This is a message that goes to people who have had muscle problems, aches/pains, weakness, etc. As a result of anxiety or made worse by it.

Did you have muscle issues that were caused or worsened by anxiety? What uncles were affected and how long did it last?
Anything specific you did to recover from it?

Not the same, not quite, but...

My worries are centred around, ah, feminine issues, and I have a self-checking habit I can't quite break. I spent this afternoon at a pickling workshop and was very careful to wash my hands afterwards.

Just not careful enough, apparently - chillies and ginger seem to be able to lurk on your fingertips indefinitely and then re-activate at the worst possible moment.

I am stinging so very, very much right now.

Sorry for the typos, but does anyone have experience with this??
