Burning sensation in legs/body.. Anxiety?

[hockeycrazy3033]

This past summer I went to the ER twice in a matter of days as I had a fast heart rate, numbness, dizzyness, etc.. They ran a bunch of tests on me and found everything to be normal. I've been to the doctors since then and they've taken tubes of blood and tests came back normal as well. I've also been to a cardiologist twice in the last month because I constantly worried about my heart thinking it was WAY too fast at 100-120 beats per minute. That's when at rest to! They did an ultra sound, ekg, holter monitor..etc and found everything was normal. My doctor then told me he thinks it's my nervous personality/anxiety that is getting my heart rate up and keeping me paranoid..etc. I mean it seriously is the most uncomforable feeling in the world. I'm ALWAYS paranoid that I've got some illness. I'm constantly looking up symptoms online and when I find one I automatically think I have a problem..then I get scared and my heart starts to race..etc.
Lately I've had this fear of diabetes! First I had the fear of cancer, but now it's diabetes. im  always so paranoid and just because I have frequent urination Im all worried thinking I have it. And to top it off I've had burning sensations in my legs today for no apparent reason. It just feels like sunburn and I look at it and it's not scratcher or anything! Then I go back and think OMG this could be a sign of diabetes..so of course I get freaked out all over again.

*continuing from what I previously said because it wouldn't let me finish the rest*

Anyways, I have three questions. 1. Does anxiety cause a burning sensation throughout your body? 2. Can regular blood tests tell if you have diabetes? I even was checked for billirubin *which is about the liver* and they told me everything was fine and I think your liver would be messed up if you had diabetes right? 3. Does anyone here that has anxiety attacks ever feel extremely weird and not real? I feel real but it just seems odd. Like I always think something is wrong with my head because I feel like im out of it but im not. Kinda misplaced feeling. It's just weird.


Also, I'm a 20 year old female. 5'1" 118, and am fairly active. Diabetes does not run in my family, nor does any other disease. Am I just being too paranoid?

[shnin]

1. Does anxiety cause a burning sensation throughout your body?  yes, it can, and it can be extreme.  I get it all over.  even in my brain.  

2. Can regular blood tests tell if you have diabetes? I even was checked for billirubin *which is about the liver* and they told me everything was fine and I think your liver would be messed up if you had diabetes right?
The doctors must have checked me 8 times over the last 2 years for diabetes.  negative every time

3. Does anyone here that has anxiety attacks ever feel extremely weird and not real?
yep.  That is exactly how I feel most of the time.  and when I do not feel wierd it feels great, like My brain has just returned from a long holiday off somewhere.  and the problem is your trying to stop being wierd, but the anxiety makes you feel wierd.  wierd hey!!!

[hockeycrazy3033]

Thanks for answering. :)

You're right about everything. My liver would pretty much have to be messed up as it relates to diabetes. lol also the weird feeling..it's like you are TRYING sooo hard to get back to normal but the more you try the more it doesn't help..I guess it's just gotta come back on it's own! I just gotta be positive.

Thanks again!

[shnin]

That is all I have ever wanted and that is all any of us want.  Is just to be normal again.  I have a friend who is suffering depression, real bad.  

and she says to her husband every week, I just want to be normal again.

I just posted an article further up the page as well.  have a read if you want to.  

I am coming out the other side, without drugs, and am very proud of myself and hapy to be on the home stretch.

good luck, and god bless

[nate89]

wow hockey we have like the exact symptoms except minus the burning pain, but my anxiety pains seem to be in my head, right wrist and sometimes chest. and as u already know i thought the really weird feeling was from a brain tumor. its crazy how one day ur having a good life everythings normal. then one day bam all this shyt just comes down on you, all sorts of pains and constant worry. i am still fairly new to this anxiety BS. and i cant wait to be normal again. does anybody know how the h3ll anxiety starts?

