Sound Familiar?
« on: January 02, 2010, 01:02:49 PM »
A man walks into his doctor's office complaining about headaches, nausea, chest pain, and dizzyness.
The doctor immediatly orders a barrage of tests including CT scans, MRI's, bllod tests, x-rays, balance tests, and suggests the man see a Neurologist. The man was driven to see his doctor because he woke up each day frightened beyond belief. Of what, he didn't know. After months of doctor's and tests, the man finds the term Anxiety Disorder online and begins to research it. $3,500 in medical bills later, the man finds helpful websites like this one and begins his recovery.

Actually the first time I thought I had a terrible illness (97), my doctor told me that I was probably suffering from post-partum anxiety.  She ran a bunch of blood work to be thorough.  I then went onto a neurologist, who also told me that he thought my issue was anxiety.  But for my own reassurance he ran an MRI.  It came back clear but I didn't believe it.  So I went to a shrink who, believe it or not, told me that it was likely anxiety causing all of this.....

MOST anxiety happens at the subconscious level.  JUST because you don't feel consciously anxious or had a day or two of calm doesn't mean your mind & body are relaxed.  It can take months of reduced anxiety before a body goes back to a more non-reactive state.
