Not likin' that winter's comin' !
About Me: Female, 34, San Francisco - CA, member since Aug 2007
Well, since this is a medical forum, I think I'll forgo my usual bit about my hobbies and interests, which mostly involve writing, role playing, and Star Trek. That and anything furry and four-footed ! ... [More]

Medically... I'm not as healthy as one would think a woman of my years should be. And my problems are mostly in my head. I have a severe anxiety disorder centered around a chronic fear of heart disease, stroke, and heart attacks.

I know... something a woman in her thirties really need not worry about, right ?

But... you can't argue logically with an emotional disorder !

I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and some traces of Fibromyalgia....

Not a happy state to be in by all means !

But... I've found lots of valuable information here on MedHelp that has made my life a lot more liveable... especialy in seeing so many people with so many problems similar to what I have. It's like having a lot of kindred spirits out there in the world... and that helps, at least, to keep me from feeling so alone in dealing with my sicknesses.

I agree completely with your feelings about doctors in general. I must say out of the 8 that I have seen, he is the best and most caring. Some of them have proven to be major jack a**es. Waiting on my next appointment with him, because this burning pain in my muscles have been really bad these last three weeks. So has the tingling sensations in my head. Somethings gotta give, I am losing my mind. I am not sure what has caused the symptoms to get worse, could it be stress. Just three weeks ago I had 3 family members die within 24 hours, all unrelated circumstances as well.

Oh okay, well my doctor, is the type he will look into anything I ask. He is a 150% sure I have Lyme Disease, but isn't quite as sure what else the Lyme Disease has caused. I will ask him to look into CFS for me. I need some relief, all I can do is try to cope, and I constantly fail at this. I just want to get better so I can return to work.

Hi, how are you doing? I was just responding to your previous note. Like you said, I am not sure that it is Lyme Disease. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as well, along with thirteen other things. How do you cope with your CFS? And who, specialists, diagnosed you with it?
