Hi
I am 100% sure I have health anxiety, prob my whole life but went out of control during my second pregnancy I got one thing after the next, lumps, tingles, moles etc etc. So after the birth of my son it is no suprise I went real nutty with in a month I had 2 MRIs, 2 CT scans and just felt awful. I then suffered months of derealization & thinking something was really really wrong with me. I have a huge fear of MS (my mom has it). Finally i went to therapy & started Zoloft have been doing great. My Dr & therapist say I can off Zoloft when I want ( i am on 25mg). Then all of a sudden weird health issues arise and off the deep end I go again.
My symptom now is burning sensation, it is in my feet or my legs, today in my back and stomach. I drove 2 hours int he pouring rain to my neuro to tell him I had MS. He told em to up my Zoloft. My dr gave me all my blood tests and everything came back normal. So after days on end of googling I found this site and it helps me believe this burning is anxiety. But I am just not sure, and if it is what the heck can I do to stop it. It iconsumes my mind.
I do want to mention this all started up the week we put our home back on the market (for a lot less then we owe), and me & my firend started our own business.
Sorry this is so long I just wanted to give some background info.
Thanks
Shannon
