Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are tough to deal with. I've had them since I was 12 -I'm 31 now. (I've sat in the ER many a time wondering if I was having a heart attack.) What helped me most in life was to literally remove (or ignore) as many stressors as possible. Whether it means people, places, situations -what ever, I cut it all out where possible. Even close family. It's worked wonders for the frequency of my attacks. I've never believed in taking drugs like Klonopin, Ativan, or Xanax EVERY DAY for the 'chance' that I'd have a panic or anxiety attack this very day out of the 30 days of the month. (Say you have 10 per month, that's 20 days you're medicating yourself when you didn't really need it.) All of these have been prescribed and thrown at me since I was a kid. I prefer keeping something on hand to take 'for the chance' it happens to treat it then, instead of the opposite. Even then I start out at the lowest possible dose, and only step it up if need be. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." These are VITAL words to live by when dealing with anxiety and panic disorders!!! This type of stress will only halt healing. So anyway, hang in there... and cut stress where you can so that you'll have the energy to deal with the things you cannot change instead of fretting over the things you can. For the things you cannot change -lean on your friends and support systems and do the best you can with what you have! Brigite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clinical definitions may vary from what I'm about to say, but in simplest explanation, I think the difference is what actually brings them on, and also the symptoms: ANXIETY attacks usually happen when you're worrying about something that causes you distress. (ie: worrying about an upcoming event, worrying about having to go to a crowded public place) PANIC attacks usually happen when you are actually doing something that causes you distress. (ie: attending an event, being in a public place) Also, the symptoms may differ physically and/or mentally. Here's other info: Panic attacks are usually characterised by sudden bursts of (usually) unexpected fear. The symptoms can include palpitations (racing heart), light-headedness, dizziness, vertigo or lack of balance, and an overwhelming need to escape. Commonly hyperventilation is present during a panic attack. Anxiety attacks are usually characterized by both mental and physical symptoms. The symptoms can include dizziness, sweating, labored breathing, difficult swallowing, tingling arms and legs, vertigo, nausea, visual disturbances, a depressed feeling, feeling detached.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Sandy, after reading your post, I got thinking about what has happened to me in the past -- I used to have doozy panic attacks and end up jumping out of our vehicle as my ex-husband drove into the ER drop-off spot! They'd shoot me full of demorol and I would be in lala land for 12 hrs. One of the reasons for these panic attacks can be that they are coming from an emotional/mental level from all the stress we've all had to go through. Or past experiences as a child, traumatic events, still stored in the subconscious mind. When I was living on the West Coast, my friend Ron - Holistic Educator/Healer, did a series of treatments with me called " clearings " which took me into my subconscious mind (without hynotism) and I discovered some traumatic incidents in my life were causing me to react today, especially when it was due to health issues. About the only way I could get attention from my Mom when I was young was to be ill. She worked full-time 6 days a week and my sister basicly raised me. She resented me and treated me poorly. When I took that pattern into my adult life, it did not go over very well in my relationships, as I believed the only way to get love was to be sick. My Mom would bring me toys, comics, etc. home to alleviate her guilt. Well, that sure caused problems for me in my marriage. When I found out what I was doing, I went to some session and " re-progammed " myself. There are still remnants of this left, because whenever my son & wife go shopping and I'm babysitting, I ask them to get me a treat! (Usually when I'm not feeling well.....interesting, eh?) I was so impressed with this method, I asked him to train me. He did so one-on-one for a year and a half. I would do sessions with him, to help him as well. That's the best way to learn, in my opinion, is to do. He called it " clearings " or " neural network therapy " . There was a friend of mine whose husband was a pastor of a church here in Red Deer...this was funny.....he wanted to make breakfast for her and surprise her one morning. She woke up earlier than he expected and was in the kitchen to make coffee. He walked in with a full apron on and she had a BIG reaction. " WHAT are you DOING? " She exclaimed. She usually didn't talk to him like that, ever! He said, " I wanted to make you breakfast, cuz you've been so