anxiety...


I have been struggling for awhile with severe anxiety about my health...this is brought on by 2 gals I know being diagnosed with MS and another gal my age having a double heart bypass!..for some reason I just felt myself becoming panicked..tingling hands and feet, off balance and rubbery legs...symptoms of anxiety (and also MS)..I know the odds are that I am fine, but my mind is obsessing over this.

I have started counseling and also my Dr put me on some mild anti-anxiety drugs and along with tears and prayers and trying to stay occupied, I hope to feel better soon. I know that God is with me and doesnt want me to live in fear, so I am trying to rise above this and keep on going and try to be positive..thanks for "listening" and prayers are always welcome..

Lesa,

So wierd you would post this, I called my SIL for her birthday and she was in the hospital with an anxiety attack. She has Addisons and this could be life threatening. She did get some anti-anxiety medication so I hope it helps her too.
I will be praying for both of you.

I went through EXACTLY the same symptoms, even bought a cane to use because my legs would give out on me just whenever...dr thought it was MS but it was just anxiety. I have a med that I take occasionally (just when I need it) and it works great. Hang in there, I'm guessing/hoping this is just what it is.
