HI SC!! I have come back from time to time to read some of the posts but I felt that I didn't have much to offer. I suppose just the support we can give each other is huge. Rxclusion, we have gone...
If you are prone to anxiety, it seems to come from nowhere. One day you feel fine and then bam, it hits you. The more you try to force yourself to get over it the worse it gets. First you need to...
I truly believe in these forums. I think the most help you will ever get is from people who have lived it or are living it. I don't care if health related or problems with your children or fixing...
Controlling my anxiety was self taught. I think you have to come to peace with what is causing it and even then it takes time. I spent many hours in tears. I understand the doom. The feeling that it...
Just stopping by to say hi /community/emoticons/turn.gif I see so many new names and I hope everyone new knows that this is a great place to get answers, support and comfort. I have been doing really...
Cocsmoke, thanks for the reply :-) Did you have one or both hips replaced? What kind of pain did you have and after surgery was it entirely gone?...
I am 55 years old, work full time and have been told by a orthopedic surgeon that I will be needing both hips replaced. They will do the surgeries 3 months apart the first one will be scheduled after...
Yes I have been diagnosed with that a few years ago. For me, it was all nerves. Once you come to terms with that it gets better. Can be acid reflux too. My sister-in-law had the lump in the throat...
Hi Daniel, You need to tell your parents about the these lumps you are concerned about so they can take you into the doctor and ease your mind. They are probably nothing but in your mind they are a...
I know I don't post as often as maybe I should but I just thought I would try to be an encouragement to all who want to take the time to read. This site is amazing when you need someone to talk to,...
I am so sorry for your loss. We are all here for you but it takes time to heal. Grieve as you need to and lean on love ones, they want to be with you. Take care of yourself and get your rest....
Hi NG, I remember your age. That's a common age for anxiety to start. The hormones start to do strange things to your body. You start getting more responsible and with that comes stress/anxiety. The...
Hello to all of you on this forum, If you're new here, this is the greatest place to find comfort and wise advice. If you have been part of this family for a while, you know how valuable this forum...
YaCu, You have come to the right place to find people who truly do understand. I know, I have been where you are now and in time, I did get better. I never had the voices that you are speaking of,...
TG, Keep us all posted as to how you are doing. Also keep updates as you start this support group for others to follow in their communities. You have come along way, congratulations!!!...
Are you using either of these products and do you see any good effects that they have had. Did you look at the site for pro argi 9? On there, there are people saying through testing after or while on...
Why I was impressed with this is all the studies that has gone into this product. Do you think that you get the same benefits from just taking L-arginine? I know this company has conferences and a...
Yes, that is one of the main ingredients. It is also packed full of vitamins like D, which we all need to take. There is another company that makes this product that is cheaper than this one, the...
Hi, You said you choked eating chicken. I have done this same thing. I think it might have happened to me and you because chicken is a dry meat, especially the breast and now you are probably...
Hi 3D I know what it's like to fear heart related symptoms. My dad died from a heart attack when I was 27 and shortly after I started getting palpitations. I have lived in fear for several years and...
Husbands can be wonderful. I know when I was freaking out about going anywhere and I know I couldn't continue to live like that, my husband would just take me for rides. We would go just around a 10...
Pinks, if this is still occurring, you need to get into a doctor and have some tests ran. I know that tests and doctors can be frustrating but that's the best way to know that you're okay. A few...
Kitt and SC, you two are the best!!! Thanks for all your good advice and being here for me and everyone else....
Sometimes the tissues get inflamed. I don't know how long you have been in pain but you might also be getting spasms. Being pregnant you probably don't want to take any muscle relaxers. The...
I sent you an email this morning, check and see if you recieved it....
Yes, I think I would like the email idea /community/emoticons/smile.gif I will communicate with you there. I will not give up this site but I think we do have so many of the same emotions going on...
Yes I get the mouth sensation. I have had this for a couple years. I have read different sites and no one seems to know what causes it. There are no tests. Mine comes and goes but always comes back....
Kitt, I just saw this and I am so sorry as to what you're going through. Your plan to work out at the YMCA is a great one:) I need to get on an exercise program too. Maybe we should all encourage...
I think a few years ago I could have definitely become homebound if it weren't for my job and that made me get out of the house. I have a half hour drive to work and that is kind of therapy for me. I...
The big thumping ones are the worst. I haven't had any of those for a while either. Most of the time mine are the flutter ones that I can usually just ignore...I know they're happening but I can...
It makes me feel better knowing that you understand what I go through too. I know what you mean about getting tired of talking about how you feel. I usually don't talk about it. If I get a bad day...
I have noticed lately, since mine have calmed down from where they were a few months ago, that I get them after eating. They will begin and not last long. We both know if they leave, they will come...
Junebug, I know what you're saying about living fine without them and then they start again. Mine come at a time of stress and then adds to the stress. It seems like when my stress level starts to go...
Hi Junebug, When it comes to getting freaked out with irregular heartbeats I know exactly what you're talking about. I have had those for over 24 years and I still go crazy when they start. I have...
I have a few movies that I really enjoy, I will turn one of those on. If it's summer, I go outside and get involved in a project or I play solitare. If I play cards with someone it doesn't help, for...
What a great idea..I have often wondered the same thing. But you know 3D, you didn't really post much about yourself. /community/emoticons/nono.gif My story in a nutshell is; I am married, I have 4...
Welcome home!! You are so right that we understand how huge a vacation like this is. The stress of going and what a relief once you're back home again. The memories are great, like the lobsters, and...
If you are feeling extremely nervous over the birthday party I would say that your nerves can definitely do this to. I also believe that it is good to face your fears head on. Once at the party relax...
Lump in the throat could also be gastric. My sister in law had this and once on stomach medication the sensation went away. I have also had the lump in the throat, mine comes from stress and anxiety....
Hazel, I know what it's like to walk away from a doctor's visit feeling like you have gotten no answers to your questions or problems. If you have had the holter study and other tests to show there's...
I bet the lobsters were good even though they lost the battle. Are you doing some sight seeing also? How is the weather? I heard a storm either is out there or coming....
Hi SC I hope you have an enjoyable vacation. Take it one day at a time and you will have a great time. You helped talk me through my recent vacation and just knowing someone out there understands how...
Melaina, If your doctor doesn't want to do a CT scan how about an MRI? I know what you're going through. I had pain that was on the surface of my skin and it would go down deep into the tissues of my...
I think the way you do, about every ache and pain has to be a new disease. When I was at my lowest a couple years ago, I was going to a doctor on average 3 times a week. I am talking specialists. I...
Debaser, The fear of having an attack like this during driving through a congested area, in my opinion, is rare because your other body defenses will kick in for the survival instinct. You feel it...
Hazelnut, I feel so sorry for all of the people living in the southern states this year with all the snow and cold you are getting. I live in Minnesota but up here we expect winter and are prepared...
It sounds like you love your mother very much and she loves you. The small things are always the important things so by holding her hand and talking to her are the moments you will cherish in the...
So sorry to hear about your mom. It's hard to see a loved one suffer. In years to come you will be so glad you have spent this time with her. Relish every moment you have together. Your dad and...
Palpitations will come from anxiety. If you have been checked out by a doctor and they find nothing wrong that is probably what it is you're experiencing. I have had them for years, had all the tests...
Hi everyone, I have stuck close to this forum for the past few months. My anxiety is under control most of the time, I still struggle during each day for short periods of time. I just live day to day...