[fairygirl87]

Hi I have had panic attacks/anxiety for about 6 months now and in the past month they have gotten extremely worse. When i read your thing it felt like i was reading something i wrote.. i too am 20 yrs old and i weigh about 105. I lost weight due to the anxiety. I have been in and out of the doctor now for a month and like you , everything is normal. My symptoms feel like something is seriously wrong though and i also thought i had cancer, diabetes and everything else in the world! My symptoms consist of rapid heart rate, muscle stiffness, burning sensation through out my body, headaches, paranoia, tremors, numbness and tingling in my hands and arms,  shortness of breath, and a feeling like i am going to pass out.  I also have feeling out of no where that something is seriously wrong, its very scary and the whole thing has turned my life up side down! but i have good days or moments and they feel great i feel like my self again or normal....i guess just take one day at a time.

[fairygirl87]

i forgot to mention that i have problems with swallowing too but the doctors think thats also due to my anxiety...especially since i have a fear of choking.

[dizzy68]

just want to say tht i too feel the same as you guys i am eighteen and it is all new to me too. I am finding it so hard to accept my symptoms are not serious and they are anxiety it is soooo difficult. I have been getting pulpatations and feeling like i am going to feint, pains ect Do u have to get tingling hands and that for it to be anxiety because i dont get things like that? Sorry Lol x

[Netter1965]

My symptoms started back in Nov. '07.  My leg felt bruised sitting in my office chair.  Then eventually burning sensation went down left side of leg & now it runs through bottom, both legs & into feet.  Sometimes, I will have burning in my arms & hands & sometimes a tingling sensation in my face.  Very weird.  I've had extensive tests with a Neurologist (nerve/muscle testing) &  Neuroseurgeon (MRI's, bloodwork, you name it).They ruled out diabetes, thyroid disease, autoimmune diseases, anti-inflammatory diseases. My family Dr. is treating it as neuropathy.  However, after reading everyone's comments, I'm thinking it could very well be an extreme case of anxiety.  I had my first attack in Sept. '07.  My life has been very stressful since then.  They say stress does crazy things to your body.  I've been on different medications for nerve pain.  None have worked.  I have recently been put on Cymbalta.  I'll keep you posted to let you know if it calms the burning down.  I'm so ready for some relief.  

[ERichard]

I've been in and out of ER last week for high BP, fainting spells, and burning sensations in my leg, groin, and arm. They can be in one place, and then another, or in two places at once.  It's like someone took a just burnt match and placed it on my skin.  I can also get that sensation near my eyes.

[cleanteeth05]

After reading some of your comments I think I may be able to go to sleep tonight.  My anxiety or panic attacks started a year ago.  I went on cymbalta and everything was ok.  Then this past april weird things started happening again.  Getting very dizzy burning sensation on the top of my head, tingling on the left side of my face, and it drives me insane.  I am constantly thinking that I am going to drop dead. I turn 30 on friday and i have two little girls, and all I want to do is watch them grow up.  I am tired of feeling this way and tired of doctors,  I have yet had any other tests done. Although I am going to just to rule out other ****, so when these sensations happen I can try to calm down. It just really ***** that I went to having a normal life a year ago and everything has turned upside down.  I am having a really hard time enjoying anything right now.  

[ERichard]

Hi Clean,

I can relate to what you're going through. About two months ago I felt the same way.  A LOT of burning sensations, thinking I'm going to die, panic attacks,  high BP, etc.  All the tests proved negative, but I passed out one day, and ended up in the hospital for eight days.

I too am on Cymbalta, as the psych Dr. wants me off of Ativan and Paxel.  Good luck to you, and don't give up.

[pepss]

i have burning sensation in my foot in my privite area i am a male whats causing that can it go away

[tommylee333]

i also get the burning sensations in my legs feels like they are on fire the doctor told me it was an inflamed nerve.

