I often get achy muscles. That is why the relaxation CD works so great because it helps untense your muscles as you slow down your breathing. I've had the "shakes" before as well. When I am really nervous. But most of my common symptoms of anxiety are headaches, cold sweaty hands, and stiffness in my jaw and throat area.

Hey Eddyj!!!
I can always count on you for a practical and useful response!!! (smile) I will get a cd today. Also my therapist recommended that I go see a Homopathetic Doctor (sorry if the I spelled that wrong). When I called this dr office they told me that the visit would cost $340.00 for an hour and half of time. She would be doing a complete makeup of my body. Have you heard about anything like this? Is it worth it?

Hey Madi,
I am not sure what a homeopathic Doctor does, but for 340$ for an hour and a half they better make dinner for you and prepare your taxes at the same time
References are great but also do some research on it as well. Why is it that you were recommended one? If you feel it will help you than go for it Regardless what you decide you will feel great knowing you are doing your own search and making your own decisions for what you feel is right for you.
Also do not be deterred if you have to check out a few different ones before you find the right doctor for you. That alone can cause anxiety but it is worth it. Your health comes first. I myself went to various therapist till I found the one that really clicked with me.
How are you doing with the relaxation?

EddyJ:
You made me laugh on the comment of the dr charging $340.00. When I made mention of this to some of my friends they think it crazy that someone would charge that month. My therapist recommended this person because she felt like I needed to get natural products into my body.
I did get the CD for relaxation so I will try it tonight. I am going to find another dr so I can get a complete physical with all of the blood test that needs to be done. I am suppose to start a new job soon in another state and I want to find out what is going on with me before I leave. Thanks again!!!!

Hey Madi,
That is fantastic how has the relaxation cd worked? Great idea about the physical, get some facts about your health so you are not sitting there worrying. Very great approach. You should be very proud of yourself.
New job and in another state! That is so cool! You seem very excited about it thats so great.
Have you noticed any changes in the last few days?

I had some tingling in my left leg but that stopped last night. Today just feel the muscles in my left side of my chest and few muscle movement near my heart, some heart paps, but dealing with it. I am looking forward to getting the program. I have been on the chat room a lot this past weekend. Some interesting stories, but a lot of support in chatroom. How are things with you?

Hey madi,
I have had a great day. I worked over night last night 9pm-8am and it is a great way for me to practice. Because I had about 7 hours where I had no one to talk too. Just me and my thoughts for 7 hours, and I did not drive myself crazy haha.
Today has been a relaxing day with the family, and I am sticking to my schedule to make sure I am still productive and less anxious. However most of my schedule today said relaxation on it, so I am really enjoying it. Tomorrow I start lesson 14!

Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but Madimac I was referred to an "nationally-recognized anxiety disorder specialist" last year. The appointment was for 90 minutes as well and cost $500, none of which was covered by insurance. I did it only on the advice of my current counselor.
What did I get out of it? A $500 bill and very little else. Most of the appointment was spent recounting my symptoms and the progression of my anxiety over time. I left with only a list of a few new meds to try, only a few of which I could try. I can only tolerate very few of them and what I'm taking now seems to be the best I can do.
I'm not trying to steer you away from seeing this natural specialist, I'm only suggesting that you do some research to make sure you get what your paying for. Get some references and reviews, especially from someone who is was not totally satisfied so you can get a full view of what to expect.
Good luck (and Eddy, I agree with the taxes but I'd never eat dinner made by someone with access to lots of free samples of medications, LOL!)
