Amazing poem! I loved it....
I don't know what GERD feels like, but I do have experience with Costo. When I had it, I had it for about a month and a half before I figured out what it was and let it get way out of hand. My pain...
I went through what you did with seeing the nurse most everyday, feeling like I was seconds away from passing out or throwing up. I couldn't sit still, focus, or deal with anything in a classroom due...
I get that head pain, and usually it goes away after taking some over the counter migraine medicine. For whatever reason, it's the only type of over the counter pain reliever that works for my...
I recently started seeing a therapist trained in CBT and other things. I've told her all about my anxiety and that I chose her specifically for her CBT. However, it seems all we talk about is WHY I'm...
Also, the whole heart palps and sleeping thing. TOTALLY GET THAT TOO! They're freaky! It's like you're gasping for air and your heart is pounding. Extremely scary. I think those fall under the same...
I would say to leave out the anxiety and depression part and see what the doctor says. Doctors seem to write everything off as anxiety when you tell them you have it! It's ridiculous. I know anxiety...
I'm avoiding sugary foods and starchy foods while I wait for this to die down. I saw a doctor that prescribed me nystatin for 14 days and I'm going to try probiotic yogurt today! I'll also google...
Also, I would like to say that if you have yet to go to a doctor, that you absolutely should. They can verify that it's costochondritis by pushing on different areas of the chest. They do this...
I debated on where to post this but settled on allergies to see if anyone else with a life threatening allergy could relate to me. However, I have recently found out that the 'reactions' that I'm...
I had the WORSE case of costochondritis last year! It kept me in bed for four weeks only leaving to use the bathroom and shower VERY quickly. It was absolutely horrible. The pain was unbearable and...
I'm going to see an allergist on the fifth. I've barely eaten since the first attack. Maybe a couple bites of something a day since friday. Everything I eat sends me into a panic attack (or maybe it...
The pain you feel could be costochondritis. It can easily be brought on by anxiety or stress and the pain is like no other! It can't kill you, but it sure feels like it is. I think you should look up...
I don't think that's it. I don't eat meat usually. The first time I ate it in months was the nuggets....
Thank you! I have successfully eaten a tiny bit of potato while on 25 mg on Benadryl. So I'm hopeful.(:...
Just got back from the doctor, she referred me to an allergist but I'm not sure how long it will be until I get in. She also gave me some hydroxyzine for anxiety and allergies. She has me continuing...
Thank you so much for your suggestions! Bananas are actually something im highly allergic to. Same with a lot of fruit. But rice sounds reasonably safe.......
Ahh, I never saw that anyone posted on this thread! I'm sorry. I have decided to not take the cymbalta with the amount of side effect that happened. I will ask my doctor for something else....
I'm going to the doctor around four today. I'll see what she says and post back here after I have the details. Thanks for all the support!...
Okay, I will try a potato maybe...I'm just having a really hard time eating or drinking anything at all... But I suppose it's logical that the apple hurt my mouth because it's acidic. It did just...
The first two things that set me off majorly had a couple things in common. But things you'd never would think could make you go into that bad of an allergy attack. Like cheese, or tortilla. And then...
I just don't know. It's not just one food doing it all of a sudden. It's every food I've tried eating since that monday. It's like my body is rejecting everything I put in it. I made an appointment...
The E.R. doctor said chances are we will never find out what I'm allergic to and to tough it out. He also said it would be a year before I could see an allergist and to not even try. He gave me...
Hi, I already have pretty bad anxiety, but last Monday made it ten fold. I've always known I was allergic to a hand full of things, but things that are really easily avoided. On Monday however, I was...
I really want to try and tough it out in hopes that it will get better, but I don't want to be completely miserable for weeks thinking it will get better if it won't! Ahh, I wish I knew if someone...
You are not alone, at all. Anxiety is extremely good at disguising itself as a physical problem. Often when I'm having a panic attack: I have severe chest pain, my heart beats out of control, I start...
I have recently been prescribed Cymbalta (30mg for a week and then up to 60mg) for my anxiety disorder. I took it for the first time two nights ago after I ate around 9pm and felt a bit off until I...
My doctor is having me try kava kava and valerian root. I just made a thread on it. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to try it or not. As for not relying on medication, I really don't know any other...
I have really bad anxiety and my doctor has told me to take kava kava and valerian root to help with it. I started looking up kava kava and I'm immediately freaked out. I've seen people say that it...
Thanks!...
Thank you so much. It's really not my ideal life to spend it taking drugs. I really just want to be one of those normal people out there that don't experience anxiety. I think maybe if I can take...
In my opinion, carrying full term is less scary than having an abortion. With labor they can drug you to the heavens and you'll have a lot less guilt later on in life. If you really don't want the...
My mom is totally against me taking any medication, so I doubt she'll be any help with that...But maybe I can convince the doctor on my own. Or maybe I'll be lucky enough to find a doctor that can...
Bellingham, WA. I'm also sure there are tons of resources here. I just recently got here a week ago....
Thanks guys! I'll try my best in finding a doctor that will actually give me something for anxiety, it's just hard because I'm under the age of 18 and no doctor truly seems to understand the severity...
Thank you everyone for replying so soon. I have in the past been able to leave my house, I was just extremely uncomfortable. It's just lately that the passing out effect has kicked in. Before passing...
I definitely feel the way you do. I can't do anything physical without panicking about it. I know deep down that nothing is wrong with having an increased heart rate and a bit of breathlessness, but...
I really need help with how to live a normal life. I'm only seventeen, but I'm already experiencing extreme anxiety that keeps me from having any friends, leaving the house, or being alone. 'Anxiety'...
