Hi everyone
My name is Elaine and i have been having generalized anxiety attacks for about 8-9 weeks. My husband was diagnosed with cancer about 3 months ago and I was coping very well with the situation, once we had seen the oncologist we were both very positive and looking forward to the future. Then about 2 weeks later i started having feelings of pressure in my head, tingling in my arms and hands and generally not feeling right!I went to the gp who prescribed anti depressants, i lasted on these for 4 days as i was feeling very anxious about taking them and on the 4th day i had a really bad hot flash and thought i was dying.
I am now taking st johns wort and black cohosh ( for hot flushes ) .I am feeling a lot better than I was and have to say that since I discovered this web site am feeling a lot more normal than i was.
so glad i discovered you lot!
Keep smiling
Elaine
