MS has always been a big fear of mine too. I have had tests, but still sometimes worry over it. The last bout of multiple doc visits for me, I said (it was new doc for me), "what about MS?" He said one of the first things to start having problems if you have MS is your eyesight. I didn't have any si...

Great job, DebDeb! Positive thoughts and self-talk for the appt. You will be fine. You made this first big step, I am sure you can take it all the way through. God bless!

That's great, Chelsie! Great job!

Congrats! That's great! I just finished a weekend trip to Atlanta. I was anxious, but also had a good time. Now that I know what I am dealign with (thanks, program!), it's easier. I hope you enjoy your retreat. I live in Michigan, but I don't think there's a more beautiful collection of God's work t...

Hi there folks, I'm feeling anxious tonight and I need some positive words. Tomorrow, I'm flying from Detroit to Atlanta. Ordinarily, theis would not be a big deal, I have flown a lot over the years. BUT, this is my first flight since my anxiety and panic have gripped me. I have been to the ER 3 tim...

Ashlynn, another suggestion.... Have you seen a chiropractor? I went to seen one a few weeks ago. Xrays showed I had a sublaxation in my neck (basically, my neck is not straight which can put pressure on nerves). I don't really have heavy head symptoms, but my anxiety does give me tension headaches,...

Charlie Brown, you and I could be the same. Besides my tingling, etc., I have chest tightness, and worries on my swallowing. I also have asthma (since I was a kid). I do find that a .25 Xanax helps there. I have had all the same heart-related tests as you in the last 1 1/2 months and my heart is jus...
