About 3 yrs ago groin and low back pain started too, and pain and twitching in legs.
I am fatigued all the time.
Along with this are symptoms that I do accept may be caused by anxiety such as agitation, restlessness, inability to relax, dizxiness, feelings of terrible doom, sweating, bitter taste in mouth, burping, dizziness and many many more.
Yes I do have severe anxiety, but I feel as if its justified anxiety because I know I must have a serious physical problem, if you get what I mean. I have suffered with anxiety from being a teenager, im 64 now.
I have always known we can never be completely sure we have nothing wrong with us, but I know I have something wrong with me because I still have the pains etc even after repeated tests.
Im distraught about it at the moment as I see no happy end. After consultjng several drs , even a private one my symptoms remain and a day without them is extremely rare.
Sorry to sound so negative, but that is how I feel
Still take propranalol and fluoxetine. Try to pracice mindfulness and breathing and relaxation exercises but when it gets this bad I cant. Take baths twice daily. Take vitamin and magnesium supplements. Ruth
