Hi all, I am facing a rather larger obstacle that keeps making me doubt my recovery. It's to do with a sense of impending death (not immediate but in the near future), and I struggle with the idea...
Sorry you are feeling so terrible today! One of the things I find is that my combination of symptoms changes over time. What I'm also finding is that if I have a particularly bad day, the next day is...
Hi samsgirl! I can very much relate to what you are saying. I have fibro as well and have had it for most of my life. Since anxiety became a real issue for me I have been so focused on every little...
GMoon - it truly is awful. I hope your interview went okay! S.C. Thanks for your thoughtful message. Already I'm so encouraged by being a part of this forum; and learning lots from all of your posts...
Yep, I get this quite a lot. I used to stress about it a lot more, but now I realise that it's a symptom of my anxiety/depression or my fibromyalgia (often known as fibro fog). It used to freak me...
Hi Tina, Sometimes when my anxiety has been at its worst, I have had problems swallowing for extended periods. I get the food in my mouth, chew and then when it comes to swallowing, it's like I can't...
Sounds awful! I had a really bad dose about a year ago - first one in ages. I took an oral tablet as well as a cream. I agree with the other ladies also - taking a probiotic which can come either as...
*LOL* Thanks for making me smile on a day I really needed it! This is hilarious!...
Nice to meet you! I am new here too. I am so sorry for everything you are going through; it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I can relate in some ways to what you are going through, but...
Hi WC, I have been having left arm pain and left hand tingling on and off for two months, and intermittently before that. I have spoken to my GP about it and he is confident it is related to my...
Thanks for the responses - they have really helped over the past 24 hours. In answer to your questions Scaredy Cat, my 2-day-old son died in 2011 which we were expecting, but was simply the hardest...
I had my first attack at 31, although looking back I think I've suffered low level anxiety my whole life. I've had some big life traumas which were the trigger....
Sorry you are going through this. Having your specialist appointment will help to put your mind at ease, but not a pleasant wait in the meantime. I know everyone talks about breathing/meditation...
I think what Scaredy Cat has written is great advice. Sometimes I get dizzy even lying down, and once I started doing some breathing exercises it has really helped. Sometimes it still hits me all of...
Hi Jennings, Not, it's not just you. This is almost a carbon copy of what I go through on a regular basis. Although I haven't found a super-effective way to get rid of the anxiety, I find that it...
I had major twitching start when I began a second dose of an anti-depressant I had once before, but didn't get the twitching the first time. It has taken more than twelve months since stopping those...
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and have logged on late at night in a bit of desperation. I have read an old thread from this group about the question I have which has been helpful, but would...
