I have been doing fantastic with my health anxiety. I had to get off my medicine and just made the decision that this thing is not going to rule my life anymore. I realized that, for me, this is a mind over matter thing. I have been in such a dark place (even hospitalized due to my anxiety) but it is so freeing to make the decision that this isn't going to control me anymore! This has been a few weeks now and I know I will have setbacks, but I am feeling better than I have in years.
My only issue is that I am still having some "symptoms", which I have always attributed to anxiety, but I thought would go away since I am feeling so good. Mostly tingling/muscle twitching. One of my fears is MS so I am considering going through with an MRI, even though I am pretty sure that this is all just anxiety and I don't want to go down the MRI road and possibly relapse. I know it has only been a few weeks and I'm sure it takes your body some time to get back to "normal" but I was wondering if anyone had any input as to how long these sort of things stick around?
