Me too scaredcaz, I've had days like that. Today I have a pain in my hip, down to my knee and calf, headache and tenseness!! I too am sick of feeling like this but I am convinced this is all my anxiety. I just try to relax and not worry about it. I've rubbed so much creams into my knee and hip and have now taken some pain killers to see if it goes. I don't often suffer with IBS but my friend has it for days on end and I feel so sorry for her. She gets pains everywhere with it, nice!

I do hope you will soon feel better and that you can try to relax.

All the very best to you.

hi Both

Thanks so much for your kind replies

bronte it could well be hormonal might be worth talking to your doc i am sure there is a blood test they can do to check that i do often think though that us who suffer with this anxiety are so in tune with our bodies we feel every hormone change whether it is before or after a period i hope you feel better soon :hugs:



Hi Jannie thanks so much for your kind woeds especially in my last thread that was very nice to read :hugs:

Don't worry about going to the Dr's, that's what they are there for. My Dr always says to me that my illness is as important as someone who has broken a leg or any other illness, he is always so kind to me. Just let him know how you feel, and I know it is easy for someone else to say not to worry, but please, I am sure you are fine. We have a lovely sunny day here in Kent and that always makes me feel a lot better :-)

I know what you mean though, about being sick of feeling like this. I think every day, please let me have a day where I don't worry about some ache or pain! That would be wonderful. I start CBT on Wed evening, and see if that can get my mind round this blooming anxiety.

I wish you all the best and try and enjoy your day.
