiety.

Kindly,
