Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 hey Sharon.!!!!!!!!! Sounds like anxiety to me,caused by illness and fear of what tomorrow may bring. Does the doctors want to try enbrel or one of those meds? Maybe you are on it, or what ever the doctor chooses, but if you are in a lot of pain that tells me, they may want to change what they are giving you. Your symptoms do sound like anxiety. Please let the doctor know ,so you can get the right meds. You have every right to be anxious with this disease. It is sometimes a lot and sometimes a little but always sneaking around the corner like a thug on the street!!!!!!!!!!!. Who wouldn't be scared!!!!!! You have us and I pray a good doctor orchestrating just the right meds for you!! Hugs Sharon Liz NJ Quote
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Sharon: I had a long bout with anxiety years ago. As if the Stills doesn't shrink our world enough, on top of that I couldn't drive freeways or over bridges for about 4 years. Here's what I've learned that I hope will help. Your first full blown anxiety attack is usually the worst you'll have - in other words, subsequent ones may be as bad, but won't be worse. Once I learned that I wasn't going to die or pass out on the road with my kids in the car, things started to ease up. Use medication if you need to, but if you can get into some talk therapy, do that so you can get your head around what's making you panicky. It took me a while, and I still don't like big high bridges, but with Stills you learn to pay attention to your body and what it's trying to tell you. Anxiety attacks aren't fatal, even if you're sure they could be. My daughter is now going through the same stuff due to the great parental modeling she got as a kid. Yeesh..... This too, shall pass. lizdaly101@... wrote: hey Sharon.!!!!!!!!! Sounds like anxiety to me,caused by illness and fear of what tomorrow may bring.
