Icky sick feeling!!

This may sound strange to everyone here, but I have been sick for over a year.  All of my tests have come back normal.  I have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome.  This has been a year of hell.  So many horrible symptoms.  I developed severe anxiety disorder after being sick for about 6 months.  I thought I was losing my mind- it was horrible.  I also had a few panic attacks. I have been on meds for 6 months now and the mental part is much better.  My health is better as well- but I still get sore throats and I have this horrible sick feeling all through my body. My therapist said that some of her patients suffering with anxiety complain of this. Can anyone relate? It is just a really gross feeling all over.  I am wondering if it could be from anxiety or if I am still sick.

Hi Aquarius, I can relate to that.  I don't have chronic fatigue, but I do suffer from IBS which flares up when I get really anxious (and then I get more anxious and it get's worse - go figure!).  It makes me feel like blah and gives me insomnia, nausea and I have to stay at home with a hot water bottle.  I think anxiety and illness are inter-related, once you get into the anxiety mindset it makes you feel sicker.   I know it may be impossible for you, but I find light exercise helps, even just dancing around the stereo.  It sounds like you're having a rough year, hang in there and keep us posted.