[stokeseybird]

i know how you all feel and god isn't it horrible im a 26 year old female i have been suffering from anxiety/panic for a year now and im sure i have had every symptom going and think that i am going to die instantly im so scared all the time i have 4 kids and they are my world i worry what would happen to them if anything happened to me it is awful and i just want to be me again i will list some symptoms and hopefully someone can relate to these by far my worst symptom is heart futter/flops then headacres and all over weird feelings and sensations in my head,burning senstion all through my body feeling i can't swallow and i really have to force myself to,trouble breathing,chest pain and the dizziness is another i hate always feeling of balance and the feeling that i will pass out at any moment and many more to many to list anyway hope this helps and if anyone can relate to reassure me that this is anxiety that would be great until then im sure there will be many more trips to the er and many more to the doctors and i prey that one day this will all go away

[overit2]

I have had panic atacks and anxiety for 20 years on and off.  The last several years are okay, but my parents died and I have been stressed alot this past year.  The last 2 days I have experienced pain and a burning sensation on the top of my head and on my forehead and face.  I ahve convinced myself  I MS or some dreadful disease.  I am 45, and otherwise healthy.  It's ahrd to believe that anxiety can do this.  I am going to the Doctor tomorrow and I am sure we will start all of the tests to calm me.  I don't know what else to do.  When does the burning sensations stop???

[niamac]

I too have this burning sensation, top of my head, forehead, scalp, face...!!
Im also getting a feeling that i have something stuck inside my head, like a huge airbubble or something.
My panic and anxiety started about 8 weeks ago now and i have thought about nothing else since. I am convinced there is something serious wrong with me, at first i thought it was my heart or diabetes or something. The doctor gave me a blood test, ekg, urine tests which all came back fine. I started to feel relieved but this didnt last long. I am now sure that i have a brain tumor/anurism or blood clot in my head. Im hoping to get an MRI in the next few weeks. I am only 22 so i know that im just being a hypochondriac but the symptoms feel so real. Here are a list of some things that have happened to me - pressure like air bubble in my head, burning pains, numbness, popping noise in head and neck, cant keep still, feeling as though im in a dream all the time, trembling, heart palpatations, dont feel like i want to do anything, cant leave the house alone, feeling like im about to die any second all the time!! chest pains, confusion, tinitus, fear of going mad..............
Anybody else have these really weird feelings in their head?

[daffysoundz]

ok so i ve pulled this one out of the archives, because i have not heard anyone talking about burning sensations in a while now, im getting a bad burning in my back, the thing is, when i touch it, it does not feel like my skin is hot at all but yet when im sitting down and my back is resting on the back of the chair i can feel it.
anyone else have the same felling

[MC0915]

For the past few months I have felt like something is seriously wrong with me. It started with muscle twitching in my arms that have since spread everywhere. I have also been experiencing nauseau, no appetite, fatigue, insomnia, muscle aches and pains, and the past few days I have been getting this burning feeling in my body. I had it in my back the other night, I could feel it more when I was laying down. Right now I have it in my head. It's a pretty scary feeling. I did not know what was wrong with me and made the mistake by looking it up online. I found that muscle twitching could be a sign of MS, ALS, and Parkinson's disease. That was all I needed to here. Now I worry constantly that I have one of these diseases. I went to my dr and he told me it was anxiety. I have also been waking up with racing heart and feeling like I can't breathe. So, yes, I really do think that anxiety can cause that burning feeling in your body.

[justwondering12]

just wondering if with everybodys anxiety do you have these feelings pretty much constantly or just every once and a while. i went to a neurologist for dizziness that has been here for 10 mths and he says that he thinks it is migraines but we are wondering if my anxiety is playing a big role. when you all have dizziness from anxiety how long does it last bc mine is a pretty constant thing being off balance all the time.

[Julzstar]

I feel a little relief reading everyones comments. It was almost a blessing because here I was having symptoms AGAIN and jumping on the computer AGAIN to to see what disease I might possibably have. I've always been a nervous worry wart, but never never to this extent, its taking over my life! I"m a 30yr old mother of two and I've lost the ability to enjoy my life and my children!! Who am I, where am I, when will me return!!!
MY SYMPTOMS- ache body arms, legs, fingers, toes. Tingly numb feeling left side of head & face (not a headache) left upper shoulder pressure & acheness, stomach burning sensation (usually in the middle) left breast bone burning sensation. I have convinced myself that I am dying of a terrible illness CANCER! I must have a tumor thats growing on my left side thats spread to my brain! I've thought of it ALL!! I dwell on it and when I start concentrating on these symptoms here come the panic attacks!! sweating,heart pounding i can feel it throbbing in my throat, shivering, trembling, nausea, upset stomach, cant sleep, passing! I feel like a crazy person trying to talk myself into feeling normal again! I'm in a fog daily, like i'm not all there. My mind is constantly on the go!! i cant control my thoughts.
I'm so scared to going to the dr because A-he's gonna think i'm crazy or B- He's gonna tell me YES you have a serious illness like CANCER and I cant handle hearing those words. i will really lose my mind!

