hello

me again really down at the moment I still have this symptom some days worse than others. My skin still feels prickly sore like I'm wearing fibreglass. Some time it can also feel tingly. I have had this symptom for about two months been drs twice. I believe dr when I come out and feel relieved then the dreaded health anxiety kicks in and all hell breaks loose. Last night I was to afraid to fall asleep incase I woke up in the morning and could not walk. Or move my arms I really am so scared did not sleep a wink. Even after taking my tablet. Its hard not to think about as it is so uncomfortable. I am not convinced its ms as its been going on so long. Trouble is I worked as a care assistant for 3.5 years and nursed people with that and other awful things so have imagined myself in their situation. I have left the job about one 2 months ago could not sleep with all the things I had seen throughout the day. I also feel so sick. when I do try and fall asleep I twitch, feel like my throat is closing and get a wavy sick feeling that comes from my stomack up to my throat. I feel so lonely in all this my husband says try and forget about it easier said than done.

hi

thanks for your reply. I think ive got to accept that it is anxiety and then the symptoms will get better. Trouble it is a vicious circle I hate having health anxiety the doctor tells you one thing and your brain tells you another.

Thanks again

Hi Lorraine

I don't have health anxiety but I get the prickly burning skin.

Treat as you would a panic attack and try just to observe it dispassionately. It won't go away overnight, but to accept it you have yo ride it a d not be so impressed by it.
