Hi folks, I'm a long time reader but first time poster. This forum has helped me a lot over the past 6-7 years since my health anxiety began, so thank you for that. I just had a baby a few months ago and have been having back problems from breastfeeding/lifting. I was doing well anxiety-wise until a few weeks ago when I had a complete meltdown. I'm having numb patches all over my body (face, back, genitals), pins and needles, I'm exhausted and then there's the back pain. My doctor basically told me it was my anxiety mixed with first-time-mom-ing that is causing all this, but the symptoms seem so intense - especially at night. My legs have recently started feeling heavy when I'm in bed and I'm convinced I have an awful neurological disease. Has anyone out there experienced genital numbness? That's a new symptom for me (not numbness, but the location) and it's really stressing me out. I can't sleep when my baby sleeps and I feel terrible. I should be enjoying this experience with my little girl instead of worrying about my health. Sorry for the rant (please respond).
