I went to the pool today and started getting itchy all over my body.... Then I started worrying well what's wrong with me?! Am I having an allergic reaction? What's going on? I tried so hard to talk myself out of it telling myself there is nothing wrong and that I am just thinking to much about things... And I got so worried about well now I'm nauseas... Then I started freaking out about that.... I am having such a hard time with this postive self talk.... I can't grip it at all.. Because everytime I get an uncomfortable feeling I think omg something must be wrong with me... I can't free my mind and I am getting sooooo depressed.. I had to take Benadryl for the itchiness and a xanex for the horrible panic attack.... Please I'm so desperate for some relief... I also think I am a hypochondriac?! Because I pretty much scan my body and any problem I find I dwell on it and think something serious is wrong with me..........

Hi Doodlebug,
I'm going through the same thing. I've been to the doctor and he told me i had high blood pressure. Well now I'm thinking the medicine is going to make my blood pressure get to low and that will be it. It's really a rough road but I believe we will get through it. You just hang in there and think positive.

Hang in there. You are right it is tough but living with PA is even tougher. God did not make us to live this life.
