Comments:

Still reallying trying to get used to it, my body doesn't seem to want to recover at te moment, as I get over one symptom and then the following week I have another.

Judging from some of the questions, I seem to get away with it quite lightly, of course to me it doesn't feel that way.

I'm getting there...the longer I have lived with the anxiety the better I know it and so the less power it seems to have. But the symptoms are harder to shake, and I'm sure some are due to actual illness.

Great questionnaire - I can't wait to read others' replies :)

Comments:

I'm better than I was 3 months ago I thought I was going to die every day then. I used aspirin for my impending heart attack every day/night have stopped that. I'm on beta blockers and the heart worry has gone mostly but has been replaced by breathing, headaches and stomach pain worries! Currently going through a hernia/appendicitis phase.

Comments: Are some of these things shown to have a link to depression/anxiety then? I hadn't made the connection with a lot of them.

Yes, or at least 99% percent of them. In fact, oddly enough, I went to my dentist complaining of tooth sensitivity/nerve pain and he could not find anything wrong. I told him I had health anxiety and asked if that could possibly have something to do with it? He said, "Absolutely!" Then he proceeded to tell me that he was going to cure most of my anxiety right there - nothing's wrong. You know what? 90% of it went away immediately. :shrug:

I noticed a lot of people don't know what TMJ actually is - here is a quick explaination.
Temporomandibular joint disfunction - Symptoms of TMJ include: pain in the jaw, sometimes spreading to the ear, stiffness and swelling in the jaw, and even headaches. The muscles of the jaw may also become stiff and tender, especially in the morning and opening the mouth may be difficult. Factors that cause TMJ disease include grinding the teeth during sleep and clenching teeth.

Comments:

when I'm working (teaching) I can forget about the symptoms. I'm preoccupied with the past and bad things that happened. I feel better socialising and talking to friends and getting it all out. Usually I'm a good laugh. Caffeine, sugar and red meat are all on the off list now.
The feeling of impending doom is the worst - that my life is all over.

Comments:

My symptoms tend to last for a week or two at a time, then I get a new set of symptoms, generally at the moment they're getting less and less dehabilitating - from chronic fatigue to dizzy spells today. I tend to ignore it and get on with my life, but with college work it can just really get me down. Tend to feel better after I've slept a lot - symptoms also tend to dissapear when I don't think about it, which isn't as often as I'd like!

Still reallying trying to get used to it, my body doesn't seem to want to recover at te moment, as I get over one symptom and then the following week I have another.

Judging from some of the questions, I seem to get away with it quite lightly, of course to me it doesn't feel that way.
