body aches

Does anyone ever get body aches all over from their anxiety. I know that it is possible, but just want to hear from anyone else if they get that. Mine also seems to get really bad a week before my period and a few days into. My anxiety is really bad around that time of the month. Please if anyone can relate please reply.

Yes... body aches.  Plus... tightness in the chest, difficult breathing, lower back pressure (as if my kidneys might pop, tingling sensations, headaches, dizziness... you name it.  I started taking klonopin 10 years ago for mild anxiety and panic attacks.  I believe the klonopin has now increased my anxiety (between doses) so am now beginning to wean myself off it, very slowly and with professional help.

I have had body aches constantly for years now.  They never stop.  The two above disorders fit me perfectly.  Just knowing there was a name for how I feel helped alot!

Check out Fibromyalgia and Borderline Personality Disorder.  See if it fits.

When I used to have really bad anxiety (I go through periods of it being worse and then better), my whole body would actually hurt.  It felt like constant aching...my arms, legs, back, head..even fingers...you name it.
