Hi,
My name is Sarah and i have been a member for a while but dont come on here very often. only when i am "searching" for answers.
I will try to give you my story briefly. I have been diagnosed with M.E/C.F.S for around 10 years now.
The symptoms are far and wide. But I do know that there are alot that seem to be what alot of people on here say is due to anxiety. There are so many symptoms on here that I can say that I have.
I am a very anxious person so i know i do suffer from anxiety. but alot of the symptoms i get i just put down to the M.E. I just wonder sometimes if it is anxiety and not M.E... Or could i be lucky enough to have both!
If i give a list of symptoms would you be kind enough to copy and paste it and put a little tick or something next to it if you have it due to your anxiety please?
This would be most helpful as i am thinking about going to the doctor and asking if they think some or all of the symptoms could be down to anxiety and not M.E.
Also is it possible to get the symptoms with knowingly feeling anxious?
Thanks x
Dizzyness
Lightheadedness
Strange chest sensations
shortness of breath
palpatations
Feeling like I am not here, or parts of my body dont belong to me type feelings (strange i know)!
blurry vision at times
muscle pain
muscle aches
tiredness
buzzing/vibrating type feeling in different parts of my body like an electirc shock sensation
sensation like im going to die especially at nightime
aching hands and feet
cold hands and feet
feeling hot when its cold or vice versa
slow heart rate
pins and needles, hands, feet, face
Short term memory bad
not finding the right words where my words come out all wrong
muscle twitches
oh and ANXIETY and OCD!
Sure there is some more but cant think at the mo. Also, i dont always get all of these symptoms, i can go a while without have some of them.
Please take the time if you can to help me, would mean alot and reassure me maybe x
