Hey guys,
the last few weeks I have started to develop a completely new set of issues that I am not convinced are related purely to anxiety issues.
1) Spine, upper back pain. This comes on sometimes even after a good night's sleep in good posture, and is quite painful. It is not consistent, but occurs somewhat frequently.
2) Vigorous shaking in certain muscles and head when releasing muscle pressure. For instance, when I bring my arms/shoulders down after shrugging, it causes an intense shake in my shoulders and head. It is not a smooth motion to lower them, but rather a very 'jumpy' sensation. this happens when lowering my arms sometimes too.
3) Increasing amount of body/brain jolts. I know a lot of people experience this when going through withdrawals, but I haven't taken a pill in almost 4 months and I wasn't taking them very often to begin with. These are getting worse and debilitating, as it feels like a massive and sudden electrical rush through my head and body that makes me feel incredibly dizzy.
Normally in the past I have been able to attribute my symptoms to anxiety and depression, but the back/spine pain and shakey/spastic muscles have left me completely unassured. I have no health insurance and have to rely on free clinics; but I am slowly starting to convince myself that I have developed some serious neurological disorder that may lead to complete or massively compromised loss of muscle movement or brain function.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
