hey lulu,
Sounds alot like me and many other people here. In four months, since all my "problems" started with a minor infection. I have given myself many diseases. Here is my list: Lung cancer, throat cancer, prostate cancer, heart attack, stroke and even thought I had sepsis. Sorry, but my point being is we have to continue to tell ourselves that anxiety is mean so and so and will do weird things to our bodies. On this site they list sooooo many problems anxiety causes we all could probable diagnose with a hundred different things all at once. I know going to the doc doesn't always help but that is what I did. I still fight the thoughts everyday but try and remember what I have read and what I have been told. I"M FINE!!! I do not develope rare diseases in one month. Impossible, this is not a House or ER episode. I know, easy to say and hard to do. I come here alot to read and re-read posts to tell myself I'm ok.
Be strong, read a book, do sudoku or go sholve the snow.....we got what looks like 8 inches last night.
And by the way right now if it helps at all, my left foot and hand feel "funky", but I know it was not there before my anxiety started, wasn't there until 3 months after my anxiety rose its ugly head. MS? no Stress/anxiety/depression...YES!
Peace.
