Hi

I had this last year, when it was really hot summer I was sitting at home shivering unable to eat or leave the house I lost so much weight. I was worried cos I could not eat and was getting thin, I could not see a way out of it I thought I was seriously ill.

You might not feel like it this moment in time but the symptoms will subside I have re-gained my weight and no longer shake :-)

Hi,

Yes, I still suffer with this. The shaking is because of the amount of adrenaline in your system, and this will affect your ability to eat aswell. It's that primal instinct to fight or flight and a glitch seems to be eating doesn't come into it! The coldness could be an affect of the lack of food, how long has this been going on for? I would recommend getting something like Complan or Nutren, they are quite expensive though so maybe try and get your GP to prescribe a supplement drink instead. This really is awful and I hope it stops soon!! Take care! x

thank you for all your replies, i feel better knowing that others have felt this too, been so scared because ive never experienced this, cant believe the state of my body, i look like im anorexic or something its disgusting, doctor put me on medication and im on my 12th day now and my body seems to have calmed down a little bit. It helps knowing others have suffered this as i really didnt know what was happening to me xx

I do get that feeling in my stomach. In fact the first place I feel anxiety is in my stomach
