Anxiety causing Flu-like symptoms??

I'm new to this forum and will be starting the program again as soon as I get the cd/dvd version in the mail. I bought the tapes version in 1999, but no longer have anything to play them on! Plus my old workbook is all marked up. I started the program back then and got all the way through lesson 7, but never finished because I no longer had panic attacks. But, I still had depression symptoms, so I began taking Paxil in early 2001. Well, recently I decided it was time to reduce the dosage of it very slowly with the blessing of my doctor. Well, six months later the panic attacks are back, and I'm back to starting over with the program. Anyway, sometime back in 2001 or 02 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue. Now, reading all your posts, I'm wondering if they are caused by stress and anxiety? Wow, food for thought. Thanks for listening!
Take care,
Anne

Hi Holly,

I used to get these before my period. Now I get these just once a month. I have had a sore throat for about a week. It hurts so bad that I have been taking motrin and tylenol all day. I wonder if it has something to do with my hormones? I never had this prob till the last 2 months. I was 4 months post prego. I just feel tired and weak and so wiry?!

How about you?

I feel the same way missmoody. Iv ahd a sore throat for a week and than a flu for a few days. Today I was so weak and had a huge headache I could hardly get out of bed. I was so lightheaded. I know this has to do with depression. Iv been depressed lately and dont know how to control it. I feel like i dont have the skills to control it. I dont take any ssri's either and dont want to. I am hoping to see an herbalist soon to address my problems naturally

Hi Holly,

I am sooo sorry for getting back to you so late. My sister just had her baby a few days ago and it has been a whirlwind. I have been traveling to Dallas to see her. I just recently found this board. I have the Lucinda Basset tapes but I have not had the time to listen to them. You sound alot like me. I have sooo many issues w/ anxiety and depression. I always have since I was very young. I hate it.

Would you mind telling me a little about yourself? I think we have a lot of things in common and I would just like to know all the issues you have had. I dont have time to write anymore tonite b/c of my 6 month old. He is high maintenance. My 5 year old is high on the list too. It drives me crazy! I am not getting much sleep so I am sure the lack of sleep is not helping the anxiety and depression.

I look forward to reading about you and I will write you as soon as possible.
