im thirteen and i have all the symptoms you have. ive gotten alot of x-rays and MRI tests done, i took blood many times. all the doctors said it was anxiety, i just didnt believe them. but finally after two years dealing with my "anxiety" i considered that it probably is anxiety, so i read more about anxiety and i had all the symptoms. i never truly gave up the thought that there is something else is wrong with me, but hearing lucinda say, "we are obbsesive thinkers and we always assume the worst when nothing is wrong or we have one symptom of a desease and we believe we have that desease when really, your making the symptoms yourself."...that makes me feel better about it and puts my doubtful thought aside for a while. and when i try to go to sleep i just think so much my head hurts, but i just think of clouds or something relaxing while i breath slowly without thinking anithing. eventually i fall asleep.and every day gets easier. i hope this helps.

I have also been having the same problem, unable to sleep due to all the thoughts running through my head. I spoke to my Doctor and he is giving me a prescription for Ambien Time Release. Lack of sleep doesn't help my situation only 2 to 3 hrs a night. I am usually able to handle most things unless I am really tired and then I am not as strong. I usually really frown on taking anything, but in this case I feel there is too much going on not to. I plan on using it only when needed.

I went through the same gambit (sp)when I was younger. After all of the scans and tests, it was determined that was because of high blood pressure. I stopped using the nitro supplied by one Dr. and started paying attention to my blood pressure. Not sleeping is my biggest pet peeve. Nothing is more lonley than insomnia. You just watch the sky get lighter and lighter and think dang it. I think the program relaxation will help me alot
