Hello

[Leigh77]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lisa but everyone calls me Leigh, I am 38, married 18 years and have 2 girls age 17 and 8. I am from NY.

I have suffered from Anxiety and Panic disorder since 2000. I have recently found out that I have an inner ear disorder which has caused a lot of my panic. Doing research I have found that there have been some people who have suffered panic just to find out that an inner ear disorder has been the problem all along.

I still have anxiety though and it is nice to find a place where I can get, give and find support.

Thanks,

Lisa

hi leigh,

I'm new but settling in ok! Since you found out about your ear infection, has this "changed" your attacks at all? I know you mentioned about the frequency, but are they less intense or anything?

Hi Leigh

Welcome to the site. It must have been some relief to find out about your inner ear disorder that has caused a lot of your panic. I can imagine you still have anxiety as it isnt like a cold where it can disappear over night. But now you have the strength and knowledge and i am sure with all the support and help you will get on this site you will get along just great.

Love Sal xx

Thank You for the welcome.

I did feel better that I had some reason for the panic attacks. Now when I am in a store I know it is the inner ear problem that I have and not an attack. But I still suffer from anxiety all the time. I still worry that the doctors were wrong and that I also will get very sick again. I am still recovery from this for a year.


Thanks again.

Leigh
