Is this anxiety?

[czimblonde626]

Since November I've been feeling like I'm medicated ALL THE TIME. It's like being underwater or in a dream or something. I've also got extreme fatigue, no motivation tingling in my extremities, twinges of pain throughout my body, digestion issues, and constant vision problems. I've been to the hospital twice and my GP more times than I can count. Had a CT scan on my head and my abdomen, two ECG's, and loads of bloodwork and it all comes back normal!

I've finally talked my GP into testing me for lymes, lupus, and some other things but I won't get the results until next week. She firmly believes that all of it is physical symptoms of anxiety and depression. I do feel like I have anxiety and depression and there is a LOT going on in my life at the moment, but I just can't convince myself that the weird high feeling 24/7 is simply from anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this before? Can this really be just anxiety or is it something medical that the doctors are missing?

This is ruining my life and my relationships! I just want to feel like myself again :(

This all sounds like anxiety  to me and lexapro will help you I'm trying to get on lexapro now mine has been going on since November also and I understand where you're coming from my neck and back hurt constantly I have digestion problems also foggy brain 24 /7 blurred vision it's really scary to feel like this I understand.... I'm hoping that lexapro helps me.

Just wanted to fill you in, all the tests for lymes, lupus, and the autoimmune diseases came back negative. My PCP started me on lexapro which she said  could take up to 6 weeks to work. Last step is to see a neurologist to rule out MS. If nothing comes out of that I'm not sure what else to do.....I guess I'll just have to accept that it is just anxiety and stop driving myself crazy.

Me to and i know how you feel I've been going through this for months now.. I just want it to go away I want my life back.

I wish this would go away for the doctors could at least give us an answer!! It's such a horrible feeling. I keep telling my doctor that the anxiety I'm having is coming from me worrying about how badly I'm feeling but she really does think it's all due to anxiety. I don't believe it though...
