Hi! I've been feeling a lot better recently, which is really good. I feel a lot less panicky and a lot more in control of symptoms, even when they do pop up, just observing them neuturally and seeing what happens.
But recently I have been having a bit of trouble with my hands (and feet) and was wondering if anyone can shed some light.
My hands are almost always cold, this has gone on for a few years, but a few days ago they started being really tingly (sometimes in localised places like on the top) and numb almost constantly, with stiffness and pain near the joints also appearing.
When I touch things hey sometimes tingle, or spasm.
They also turn purple (like alarmingly deep purple) very easily.
I get random muscle spasms in my upper chest and arms and tingling in my feet very easily too, especially when standing.
So I was just wondering, if anyone has any experience and would be able to answer one or a few of the following questions:
1. Do you think this sounds like a by product of being very anxious for a few months? Or is my body adjusting back to normal again? This has happened before a few months ago.
2. I'm only 18, but do you think this could be artritus or a nerve problem.
3. Do you think it could be a ciculation problem?
I don't really want to go to my doctor yet.
Many thanks!
