I was scared to death I had Multiple Sclerosis..
« on: June 27, 2010, 06:25:11 PM »
Because many of the symptoms that anxiety poses relate to MS. I have my google medical degree, and decided to give it a spin. I started panicing and planning how I'm going to live the rest of my life with MS right on the spot. A week later I calmed down and realized all of this is because of my anxiety. Oh by the way, This wouldn't be the first time I thought I had a deadly disease.. man google is not good lol.

Losing anxiety is like losing weight: It comes off very slowly and at a steady pace with a LOT of hard work, however if you start overeating again (Worrying in our case) it comes back full blown in a week or two.

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.

hey dknyc,

I am going through another MS fear right now too. I've been feeling dizzy and off-balance. I havent fallen or anything yet, but this dizziness is driving me crazy and I really dont want to make an appt w a doc bc in the last month i've seen a general doc, a dentist, a dermatologist, a gyno, and an eye doc. im so sick of appts. I had to see them all for diff reasons and everything is fine, but i wasnt experiencing dizziness before so I didnt bring it up to any of them except the eye doc and she had no clue why.

I dont know if I have always felt somewhat dizzy, but just didnt focus on it bc  i was worried about other symptoms or if I really do have a new symptom. I'm so scared its MS and I'm scared to get a brain scan bc if I have one tiny dot on it, I will think it is MS even if doc says it is probably not and I just wouldnt be able to handle that level of anxiety. i cant even imagine waiting for the MRI to come back.

Have you had dizziness?
