Hey all,
As I've written before my huge HA fear is vCJD which I have been worried about for 8 years. For the past two months my anxiety has become particularly bad due to a stressful time at university and I became convinced I had vCJD. I have been feeling better recently after starting to take escitalopram but Ive been suffering a bit of a relapse. Whilst visiting the doctor last week she gave me some information on vCJD in order to show to me just how rare the disease is but unfortunately it also included a list of symptoms. One of these symptoms was pain and strange sensations in limbs. Since then I have been incredibly aware of my hands and feet and have worried about it so much that I have begun to struggle sleeping and this is only making my anxiety worse. I do have a little pain in my limbs but this is normal as I am quite active and have always had bad wrists due to playing too many videogames as a kid. Has anyone else suffered from this awareness of a body part and what did you do to break this cycle?
Thanks