HELP is something really truelly wrong with my health or is this all mental???????

I am now on Zolof and some other Activan (when panic attack occurs)

[autum]

I can relate to the symptoms..   When I was a kids I was seriously really depressed, and didnt want to live...   but the older I got... I still had problems with stress, depression, ect...  due to all the problems in my life...  and finally in 2006 or 2007 I started having breathing problems really bad at work and I didnt know what it was so I went to the doctor...  and he sent me to the hospital to make sure it wasnt anything serious..  come to find out, I had my first pannick attack, which lasted a couple of days...  he gave me a inhaler, and then after that he put me on lexapro 10mg...  but before that..  I was having burning and pierced sharp pains in my arms, legs, feet, ect..  but after I took lexapro, it seemed to help for a little...  my pains were so bad at times..that I dont know if this is part of it, but  one morning I woke up with my knee hurting and then by that night, I was on crutches because I couldnt walk..  then after that...  my pannick and anxiety attacks were still pretty bad...  so he went from 300 mg of welbutrin and lexapro together... now Im on Zoloft, and it seems to help me a little... I take xanax when I feel an attack  coming on..  I have noticed though I still having burning in my feet some, but it hasnt been that bad since i started taking zoloft...  Also I dont know if this is another problem, or the same thing, but I cant wear pants due to it hurts for my knees to have anything laying on them...  I have to leave my knees out from under the covers because it hurts..   anyone having symptoms like this?  


Autum

[autum]

I dont know if this matters but: Im 24 weigh 140 and height 5'6.   Im a mother of 3 kids... 1 of my own and 2 step kids (mykids) and I have a lot of stress in my life with my son's father...  and my mother who doesnt want to have anything to do with me... she is more on my son's fathers side than anything...and she is constantly manipulating my 7yr old, which really hurts me ...  so I do have stress with that constanly, and work...  I guess I worry to much

I have gotten some comfort from reading your comments here.  I have had several problems for about a year.  I am 47, male.  It started with headaches and loss of sleep.  It then caused burning in my arms and mid section.  Recently, the burning has gone to my legs and groin area.  It has change my mood and feelings alot.  It is like you want to be yourself again, but just can't get there.  Every day is a new struggle.  You try to put the bad feelings in the background and move forward, but it is hard.  I has have trouble swallowing when the burning feelings are going on and get dizzy.  I am on cymbalta and get counseling.  It does help.  Good luck to you all.  Thanks again for your comments.

[MCR2008]

I have all the same symptoms as you. I recently went to the er myself after going almost a week not eating, having extreme nauseau, diarrhea, headaches, numbness, muscle twitching (lasting almost 8 months), dizziness, loss of concentration, memory problems, weakness, tiredness...you name it and I had it! They took my blood and ran tests and said that I was suffering from anxiety. My dr said the same thing when I went to see him a few weeks ago. For some reason I did not believe him and still thought I was suffering from a brain tumor or some other neurological disorder. I was also having heard palpitations and my heart rate would reach 120 at times. I had an ekg and wore a heart monitor and my heart is normal. The worst thing you can do is look up illnesses online. Take it from experience. I use to do the same thing and all it did was make my anxiety worse. If you didnt' think you had the disease before reading it you will after. I recently started taking medication for anxiety and feel it has helped a bit. I don't feel as nervous and I stopped looking up illnesses online. But just know that your not alone and you have every symptom of anxiety. The worst thing is I didn't even know I had anxiety so it was hard to listen to some doctor tell me this. I hope you can get something to help you and that you feel better soon!

