Hi RLR,
and can I say thank you for your reply to my last message re. melanoma I had removed and cancer fears. I have since been back to doctor and he is not willling to entertain me regarding blood tests you suggested. My symtons are still bad am no longer able to go to work as had a panic attack felt like I was going to collapse and have not been back since. Can you tell me with regards to my twitch, my index finger twitches so much it moves from side to side I have noticed that it gets worse if I use the strength in my hand more like for opening bottles it will then twitch for about 20 seconds although sometimes it can happen when im in bed resting, also i have sometimes pins and needles in my fingers and toes which comes and goes and if I wear certain shoes get numb toes on my right foot, I also have strange little twitches all over my body. My doctor has put me on 20mg of citralopram I have been taking it for 18 days but for the first 7 days took half a tablet , dont feel any better actually probable feel worse more anxious last few days. Keep feeling like my legs are strong enought to hold me and also shaky hands. Started back running but when I finished my run my legs felt like jelly and I though they would give way, and then they were jittery all night. Sorry for babbling on but Im so scared have convinced myself that cancer has metastisied to my spine or brain that is why im getting all theses problems with my nervous system. Your advice would be much appreciated . My doctor did a examanation on my yesterday and checked my reflexes and strength in legs and arms he said it was fine also had eye test at opticians and they said the back of my eye looked normal as I sometime find it hard to read things usually when im anxious cant read words. and eyesight goes blurry.
Thank you
Claire
