Hi Everybody
I am so glad I found this site....Here is a little about me. I've always had anxiety but over the past few months its really been bad. I just had a baby (well he's 9 months old) and I would say about 2 months after he was born my anxiety really started to take control of me. It started with the pains in the chest can't breathe, so I went to the dr and he did an ecg and came back perfect. He said just anxiety coming back...he is very aware that I am an anxious person. He said you just had a baby your life has changed so much.
So then about a month later I started to get tingly feelings all over my body, my arms and legs felt heavy, twitches all over body, aches and pains everywhere. So then I googled..I know really bad, bad idea and I self diagnosed myself with ms or even worse als. Went to the dr and he said really this is all your anxiety and googling will make it much worse. He did an neuro exam...perfect all of the bloodwork I could of possibly had...perfect!! He said if it would make me feel any better he could send me for an mri, so I went and you know what...perfect!!
So you would think that after having every test done I would just accept that this is anxiety and I have to let it go....I just can't. I am always saying this has got to be something...anxiety doesn't feel like this. I sometimes feel like I can't go out because something might happen to me while I'm out. I feel like my son will grow up without his mommy!! I hate feel like that. I'm only 29...I shouldn't feel like this.
I also, get this feeling in my right leg like it is numb but not. I could feel it, it kind of feels like the muscle is numb?? Does that make sense? It so hard to explain....maybe sciatica? It doesn't last long. I'll notice it when I am walking and then it goes away. But sometimes I will dwell on it and it lasts longer.
Well, sorry for the long post but I'm hoping someone feel like me. :weep:
Thanks guys!!