[pjroberts]

Yes the burning sensations are due to Anxiety, Also the Aches and pains and the all the weird feeling all over your body .. and i mean from top of head to bottom of your feet.It is cause by a normal reaction of you main nervious system. And it all is annoying BUT!! harmless and EVERYONE gets them Just some ppl motice them (us the anxiety suffers). The we think them out too much and panic.. that too is normal .
But very scary. Im no Dr. but i researched this fro many months since ive been out of the Army . I am almost over mine by Drug free , Knowledge of the problem. Dont give up in actuallity The truth is there is really nothing wrong with all of you .. you can go out and do all that you want to do right now and you wont die of clots or tumors (i been checked for though) .Take it slow dont rush your self BUT!! everyday try to do atleast one thing you think you cant . and take your time about it . It really works. My e-mail address is ***@****  ,pls fill free to answer any questions about anxiety i hope to learn from you too .I feel for you all but promice you all will be ok just try . Meds r not the way they just mask anxiety for a bit them they come back.

[penguin522]

hi, i have been having achy musles and muscle spasms and burning sensations in my legs only!! I do have anxiety. I was a very active person before these sensations started- walked, ran, yoga. now i am afraid to do anything for fear there is something major wrong with me . any advice? i have 2 kids i can't have this consuming my every thought!

[mom2makinlee]

Wow I am really glad to read eveyone's comments on here...I actually got off my Zoloft about 2 moths ago and then all of a sudden started getting pain in my neck and back spreading down my arms and then to my legs I am getting cramps and tingling/burning.  I consider myself an expert health anxiety searcher and first had myself convinced due to the neck pain going down my arms that I had a tumor in my neck.  Then when the leg thing started I had myself convinced I had a blood clot.  Now I am having the burning all over and have researched so indepth that I have figured out that I must have a tumor called adenoma on my parathyroid gland causing my body not to absorb calcium and magnesium.  I have been taking supplements but the funny thing is doc already checked my thyroid...so dont know why I am trying to diagnose myself.  I am really glad everyone here has had the burning all over though cause that was my next search...I think I need to get back on the zoloft but I dont want to cause I lost 15 lbs getting off of it.  I know that sounds horrible but it makes me really fat and right now I am at 115 and 5'1 so it is so perfect!!    

Question does anyone else have the burning all day or is it just when your having an anxiety attack?  

Also I clench at night and I know alot of my neck and shoulder and headache symptoms are due to that just cant control my thoughts from thinking it is something worse.  Is health anxiety a form of OCD cause I have noticed once I start I cant make myself stop!

[JeffreyG]

Hi, i have anxiety attacks off and on all my life, along with major migranes.....within the past 2 months i have had burning sensations througout my body...legs,arms, brain....,which causes additional anxiety.... but also during the past few months i have been under an enormous amount of stress....possible loss of job, selling house,  possibly moving halfway across the country....along with a few other issues.....anyway my neuro doc ordered new blood workups, but when i see him next week i have a feeling he'll say everything is normal......he's had me on Depokate, lyrica, and recently added clonzapam.....but took the Depokate away.......so will see what happens next week....anyway it is comforting for me that i am not the only one suffering.....but as of this point i have to beleive the burning/tingling sensations have got to do with my stress/anxiety issues.....

[wantstofeelgood]

I always have suffered from anxiety...my life is a constant worry..the newest thing is the pain in the back of my head which radiates to armpits arms, fingers, and legs...its a burning feeling..i constantly think something MAJOR is wrong with me...I have ativan that i dont even use....im worried...even at home when Im not stressed my mind is always thinking the worst...HELP

[Munchie64]

Like you, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one suffering this very painful burning. I just recently experienced the burning in the past week or so. It started in my feet and now it's moved into my knees. It kept me up all night last night. I know that, like every other average American, I've experienced stress. More so now than ever. I always felt like I could survive it. I've had multiple surgeries including a double mastectomy for breast cancer. So, I think I've done well in handling stress but after reading everyone's comments I may have to revisit that. I've been in such pain that I felt like I needed to go to the emergency. I've never been treated for any type of nerve disfunction, stress, or anything of that nature but it may be time.  I'll let you know what the doctor says.
My pain is frequent but not continuous. It burns as though I've been bitten by a bee but when I look there's nothing there and it's extreme pain! :(  Thanks for sharing, I'll keep in touch. Elaine

[NotCrazyAmISeekingHelp]

I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder back in my early 20's.  I am now 35, male, married with 1 child and one on the way.  My work is stressful beyond the imagination.  Financially, i am always worried about things.

