Can Stress Be Doing This??

Thanks for the post!!

Well, i've been away twice in the past 2 months, and haven't felt any better. I think what changed me before is when I went away, I was able to relax.

I was taking b12 for over 2 months, and got nothing from it. I've been taking more vitamin c, b-complex, as well as b12 over the past few days. I'm going to give it a while, and see how things go.

Just ranting here....



God this sucks!!!!

I know that this is stress and axiety!! How can someone feel better, when they go away, yet when they go away again, and wait every minute to hopefully feel better,
they don't?

It makes perfect sense!!! When I was in florida, I was truely able to relax, and not think of a darn thing... But the vacation I just took for 5 days, all I could think about
was "when is this going to end?" no wonder I didn't feel any better!

I'm not sure what to do. I'm looking into yoga, or tai chi... I need to do something to help relax myself.

I just want my life back!!

I'm not depressed!! I want to be out with friends. I want to workout. I want to go places, do things, be around people, have fun!!!!... But i'm so tired, that it brings me down.

My neck is always sore, the pain in my right lat muscle is always there, sometimes stingings. My lymph nodes haven't been swollen for weeks, but they were never tender, or sore... Not once!!!

I just want my energy back, so I can start having fun again, and losing weight!!!

Thanks for listen :)

Doing any better??

Nope.

Well, yesterday I had my pulminary appt. He asked me alot of questions, more than I thought, and determined that my lungs are fine, he can here a great amount of air flow. He ordered a pulminary test just incase, but that's not for another few weeks. He want's my primary care to run more blood work on stuff that hasn't been checked yet. I have an appt with my primary care next week, and i'm going to try and get blood work done then.

My "other" doctor, wants me to continue taking the effexor for another 2 weeks @ 75mg. If in 2 weeks, I don't feel better, he wants me to up the dosage to 150 daily. I'm hesitant on doing this. If in 5 weeks, 75mg hasn't made me feel any better, would increasing the dosage really do anything?

I think i'm going to wait for the results of my blood work, before increasing to 150.

My big yearly vacation is in a 8 days. I'll be gone for 8 days, away at the beach. I always relax when i'm there. I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope this helps my recovery for whatever is wrong.

I have't had any other symptoms other than what was mentioned. Sore stiff neck, fatigue/lack of energy all day, and a unexplained right lat muscle soreness.

I have been able to walk in the evenings, and at a pace that could almost be considered joging. We'll see how this continues to help.

Have fun on your trip I hope they find what is causing it soon.

Hi there,


i know about some products 100% naturals which can reliefs anxiety/stress? Without taken medication which can cause secondary side effects, they have helped a lot of people. If you would like to try it, I am very sure it can help you.

Remember you have nothing to loose.

I have had anxiety and stress for many years, like about 20. I am on paxil cr and it doesn't do much of anything. Although, when I tried to get off of it, I did feel worse. My problems are panic attacks which are a side affect of the stress. I am not under any stress and never have been, but, it's there. My symptoms are pretty much like yours except for the swollen glands. The hands and feet tingle, I get very hot and cold at the same time. I sweat like a pig and almost faint. The eyesight gets very dim almost like blind. It's terrifying to go through. I can tell every time when it's about to happen. You think you are going crazy or dying. I have lived with this for over 20 years. I just found out today, to start taking magnisium. I'm going to a health food store tomorrow. There are many natural things to take that will hopefully take care of the problem. The paxil cr I have been on for over 10 is 25 mg. I started out like you with 12.5 and that didn't help, but, neither does the 25mg. I too, like you am at a lose, so i'm going to try the naturals. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the post, and good luck to you too!

My sypmtoms are slightly different in that, they don't come on, they're always there. I've never had the tingling in the hands in feet.

I'm looking forward to what the blood work will say on this next round.

I am not big on taking antidepressants for anxiety/stress. In some cases you need to function, but they only treat the symptoms and not the cause. I am always amazed at docs who know that a lower dose is not working, they just double the dose and hope that works. They are very addictive. Try coming off an antidepressant..Brutal. I have never taken one myself, so I am no expert, but I have a family member who has taken them for many years. She has never made any progress against what is really causing the stress. Again, sometimes you just have to take an antidepressant to function, but treat the underlying cause so at least you can stay on them only a short time. Anyway if you are feeling stress/anxiety try eft (emotional freedom technique). This is tapping on accupressure points while verbalizing stresses in your life. It is free to learn. Go to website www.Emo-free.Com. I think that is it. Anyway if not, google it or google the founder of this technique, gary craig. This will treat the underlying cause and hopefully, you can live a better quality of life minus the stress/anxiety. Eft is easy to learn and I encourage anyone that trys it, to stay persistant. It will deliver results against stress/anxiety. You don't have to have your life dominated by these negative thoughts. Good luck

Well, saw my doctor today. I'm getting blood work done for lyme disease. I'm also going to have a sleep study done as well here in the next couple of weeks. I have my next doctors appt when I get back from my 8 day vacation, and it just happens to be on my birthday. Maybe... Just maybe, on that day, I here some good news. I do have a lot of the symptoms of lyme, but it still doesn't fit with why I felt better being on vacation 4 months ago.

Ah well, one more thing to rule out. I'll report back then. I hope this birthday brings great news!

How.Areyou?

I don't want to sound like a commercial, but medical information on the internet is sometimes, as my grandkids would say, sketchy. Take a look at something a friend told me about http://www.Healthsiteguide.Com.< /a> They call it a free portal to pre-searched direct links to medical info, videos, animations drug info and more found on many of today's leading health sites. ( irecognized a lot of the names) it's a one stop source and when I joined for free I was also able to read current news on diabetes, back pain, vision and other concerns. There's a lot more, and while I have my share of illness, I don't have all of them, so I didn't study everything on the site, just what I needed to... Anyway, fast access to thorough info is important to me, so try this portal if you'd like and if it helps tell someone else who may need it. Good luck and remember to take care of yourself...

Find out what it is yet??

Sadly no. The lyme report was negative.

I had my sleep study last night, and the tech said I sleep well. But, I won't know the full report until I see my doctor. I have my pulonary test tomorrow in the chamber. My doctor said my last was also way below what it should be. Which... She believes is causing the fatigue, because I cannot get enough out my lungs when exhaling.

Thanks for checking up!

Im really curious what it is and I really wanna help! Ill check back with u soon! Take care. :)

Well, the pulmonary test was today. The tech said I did very well, and sometimes well above average. He said that my lungs are in great condition, which is great, but still doesn't answer my question.

I'm starting to really wonder now, if this was all stress/axiety related... That has lead to cronic fatigue syndrome. Only time will tell. I can honestly say though, i'm tired of all the testing, and doctors visits. I think i'm going to give this 1 more month of tests, then just let it be. I can only handle so much, and i'm missing so much work.
