My Symptoms

[meemo]

Hi everybody

Didn't think that there had been a thread of symptoms for a while so here is a list of mine. Please, please, please respond with yours and if you have the same ones as me, please let me know as i am beside myself with worry. I feel completely and utterly lost and helpless - I REALLY do feel like i am LOOSING MY MIND.

nearly constant twtiches in feet - arches and random other places
sunburnt/tight feeling across top of left foot comes and goes
feeling of warmth/rush of blood to soles/heels of feet
random muscle and joint pains
really bad twitches whilst resting before sleep - fingers/hands/arms/head twitch/move even my breath (diaphragm i guess) - please tell me somebody gets them this bad - it has got to the point where i dread getting into bed - i just wait for them to start and when they do, i lay there shaking from head to toe in fear.
lump in throat/sore throat - need to keep clearing throat
reflux
wrist pain/base of thumb pain
clicking jaw - temple pains/headaches
constant/obsessive checking my body for symptoms
needing to check internet for reassurance all the time
sometimes a buzzy/vibration type feeling in legs/feet
burning/frost bite feeling in tips of thumbs/forefingers
wavelike pressure feeling to neck/head


please, please tell me that some of you have the same and what ..... please . I don't want to appear desperate but i guess it is fair to say that i am.


thanks

OMG i HAVE HAD ALL OF THOSE SYMPTOMS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER!!!

And you know I was bloody scared to sleep as I kept jolting awake, twitching and I stopped breathing too!!!!!!

I have been on meds for 8 months now, I was off for 6 months and went down hill.

You see I too body checked, I don't now as want is just not there and now when my body does something weird I just don't even think twice about it, it's such a relief.

I had a burning pain on my scalp and It really hurt, I had it for weeks.
I also have awful twitching that I made an appointment with a neuro, I was ok of course.

The reassurance is only normal and I found that it helped for a short period of time before something else came along.

I also thought I was loosing my memory too, I would check every day to see what I could remember out of my week and when I couldn't remember the whole week minute by minute I would panic.

Gosh I have come a long way, you can get better I promis.
Pop into your Dr and have a word

HUGS

I have a lot of these symptoms too.

Right now i have the dreaded fear that my heart is going to explode in my chest and have severe pain, but it has been coming and going for 5 days now.

Anxiety is evil

berkshiregirl and hollytree have pretty much the same symptoms as me, except i also tend to have chest pain and discomfort when i'm anxious.
but it seems like dizziness is the most common to me.