I've been walking around thinking that the feelings I'm experiencing are only me - and lately, i've been thinking that i'm crazy.  But now, after reading these posts, i don't feel alone.

I have feelings of burning in both legs, my sides and even my arms.  I am on Clonazepam for anziety.  I can't believe that the severe stress can manifest themselves in the painful and probably whats worse, annoying symptoms that i'm experiencing.  I will check back to this page often.  So glad I'm not alone - it  will allow me to sleep tonight for sure.

[Villalobos]

Hello, im 16 years old and started with anxiety attacks my first game of high school varsity soccer when i was a freshman. Which was like four months ago. I was taken to the ER but they ran all tests possible and said everything was normal. I have been feeling chest pressure, huge headaches, and all different sorts of symptoms. I started to grow  fear for playing soccer, which is my sport since 3 yrs old. I was the fastest in track also and went down to state to place first. I have been fighting anxiety inn the soccer field, I'm just afraid something might happen to me on the field.

[TT1109]

I know how ALL of you feel, been there done that!   Some people don't want to hear this, but you need help, and when I say help that means you need to talk a Physicist.  This did wonders for me, I went to 5-6 sessions and just being able to talk was a relief.  Also, what helped was when I had an anxiety attack, my Physicst told me to wear a loose rubberband on my wrist and he said whenever you feel an anxiety coming, start popping the rubberband on your wrist.  I kid you not, this really help!  By doing this, it take your mind off the anxirty attack.  

Shortly after that I no longer had anymore anxiety attack.   I haven't had a attack in years!

[cnote]

Sounds like you are letting your anxiety run your life.

There is nothing wrong with you. It's all just anxiety getting the best of you.

I went to the Dr. 3 times in the past 2 weeks! B/c of neck pain... I was having neck stiffness/soreness for 10 days straight! and it worried me!

I was also getting sharp little boltz of pain running through my head...

I asked the Dr. if I could get an MRI to give me peace of mind.... he denied me... I asked him why.... and he said "because that would be giving in to your anxiety... you have to control it, and not let it control you"

He then assured me there was NOTHING wrong with me.... I asked him... "are you sure it couldnt be cancer? or a brain tumor causing this?"

He replied "Im positive... it's anxiety causing this... muscle stiffness/soreness is all anxiety..."

and he knows me... he's my family doctor and has been treating me for anxiety for about 2 years now...

i'm getting MUCH better. =) I only have a bad spell now about once every 6 months!

I think you should talk to a Dr. about your issues... he may prescribe you a little something to help take the edge off... but I do think seeing a counselor or a psychologist will help you GREATLY. =)

There is NOTHING wrong with you! Remember that!

All of your symptoms are ANXIETY!

You are also NOT MENTALLY ILL.

You just have a "THINKING" problem... an "IRRATIONAL" thought process...

Get a little talk therapy... see a Dr, and I'm sure you will be back to your normal self again. =) Positive. =)

The Dr.'s have tested you for everything. When they take your blood... they would have told you that you were a diabetic. It would def. show up.

The burning sensation... NORMAL with anxiety.

The feeling like nothing is real.... NORMAL with anxiety. It's called "derealization."

Hang in there!

YOU WILL BE GREAT!! I JUST KNOW IT!!! =)

[TT1109]

Your words are so TRUE!  Great message.

