Hiya,
Thankfully, looking up symptoms on Google has helped me for once as this is how I found this site! It has made me feel so much better that there are other normal, sane people who suffer like me.
I have had health anxiety since childhood, but this has recently worsened considerably. Currently I am speaking with my GP about medications but I am concerned by side effects and becoming dependant. I started taking St John's Wort but the morning after taking it I had a numb and tingling face and lip so panicked and came off them.
I have had a virus, with body pain and really stiff strange feeling leg and arm which made me think I had a terrible illness such as MS or Motor Neurone, things really escalated quickly.
I am still trying to deal with this day to day but now feel that medication is going to have to be the next step. I look forward to exchanging views and opinions with you all
