Thank you. I did read the post under questions and answers about being nauseous with anxiety. When I have good days, I do notice I am not as tense nor nauseous. It really is amazing how your mind can put you in a panic just from thinking. I cannot wait to start my program tomorrow. I am very excited. I just want this anxiety to be gone. However, after joining the forum earlier today, I became much more relaxed with having anxiety knowing I am not alone and knowing this can be controlled. I will let you all know how I am doing after I start my program.

hi guys, I don't mean to butt in on this thread but I really know how you feel, catrisch. Last week I had a random heart palpitation (which is normal), but for some reason I have totally been focusing on it and have been in a huge state of panic ever since then. It is almost like I focus on it, my mind causes it to happen, and right when it happens, I get a horrible feeling of nervousness/anxiety in my stomach. I want to stop focusing on it but I'm so scared of something being wrong with my heart. I've had it checked out and everything looks ok but when it keeps happening I start to get scared.
I just want it to go away so I can focus on living again and be happy. I'm listening to the program over (it's been about a year and a half since I went through it), but it's so difficult this time. Before, all the thoughts were just in my head - I had panic attacks but my "what if" thinking never centered around my health. But when you have a scary symptom (and of course I had to symptom surf!) it's harder to ignore. I feel so lost.

Hello!
I just wanted to thank everyone for you & your posts, you all will never know how many people you help by posting.
The last few days I've had tingling, numbness in my legs, now it's most likely due to an old back injury, when the injury was fresh there was alot of nerve pain in my legs.
And when I haven't excersised or been really stressed(my hubbie is gone and have sick kid, just a little stressed) my muscles get weak and the pain can return very subtly.
So while in my head i'm sure it's minor, I still have been obsessing that I have MS, and then you look online and all the symptoms fit. and I don't recommend web md for anyone w/anxiety b/c we think we have it all, when in reality like mississippimama said, we're really fine.
It's just nice to be reminded, to calm down, relax, know we're not alone, we're not the only one who thinks this way.
It's such a relief. It's a reality check that only someone who really understands can give. Even though i've been at this for years now, from time to time I need to be refreshed and remember the basics of anxiety. Thanks for posting and listening everyone.....
