My anxiety gets the best of me sometimes

I lied - I have one more thing to say. Psychological stress affects mitochondria. Literally: “Chronic stress exposure can lead to molecular and functional recalibrations among mitochondria.”

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5901654/ (Psychological Stress and Mitochondria: A Systematic Review)

Emotions affect every part of our body, down to the cellular level. Remember that. The good news is that any changes brought on by emotions can be reversed. The mind-body connection goes pretty damn deep. I don’t even refer to it as “TMS,” because it’s nothing more than a fact of nature that affects every single person on this planet to some degree (whether it means a twitching eye when you’re angry or injuries that won’t heal when you’re traumatized emotionally).

Here’s another good article that also goes into the cellular level. As you can see, chronic stress can make wounds heal less quickly or one more susceptible to viruses:

https://www.h-wave.com/blog/how-stress-affects-your-bodys-ability-to-heal/
Over time, these [stress] chemicals produce damaging effects on your body, like indigestion, nausea, heart palpitations, depression, anxiety, and other aches and pains. If you are injured or recovering from a surgery, it’s even worse–chronic stress is working constantly against you to make your immune system work less efficiently, and that wreaks havoc on your body’s ability to heal.
Now I will leave you be. :)

Well i had lower back pain and stomach pain for a supposed kidney infection and the doctor have me cipro I had a bad reaction after the third day.


At the moment I'm thinking my foot pain calves stiffness lower back stiffness my joints all crack when I roll my feet or wrists.i have dry eyes.

Um well I think I've ontl had two one week periods where I isn't have symptoms I think also I think it's how I got my dry eye syndrome.

My anxiety is so bad right now I cant sleep and my legs feel weak my heart is racing wtc.

What eases my symptoms is i guess not thinking about it but right now it's hard.

My biggest fear around floxing is that someone online I talked to said you can develop symptoms up to two years after taking it. They didn't start to have symptoms for a year and now they do. My biggest fear is it not getting better or maybe my symptoms are just anxiety related.

My doctor just thinks everything I have going on is anxiety she doesnt even try to help it seems she just chalks everything off as anxiety.
How are you doing now?? have you overcome this fear and the floxxing symptoms ?
