All in all, I feel I've been doing better since I started on the medication, but one thing is really terrifying me - I don't know who remembers, but my main physical symptom that was terrifying me was a strnage sensation and sense of weakness on my right side - mostly in my arm & leg. There was some numbness on the right side of the face as well, but that's gone for the most part now. Three docotrs have examined me - none saw need for an MRI or CT scan and two told me quite firmly this was due to anxiety and stress after perfirming some tests on me - no scans.
Anyway, so things have been better lately, and they started FEELING better after I spoke to my old psychaitrist.
My one fear though is that when I first wake up - right in those first few seconds - that's when it's the worst. That's when I feel these horrible sensations in my right arm & leg. It feels almost like an energy in them, like I MUST move them and when I do, they mostly feel better until I put them in another position that they don't like.
This is scaring me because if my symptoms really are "psycho-sematic" as I've been told (and I do trust my doctor.) then how can they be most strong, when I'm barely conscious?? Is this really possible???
Please help, really scared again.
