Thanks, i've tried most of your suggestions except swimming because i can't. I usually only have 2 cups of coffee a day. I tried fish oil but only for about a week, probly not long enough for results but it didn't seem to help and it gave me gas and a funny aftertaste. I took 1 theanine capsule but that seemed to make my head feel wierd so i didn't take any more. I do take a vitamin which says it has 100% b12 in it. I drink a little green tea also. I don't know, i don't think i'm ever going to be normal again. I don't have the patience for this, it started fast and all of a sudden so it should go away the same

Yeah, my anxiety is just like this. My main symptom is nausea. To the point I cant move. I also get jittery and light headed. And similar to what you said, I also get cold/flu symptoms really bad and I could swear im getting the flu, but it goes away when my anxiety goes away. I hate it because like you said, its very hard to know when your actually sick. I have a fear of vomitting, so when I get nausea from anxiety I never know if its the stomach bug or just anxiety. I have the same symptoms for both things. Same with a cold/flu. I guess you just start to pick up on little symptoms that are inconsistant with being sick and point more towards anxiety. For me, when I realize my heart is racing...thats when I know its anxiety, not a sickness. If my heart isnt racing I'm pretty safe to say its actually a sickess, since racing heart isnt a symptom of the common cold or flu. Just try and pick up little signs like that...its very frustrating, but good luck!
these are all typical anxiety symptoms. I suggested the following on another post you made..... (1) Diet - eat at least 20 grams of protein per meal (eggs, almonds, walnuts, yogurt, turkey, tuna, etc); cut out all caffeine and sugar
(2) Exercise - swimming is the best
(3) Try passion Flower tincture and/or decaf green tea (theanine)
(4) Supplements - vit D, fish oil, vit B, etc
(5) read about amino therapy - 5HTP, tryptophan, etc
