Hi
I am just coming to terms with my symptoms here and have spent weeks searching the web for 'joint pains', 'internal shivering', 'excessive sweating', 'sleeplessness'...big mistake, every symtpom ends in 'cancer' which has made me even more anxious!
I still am no really sure I am in the right place, here's my symptoms and hopefully some of you can relate
I have a constant feeling of impending doom..either me or someone really close is going to die
Sleeplessness and when I do nod off, awful nightmares
Awful thoughts running through my mind
Internal shaking (I dont know how else to describe this)
Joint pains, not horrific, just twinges and flutters all over my body
Sometimes breathless as if someone is sitting on my chest.
Although I dont like looking up symptoms on the web I am constantly doing so AND i keep going to the doctors for every test imaginable which is becoming quite embarrassing!
The list goes on and on and I really thought I had a terrible illness until I accepted I could be suffering from anxiety??
I actually really hope this is the case, does anyone relate to ANY of this?
The impending doom is the worst symptom of them all, It has been with me evry day for almost 2 months.