busy lately, I wanted to surprise you! " She burst into tears and left the room. Huh??? In a few minutes, he tapped on their bedroom door... " are you o.k.? " She came out and hugged him. They sat and talked about the " trigger " when she saw him in an apron, her Mom was standing there all of a sudden, and she unconsciously reacted to a day when her Mom was really mean to her, in that kind of setting. So the apron ticked her off! Knowing these tools, they talked it over and prayed together, and he continued to spoil her with breakfast plans. Wow, I didn't intend for this to be an essay!!!! It's amazing how past decisions and experiences can affect our lives today. For example, it's like when a 5 yr. old learns how to tie their shoes...they try and try and then all of a sudden, they can do it. Once that happens they simply tie them automatically. Similar to when we drive...we do all kinds of actions " without thinking " consciously. Anyway, I'm a real advocate of looking at all 4 areas when I'm dealing with disease. I spent most of my life hearing " it's all in your head " . Ninety percent of our physical symptoms are psychosomatic, which just means the process begins in our brain, with thoughts, which turn into feelings which manifest in our bodies, as stress & disease. Whoa, I'm really chatty today, aren't I?? I'm just so passionate about this subject. I hope this helps a bit...I'm currently working on another level of why I need to " save " people...I worked on the rescuer thing for years and learned the hard way that I can't save the world, but sure can make a dent. When I was a child, there wasn't anyone to stand up for me. To advocate for me...so as a mother I went a bit overboard with my children...being there at the school when there was a conflict between teacher/student. On the good side, I taught them to be assertive and stand up for themselves and to be accountable for their behaviour. On the negative side, I was not popular with most of the teachers, and the boys were picked on for that reason. All in all, it was worth it. Now, in my life, I feel more balanced with it...we'll see when I begin my volunteering with homeless people again. That'll be a big test. Hope you're weekend is awesome...Nurture thyself with hot baths and candlelight! Hmmm...Sunny, take your own advice. It's been weeks since I had a luxurious bath! Oh, oh, that didn't sound very good....I HAVE had showers. lol Love, Sunny > > When I was explanted a lot of my symptoms dissapated immediately > Dam shame how these implants effected our minds, bodies, and souls > > Now I have to go back and get cut open again because I never knew > anything about capsules/scar tissue until I found this support group > > I am hoping after this surgery I wont have this shallow rapid breathing > and the feeling of my heart fluttering all the time.

I thought it was the baby moving it felt just like that, Dr. said no it was too early to feel the baby move, I still get it around my heart, I think it is just the muscles spasming and twitching, I hate it sometimes it hurts like an electric shock, I get it in the head too which usually triggers a migraine, Terri P Sandy we need to hang in this together, TerriP Hawaii > > When I was explanted a lot of my symptoms dissapated immediately > Dam shame how these implants effected our minds, bodies, and souls > > Now I have to go back and get cut open again because I never knew > anything about capsules/scar tissue until I found this support group > > I am hoping after this surgery I wont have this shallow rapid breathing > and the feeling of my heart fluttering all the time.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sandy, As far a the HPV goes, you have had the virus for some time, if you have not been sexually active for 6 years. Your viral load has probably increased because of your deteriorating overall health. This could flare the HPV up, even if you were asymptomatic since contracting it. What treatment did your doctor recommend for treating it? No need to fret about it, just be sure to do whatever he/she said to do. Put vitamin E directly on your son's wound to help it heal. Just poke a hole in the capsule and squirt it out and rub it in. What steps at detoxing have you begun? Even with the capsules still in your body, detoxing will still be effective at helping you to heal. I know you were trying to figure out a form of exercise to help drop weight as well. Have you begun some sort of exercise program? If you are doing some gentle walking, it will help your body drop weight because it is more than you have been doing, especially if you drop your caloric intake some as well. I wished nearby and could go out and walk with you. The reason gastric bypass is so effective is that patients' caloric intake is limited by the surgery. If you can limit your intake on your own, you can achieve the same result much more healthfully.