Hi,
It been a year since my dad passed away. I have not seen him for approximatley eight  ( as a result of migration) years though we had very regular contacts. He was a loving DAD. His passing and my never seeing him again has brought on tremendous stress and thus stress symptoms. I attend his furneral and after I have returned to uk from the caribben I commence to feel the most bezzard, mind recking symptoms.
First it was small burning all over as small as the eye of a needle radiating from right side face, scalp with just my left shoulder muscle the entire shoulder muscle.
Them spasms undulating thoughtout my body  and now along with the spasms and burning is pain. The pain writhe through my body like the spasms which now has seemed to surpass the spasms. The pain only lasted a split second and move on to somewhere else. In previous months I have had a few days almost pain or symptom free and then close to menstrating it commences again.
The calf of my feel at times feel tired from spasms and pain for a few days and then th a relief intersect.
Striking face, head and neck pain, a buzzing sound in my right ear that lasted a few second and over a days period. Spasms everywhere sparodictly but not so severe now.
I have convinced myself as most people mentioned of terrible sickness (we alway think of the worst in situations like these).
It is so debilitating and continous over a year now.
I have been to the doctors and six occasions, seeing four different GPs, taking all the blood test heshe could think of relating to my symptioms and all returned negative.
I have not done anything nuero yet.
There is no deteriorating physical imparement other than the symptoms mentioned. I am of the belief that this could be stress as I have noticed individuals mentioning similar burning everywhere and spasms so I believe as long as any potential problems is ruled out by your GPs the symptoms could stress. If anyone feels pain anywhere on there body, this include head, face neck, back, thights, legs, fingers, wrist, hand and very much everywhere from a short duration please let me know. thank you very much.
Jac
I am trying to relieve stree with music and exercises, eat as best possible as anyone can and take a health supliment this might start the road to recovery. Stay positive even in difficult times and be optimistic that the furture has somethning in store. Hope this helps.

[lawfulmurphy]

Have any of you taken an ANTIBIOTIC - a FLUOROQUINOLONE.
EG: Cipro, Avelox, Levaquin, Floxin, etc.
within the last YEAR.  THEIR REACTIONS ARE DELAYED.

[jakegorzen]

Sounds like parasites to me, and giving the fact that doctors have about a ..2-10% chance of actually finding them, that would explain why they didnt find anything.
Or...lyme diseases...which is also caused by parasites from ticks, etc..

Med Help has a Community just for Lyme, go check it out, and ask them what they think

DR's have a bad habbit of treating people for "Mental disorders" when they cant find the "real" reason

If you want some info on how to help treat yourself for parasties, write me, and I can help you.

Take care

hello from a almost ex-anxiety suffer,

How do I send a message to someone without sounding like a frigging salesman?? i have been suffering from anxiety for years now and I'm 80 - 90% cured. It's weird how you after reading comments from other users you start feeling better doesnt it? if anyone is interested in what 2 books/programs i bought and read that have helped me allot. Email me or send me a message. AGAIN...I'm not a salesman!! LOL and i dont want to post in here saying buy this and buy that. I figured if we message or email back and forth, so you get to know me and learn im not just another scam poster trying to sell you something. PS i will not try to get you to buy something - sometimes it just nice to talk to someone who suffers from anxiety and can relate to what we are going thru!!

hello,
i  suffered an anxiety attack for the first time two weeks ago. i have been in and out of the doctors as well this past two weeks. they told me it was just a panic attack but they would not explain to me the reason, cause, or how to treat it, and fast. first they gave me an inhaler and benadril. after that, lorazepam and after that i was given lexapro that did me no good that just make me more depressed. I have heard of the burning sensation everyone has been feeling. i feel it, it starts on the back of my head and works it's way down my neck, back and both arms. i went to the doctor for this and they said it was just my nerves and that i was getting a fever. oh wow, i said, that sure did not help. now i know it is anxiety related, but what does the fever have to do with it?  this past two weeks have been the worsest in my life. i lay in bed all day and i have four kids that are also worried for me apart from my husband that's driving him nuts cause he does not know what to do. today my family in arizona have decided to come and pick me up, i live in las vegas nevada. hopefully i will get better for my family knows exactly what i'm going thru cause my father went thru the same with his dipression and all. i know they can help me and my husband agrees. i just want to get better. i have lost 15 pounds in two weeks, i have an eating disorder now. i have trouble eating anything that is solid, it gets me nauseated and i want to vomit, but because of what i have read, it is all anxiety caused. i never knew how i got it cause two weeks ago we were on our way to arizona to spend some time with my family when it happened. i was not thinking much of anything and me and my husband were having a good conversation on how much fun we will have once we got there. I really want to keep in touch with everyone cause i know you are going thru the same thing as i am. it really helps to be around someone who knows and have felt what i have been thru. And for sure, i keep hope close by. god bless all and please keep in touch with me. elizabethporras13 at gmail.com

