    Having a bad one, could do with some support

    I have posted recently about my problems and I thought I was getting somewhere but tonight I seem to have hit rock bottom again.

    Been to see the doctor at 6ish and been having these numb/pins and needles feelings down the back of my legs (particularly the left) - the stupid thing is that this is the one thing I forgot to speak to him about. So, left the doctors and went to get the prescription and suddenly felt awful, had a spell were I went really dizzy and nearly fell over and the numbness worsened. I am now thinking I must have a brain tumour, which has been the subject of my recent worries.

    I have been feeling dizzy, had fluid behind the ear which has now gone but still feeling some vertigo. Had shooting pains in my head this morning and I am sat here in pieces as it all seems to be adding up to something serious, to top it off I have been having these twitching sensations that had seemed to have given up recently. I read about someone who had a brain tumour and got this feeling when they looked at their left hand and they felt detached from it, I get this now and it petrifies me. Also been having a weird taste in my mouth, maybe from the amitriptyline though.

    My girlfriend has literally had enough of this, my latest stage of health worry has been going on for over 3 weeks now, never before have I felt it so bad. I know it's worse because it's something that is wrong with my head/brain and that makes it worse and me more worried.

    I just don't know what to do or who to turn to, I can't even bring myself to eat and feel so low. I feel so far past being upset and just like a zombie or something. I see the neurologist a week tomorrow and I am petrified, I keep living the moment over when they tell me I have a tumour and only months to live.

    Hi Mark,

    I'm sorry you're having a rought time. All I can say is that is does sound like most of it is down to anxiety. I'm having a pretty rought night aswell and I haven't got a partner so having to deal with this on my own which is pretty tough.

    I know you will get through this latest patch, unfortunately this is just something that happens to us, at the moment it feels out of control and it feels awful.

    Hi Inew,

    Sorry to hear you are having a bad night too and that you don't have anyone to turn to. I am finding it easier to just be on my own recently anyway as people who don't get this kind of thing just don't understand and become more frustrated.

    I think the darker nights make the anxiety worse, there is something threatening about it dark, miserable, cold weather and I much prefer long summers nights when things naturally feel a little more optimistic.

    Yeah it is a bit depressing being dark as soon as you leave work, I used to love that but now it makes me feel even lonelier.

    I'm really worried about these numb/tingling sensations down the back of my left leg. Anyone got any ideas? I'm not particularly anxious or worked up today but they are still there. If it weren't for these I would feel much better, always has to be something doesn't it

    I'm really struggling to not google this. Hoping someone had had something similar?

    Had something to eat and the horrible taste in my mouth had returned.

    Seriously need some reassurance, please. I'm scared witless

    Mark,

    It could be your sciatic nerve. Its fairly easy to put your neural system under stress from a simple movement. I get alot of numbness down my legs and arms with alot of tingling. Sometimes they just go numb. You may also now be suffering more with it as it is playing on your mind, symptoms of health anxiety. Trust me, I know how your mind can go over these things. Dont google it ! It will make you more anxious. Try keep yourself busy so your mind can re focus.

    It may be a nerve but like with everything else, I've never experienced it before.

    It seems so odd that so many new things keep coming on, I want to believe it's ok and just anxiety so much but then I am scared all these things add up to more serious stuff.

    I just want to feel normal again, rather than an anxious mess.
