Mike have I shown you the 100+ most common anxiety symptoms thread yet?  Or have you looked at the TMS= Mind Body Syndrome thread?  Have you had the chance to pick up Clair Weekes' book that I suggested in another post?

All of the things you mention are part of anxiety.  You may well have spondolysis---which I have too, but it won't cause all of these things.  Anxiety certainly does.  And, my friend, you are waaaaay down that thorny path.

Maybe when I have time I'll catalog how I've gotten myself in the frame of mind that you are in right now.  I lost all sense of logically thinking.  I had my husband really ticked at me.  I had friends and other family shaking their heads.  Hell I was even arguing with my neuros wife (she is a doc herself that runs his office now) about how I MUST have MS.  I don't know how she didn't tell me to shut up.  I'll even regal you with my "Neuro nasty list"  that convinced me I had MS or ALS or....

yes you do.  and I'm trying....   

remember you don't get all the symptoms at once for diseases.  Honestly you have yet to mention ONE symptom that either I or someone else on this board hasn't had.

Don't under estimate how anxiety can make you feel.  It is a disorder.  You have anxiety.  It can seemingly pop out of nowhere.  But is a real thing that can affect you life.  It may not put you in a wheelchair but it can make it that you feel no joy only fear.  You don't want that. 

Hey I'm PMing you with something....
