(JRA) Rhuemy Appointment and Anxiety issues

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

As you all know I have just started Enbrel with pretty good results. I have

been having some joint pain lately so we were depending on this appointment. I

have been having a lot of anxiety. For example yesterday I heard some noises in

my house and was so scared I ran out of the house and called my grandma and

wouldn't go back in the house until my grandma walked through it completely as I

hid inside the car crying. I pretty much had a panic attack. Sometimes I feel

like crying and I have no clue why. I won't be sad but I will want to cry.

I also have been having lots of stomach issues that come on randomly. As we

discussed this with the rhuemy she asked me about if I was doing things with

friends, if I was stressed, etc. Then she told me that I wasn't getting

socialized enough and that I should go back to school. I don't know if you all

remember, but the school told ME to leave. I didn't start online school for my

medical status, I started it because our only other choice is public school.The

schools were I live? Not so great.

Then she kept saying that I needed to try to back in January. WHAT?! This

definitely didn't help my anxiety. I began to cry in the office. I can't go back

to my old school that would put me through hell. (sorry) I don't know what to

do. I am so stressed and upset and I can't even think straight. I also had to

establish that I am not depressed and that I don't want to hurt myself. We left

the office with a lot more questions. Also, she tested for some auto immune

stomach issues.

Does anyone know anything about any of this? Personally, I think it's because of

me being sick and all of the meds.

Could any of my medication be doing this?

Please help
