RE: panic attack? lyn

[Guest guest]

Yes I get very embarrassed; I have to go

up stairs as I don’t want my kids to see me in that state.

I couldn’t stand going to hospital in case

they filled me full of drugs, I am such a chicken.

Thanks Lyn this does help.

Love Sue.

Sue,

I forgot to mention, when I had my big attacks I did feel

like I was going to die. I wanted my hubby to take me to the ER, but felt

to embarassed to go.

You are not alone.

Love, Lynn

Re: panic

attack?

Hi Sue!

I'm sooooo sorry

to hear about your " episode " . (That's what I started calling

them). I get these attacks every so often, but have " mild " ones

EVERY DAY. It's HORRIBLE.

Mine started about

7 years after being implanted. After removal I have had one. This

past one happened on my plane ride home from my honeymoon. Talk about

embarrassing? ! We had to page the attendant. She brought about 8

bottles of water (I get suddenly thirsty). People next to me were really

scared b/c they didn't know what was wrong. They gave me blankets but I

wasn't cold. I just couldn't STOP shaking (It almost looked like I was

convulsing from a seizure, but was completely coherent). I went to the ER

about 1 1/2 years ago (about 3 in the morning) b/c of the same thing.

They didn't know what to do. They gave me muscle relaxers (which I did

NOT take), and told me to see a specialist in the morning! UGH!

I STILL don't know

what causes this. Only thing I can think of is my adrenal

problems...adrenali ne? Who knows. I just know it's debilitating

and tiring. My neck does not get stiff, but ALL of my joints tighten

up. My heart will start beating fast, and I usually have the runs

afterwards. SOOOOOO bizarre, I know.

You're NOT

alone! I don't know if this helps, but I hope that we can figure this out

together! My health insurance JUST kicked back in, and I plan to get to

the bottom of this ASAP!!!

Sorry again!

I'll be praying for you!

Hi All,

Just wanted to ask some advise.

I had a major panic attack today

(well I think it was)

For no reason at all I went really

really dizzy I couldn't stand up without falling to the side.

My neck was very tight and things

only subsided when I put a cold pad on my neck and lied down for about an hour.

It's not the first time this has

happened.

I was shaking like mad as though I

was freezing.

My friend has suggested I take

SEROXAT.

She has loads of the same symptoms

as me and has NEVER been near silicone, do you think my probs could be more

related to panic attacks than silicone?

Thanks for any replies.

Love Sue