ive been dealing with anxiety several months now-and i need major HELP!!! it started bk in sept 08 when my husband and father of 2 became very sick!! i took my husband to the ER and here he was going septic!! he was transferred to one of the best hospitals in the world and when he was in icu it was then that i found out my husband was at end stage liver disease!! it was such a big SHOCK!! he is only 31 and very healthy so we thought!! he has been to dr.s and have had blood work done b4 but htis never came up!! he needed a liver transplant immedietly!! but he had to beat this infection first!! come to find out he has an autoimmune disease that caused cirrhossis and has had it for about 10-15 yrs for it be at end stage. Thanks to God he beat the infection and was put on the transplant list. hes had 2 calls to get one, but they were both no goes!! due to the all the meds he is currently on, he is doing wonderful and the dr said it could be yrs b4 he got a call!! then as im dealing with this, my uncle was diagnosed with cancer-a tumor had grown in his sinus cavity for 2 yrs and never caught. the cancer spread and unfortunetly it was too late and my 44 yr old uncle passed 4 months later in feb 09!! so at this point im scared about evrything!! started getting sharp head pains all the time!! bugged my dr and she finally requested an mri-came bk clear, picked up a sinus infection which then scared me even more cause when my uncle had this tumor growing he kept going to the dr and they kept sending him home saying its an sinus infection!! all they had to do was an x-ray and they would found that tumor!! keep thinking i have some type of cancer, so scared i had my dr do all kinds of blood work, came bk fine except i had type 2 diabetes!! the worst thing i could of done was look it up online and which i still do with other symtoms and scare myself. lately its been really uncomfortable feelings in my chest-i swear its my heart!! i went to my dr and she has no concern- thru this whole ordeal she has told me its anxiety!! i did have an ekg done in jancause i guess i had a panick attack-it came bk normal. my lefyt arm gets heavy sometimes, sharp pains, and weird feelings and just a few days ago i started getting weird feelings in my lower left leg, around the shin. all iknow is ur heart has to deal with alot of ur left extremities!! then to top off, i find out im pregnant!!! not that im not happy, but i fear that i will die giving labor or having a heart attack or stroke!! or that our baby will have something wrong!! i did quit taking the ativan and the diabetes is under control. my a1c as of last month is a 5.8. i cant go nowhere cause i get scared, i hate to be left alone cause i get very scared. i get dizzy, lightheaded along with all the other body pains!! i hate living like this!! i want to go bk to school next month(i quit last yr when my husband bacame ill) but i fear sitting in class and maybe falling over dead!! im starting to not allow my other 2 kids do anything cause of my fear. i dont want them to suffer. i feel really bad because my husband has been my supporter and it should be the other way around!! hes the one who is SICK!! an he is strong and has so much faith!! ive tried counseling-didnt work!! my dr has been there for me and tells me to call her when i need her, but i hate bothering her, i dont want her to think im crazy!! is it really anxiety or could it be something else?? if it is anxiety how can i deal with it

hi im 34 yrs old male from the philippines, the 1st time i think i had anxiety was when my heart stops for a few seconds and i almost fainted that day, it was almost 3yrs ago. thats when i knew i had a heart problem (wolff-parkinson-white syndrom (syndrome)). i had 2 ablation procedures since then, last one was feb of this year. since then i always feel afraid like im gonna die anytime. im always dizzy all day like off balance dizzy, heart palpitations even at rest, and so many other bad feeling. its reallyb hard for me everyday, just standing up and walking it feels like im gonna fall, yesterday i felt a chest pain with palpitations so i texted my cardiologist, and he ask me to take coralan.. im going to see him again this week hopefully to see if my wpw is back or if i have agina or is this just anxiety. it really is scary all the time for me, reading all of your comments here really helps me calm down, hope we can get over this feeling. wishing each and everyone of us good health, God bless us all! cant wait to be normal again and be able to enjoy life..
