Thread:
Anxiety/especially health anxiety
I posted about a week ago about having a dizziness that lasted about 2 weeks. That has passed, finally and thankfully! But a real problem I deal with pretty much daily, is anxiety, mainly health anxiety. It's gotten worse over the years but lately it's been really bad. Could this be caused by TMS? I know TMS is more a pain symptom thing but I'm just wondering if TMS could be making me hold onto this anxiety all the time. It was especially bad this past week and yesterday and so far this morning. I jump from one illness to a next, sometimes months in between them but lately it's been one right after another. Right now the one I'm flipping out about is this ALS, which I'm sure everyone knows is big right now with the ice bucket challenges. I've worked myself into a panic pretty much. Not so much having it at this time, but worried about the future for myself, my husband, kids, parents etc. How do I work on this and get past it? Could it be TMS causing me to be so worried and stressed all the time?
