I would stop fighting and work WITH your Anxiety :)

I get muscle aches/weakness especially around my upper body. I don't know if this will help but I use Epsom salts in my bath and they really help a lot :)

I feel like a stiff board when I get up in the morning, but I put that down to not being as young as I once was lol. Seriously though, anxiety is incredibly tiring, it's like running a bloody marathon!
I don't suffer much now but I can remember what it's like.
Don't you ever get out and about?

I read that Epsom salts in your bath are a good way to get more magnesium, and magnesium is good for muscle cramps etc :)

Yes! I have burnt out adrenals which is a big cause as well as multiple food sensitivities. Wheat/gluten is a big one for a lot of people. It can be very damaging to your gut and prevent you from absorbing nutrients causing a lot symptoms - most sub-clinical so they're not usually picked up by doctors, but nutritionists/naturopaths will be able to pick them up by listening to your symptoms. Epsom salts are great for magnesium which is lacking in most people's diets. Vitamin D is another one that a lot of people are lacking too, especially if you don't get outside much or use sunscreen when you do.