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sandy, The HPV thing is probably a sign then that the implants have weakened your immune system to the point that the virus has become active. You probably had it for a long time and never knew it. Some of the symptoms associated with implants are that women get every cold that comes along, and also flu-like symptoms. It's amazing that doctors have not recognized the damage implants have on our immune systems. So sorry to hear about your son! You can give him Vitamin E if you like, but I don't think it is absolutely necessary.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thank you for this, Ivy. Most of us have what seems like a panic attack, but it is not. I know that for me it was respiratory problems, and eventually my doctors did believe me. There were times when I could not get a deep breath, and later this became so bad that my doctors sent me to a respiratory therapist. They did a stress test, and they confirmed that I had a breathing problem. My story is too long, but I want every woman to know that just because you have your implants removed does not mean that you are completely well. It will take time to get the poison out of your system, if in fact we can. My breathing is still at only 40%; however, in my opinion, it would get better if I could learn to breathe properly again. Most all of us have been so stressed out over these unsafe devices that we forget how to breathe...that is my problem. We all know that doctors would rather give us something to shut us up, and many women have fallen prey to this. These women change in so many ways once they are on medication...they no longer want to be heard. I will give you one example. A lady in Vancouver, Canada, was fighting so hard for us, even though she had been threatened by the Dark Side, but she would not stop. Later, she was put on Elavil and she stopped fighting. We were so shocked in that she became a different person...she no longer calls anyone!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 This sounds like it's related to our brain fog, big time! Thanks for this important information. Adrenal support should be big on our list of things to do. We've touched on this subject several times in the past. What I find interesting is that for almost all of us, there is some involvement of the endocrine system. The thyroid is very often affected. I wonder if the adrenals are too often overlooked? The adrenal glands require large amounts of Vitamin C--that I know--and there are herbs such as ashwaghanda and schizandra. I might look into some support supplements. http://www.herbsforliving.com/Gaia-Herbs-Adrenal-Health-60-liquid-phyto-caps-p-224.html Patty Panic Attacks I loathe the phrase "Panic Attacks".

I am so sorry that you are still not well and that you are having a difficult time finding someone to do your capsulectomy. I think it is terrible that the cost prevents so many of us from being able to get better and get the surgeries we need! The heart palpitations and panic attacks, (or whatever they are) are terrible!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Katy, Yes our Sandy is only one example of women who are not only robbed once, but twice from there old PS. Proper explant is critical for regaining health, this is what this group is here for, to warn of how import proper removal is. I can't express enough about proper removal. Hearing women's stories like Sandy and Gretchen and others before them. Go back and read about a lady named Margie Horan, this nightmare of in inproper explants. I remember Margie explaining how her old ps took her into his office sat her in a chair, cut a small slice under the crease of her breast, punctured the implant, letting this toxic bio-toxin release into her body, she was so sick and never recovered, only got worse. Sandy's PS ripped her toxic salines out through her armpits and it just bother's me how any PS could have such nerve to even do that. Knowing there was no way for him to remove the contents of the shell through a valve tube. He had no other way but to go in and puncture the toxin shell, releasing all the bio toxin into her body, to then absorbed. Do they want you to get well or do they do this to keep you sick? I will truly never understand.......... God Bless You Sandy, Gretchen and Margie. I will pray you find a way to get those capsules removed properly and get drains, someday soon. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Goodmorning Dianne ~ Can you describe exactly what happens during your panic attack? Big question, does your heart race during the attack? When you have another one, will you take your pulse and let me know how many beats per minute it is beating? One of the best ways is to check it from your jugler vein on your neck. Located to the right of your vocal cords. I had some strange things sorta like what I would have called panic attacks, but it was something else. It did start after implants...........My prayers are with you, and I am so happy you are getting those time bombs out of you soon. What a blessing ! Hugs ~ DedeAOL now offers free email to everyone.
