Been decent, this weekend was fun aside from some minor symptoms. Went to the eye doctor today for my ghosting/visual disturbances. Was reassured again that it is my astigmatisms and not something...
I’m hopeful...Got a couple of maybe answers though...Said the pain sounds muscular skeletal, that it is likely either through an injury or through anxiety I’ve cause inflammation in between my ribs...
So I went to the doctor yesterday and got some decent answers for my chest/rib pain, the physician said that it possible my rib pain is from a few things, but mainly said it is possible my anxiety...
Ren having an incredible amount of shoulder pain. Went to visit my parents and got more stressed out than relaxed from visiting them. Have had some double vision and intense shoulder pain to go along...
Been a pretty stressful week, rib pain has kept me up late at night, as well as a fear of going to sleep and not waking up. I try to do my best each day to be mindful of my thinking and intercept bad...
Yeah, my doctor once Dx'd me with it, that's why I include it in my signature. But I can't understand why it comes and goes so infrequently, it's hard to discern exactly what is causing it to set...
Had some pretty bad rib pain today, I have to wonder if this could be fibro? :( Hope everyone is doing well....
Thank you very much Hibee I’ll definitely give it a go, I appreciate the kind words and motivation....
Thanks S.C., it's a godsend to see you are still here helping people. You are an absolute admiration, you and Hibbee both. I look up to yall and thank you everytime you've helped me seek sense in my...
Having good sleep hygiene is probably the most important part of good sleep, anxiety or no. Generally for me I try not to stay on a phone or computer too late if I feel like I’m going to have...
Hello all, Not sure who is still around, I miss my skype group of friends who used to/are still here and of course the chat group. I relied on them quite a bit in past years and sort of stopped...
Hello :) I know how you feel with having vision problems and anxiety, for the past few months I've been experiencing ghosting (double vision), blurred vision, eye fatigue, after images, halos, blue...
I think you outlined some very good reasons not to continue working there. You asked to only work 15 hours and made that aware when you were hired, they chose to ignore that and give you 30 hours....
So this is a bit of an odd problem to have, and it's something I've experienced before, but it worries the heck out of me. A few weeks ago I went to the doc to talk to her about my anxiety and about...
Thanks SC! It's more or less just the waiting for it to come in, I'm stressing out because I think something is going to happen before I get the insurance and I'm going to be out of pocket a lot of...
Quick catch up: Only 15 more days until I've got insurance again, it's both a relief and a stressor. I started generic lexapro 10mg Saturday night, haven't noticed too many changes just yet. A little...
Yeah BCat, it's awesome! It's a great distraction from anxiety and depression....
You got this bro, I'm right here with ya, it's going to be a breeze and in a few months we're going to be so good at Rocket League they're gonna pay us to do it, haha....
Hibee that's the worst, I remember I've been called late Friday afternoon to be told I needed to come in to discuss my results. It would usually result in me panicking over the weekend... Kitt you're...
Thank each of you for what yall do, there's no telling how many lives each of you have touched by being the supportive and warm hearted....
RWC I've been dealing with left side rib pain on and off for a few year, my primary dx me with costochondritis. Lately it's been a mostly daily experience , I've been going to see a GI doctor and...
Thanks SC :)...
Wow, So this has been a stressful day. Didn't get much sleep last night, I emailed my doc about switching to Lexapro since I didn't feel comfortable with taking Effexor. She emailed me this morning...
Can we post cat pics? Animal pictures always make me feel better :D...
Update: Got my new lenses today, I noticed a huge difference. I'm still having some ghosting problems, but they aren't nearly as bad as my last prescription. I'm thinking maybe this means this is all...
Hey SC thanks for the continued support. They checked my biliruben levels just once, my primary wanted to test them again in 3 months but my GI wants to go ahead and do the ultrasound because of my...
Update: Went to the GI doctor today, he wants to do an ultrasound after looking at my blood work since my liver count is high. After that he wants to do a ct scan and possibly a food study. I'm...
SC, I did do a sleep study, they found I have mild sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and acute insomnia. I got my results in today from my endoscopy biopsies, everything was clear. Have an...
Thanks SC, I appreciate your continued support. The forum and chat have been a godsend. This morning was really rough for me, I woke up about 3 hours after I went to bed with intense abdominal pain....
Thanks SC! :) I had an upper GI endoscopy done, they took biopsies of my GI tract to see why I'm having abdominal pain. Sort of panicked at the moment, but I'm making it through. Just battling...
Update: Went to have my blood work reviewed today, some good news and some not as good news. My vitamin D is really low, my dr is putting me on vitamin D supplements to raise it up to normal levels....
Bam! You'll be ok sweetheart! I know how you're feeling, I've felt that very same way many times. Work with your therapist and do the things they suggest. If you can't focus enough to do mindful...
Update: Went in for the Upper GI Endoscopy today, went fairly well, they didn't find anything but food moving slowly in my stomach (I had fasted about 12 hours prior to the operation). They want to...
Hey Bam, today has been pretty decent for me, I've been in a mood all day and my vision has been a little better today. A little anxious for tomorrow, but aside from that, not bad! I'll probably be...
Don't get discouraged Bam, you can do it! :)...
Bam I know how that feels, with my GAD I can be feeling "fine" emotionally, but my body will give me weird pain cues that will send me into a state of stress. Whenever you do physical activities does...
Thanks Scarey, I appreciate the support I've received, it's really helped. Even though I wake up in pain I do try to keep on the bright side. I'm looking forward to finding answers Monday and later...
Thanks Scarey and Hibee, Another update. Went to the GI doctor today, he wants to do an upper endoscopy and he scheduled it for Monday. The cost of it alone sent me into a crying fit. I talked to...
Yup, Risen this triple digit weather ain't helping is it?...
That's great news! It's curious that my dr just prescribed me Effexor when I take blood pressure medicine to keep it down. I'm glad to hear you are getting the help you need! Be well!...
Risen you'll be ok brother, I know it doesn't feel that way, I haven't been doing well myself today, but it's going to be alright man....
Didn't feel well enough to post this last night, eyes were hurting me. The visit yesterday with the family practice went decent, I really liked the FNP I saw, she was sweet but professional. I talked...
Vision appointment: Things went pretty well, Dr was really nice and thorough, found out it is an optics issue and most likely an issue with my astigmatisms. Getting a new prescription for my glasses...
Have you consulted your doctor about GERD? I'm having similar pains, though mine are mostly under the left rib (upper quadrant), and are worsened by lying down. Are you scheduled to see a GI doctor...
Guys I would definitely look into the resources provided he on the website. Breathing exercises can help a lot with calming down. Even though I'm at the height of my health anxiety I use them often...
Hey Scarey, Glad to see you're still around helping people :) As far as the anxiety goes the only treatment I have at the moment is breathing exercises and some meditation. My abdominal pains...
It's been awhile since I've used this site, in the meantime I've been mostly anxiety free, up until about three months ago. I used to take Lexapro up until probably February of this year. I had a...
Hello, So everything has sort of been going fairly well for me lately. I received a promotion at work and have been really excited/slightly nervous about it. I have lost weight and on the anxiety...
Hello, Well it's been a long ride trying to discover what is wrong with me, but I think I'm getting a little bit closer to the answers I've been looking for. After extensive cardiology work up I'm...
Hello, I know what you mean. I haven't had this particular problem for a long time, but since my health anxiety was triggered I have found I am more anxious on trips or leaving town somewhere an hour...
