So I'm doing miles better and a lot of positive thinking and I feel 80% better accept now new symtoms are occurring I have had headaches for around 3 months really bad this month the worse last night was horrendous couldn't stand light was nearly sick and could barely walk I laid down on the couch and fell to sleep woke and my foot was ice cold and jelly no feeling what so ever when I put my leg on the floor I got the worse pins and needles and my leg collasped when I stood up and I fell to the ground 😯 this morning I awoke with the headache slightly there not pain as such can just still slightly feel it there if you know what I mean then now "new" symtoms of prickling in same side of head where the pain was and shivers in head and body kinda like cold shivers inside the body just don't want to break my positive thinking because I actually feel really better just back of my mind I have slight worry about a stroke/tumour does anybody else get shivers or head symtoms ?
Hello...I have a lot of pain and shivers in my head...I go really cold inside....nausea and feel spaced out...it is an awful feeling....I sometimes feel like I will fall over....it is Anxiety.... the dizziness is so unpleasant.....I try to hide it.....killing. Am trying loads of alternative therapies......
Meditation seems to help...I am following a post on here byTenyson...worth a go....seems to calm me the physical symptoms of the adrenaline rush are dreadful. Think u should see a doctor just to rule out any other causes.....Thinking of you
I hate hate hate the lightheaded dizziness I also think I'll fall over . been on sert 50mg 6week 75mg one week no luck yet
It's grim....Just when I think it's gone....it starts again...we will get thro it Rachel...and Steph... trying Tenysons technique....anything worth a go....xx
How does it go away !!! I'm getting sick of the meds not working and been upped doses to start all over again. I need my life back it feels like I'm stuck
I try all the alternative therapies.....meditation...got a book...Mindfulness finding peace in a Frantic World...by Mark Williams and Danny Penman...got me started....sort of explains how I got the anxiety in the first place.... take a vit b complex.....trying to do the visualization technique that Tenyson ...posts on here....but Blimey it's so hard.....I am much better...and I do know what you are suffering....horrendous......am with you on this....Hope you sleep well tonight......
I think I saw that is it the leave / step away from anxiety ? I did this and it helped although this is my break through from it all 😢 I feel anxiety is hitting hard again I now have like a stitch kinda pain in shoulder and starting in chest so can only imagine me having a big break down soon I will make sure to read that post again if it's the same one your on about xx
Hope you ok this morning....yep it's the right post.....keep trying........stand back if you can ...
Deep breath in and out and in and out....keep saying....I AM a lovely person well done me for trying to beat this.......thinking of you
Thankyou I went through a horrendous night but I did keep deep breathing and trying my best to control it I have stepped way from anxiety before and did not have it for 2 years so I'm sure I will again hopefully never had it this long but need to stay strong hope your ok xx
Hi there,
your posts jumped out at me as I seem to be suffering with very similar problems at the moment.
I started having panic attacks and suffering from depression around 5-6 months ago, went on, and quickly came off, Citalopram as they made me MUCH MUCH WORSE!
only meds ive been on last 8 weeks are propranolol and sometimes diazepam. I felt I was very slowly getting things together until around 3-4 weeks ago.
What I am having, mostly, is very strange itchy, kind of tingly feeling in my head, feels like ants running all around the inside of my skull!!! Very unnerving and last for a long time, is accompanied with terrible nausea, which also strangely feels like its coming more from the head than the stomach!
Then there are the little shakes and shivers from the neck up, as the feelings are so weird. I have previously had a CT scan as I knocked myself out in February....all came back ok. But GP has been less than helpful with this problem.
It is bringing back all the anxiety and depressive thoughts, I can be getting on with my business, the next minute I am bawling my eyes out for like 20 minutes. Nobody I explain this too really understands, I'm hoping you do and might have some advice for me?
Of course I am thinking the worst, as it feels so horrible and alien to me, just want to get back to normal!
Thanks for reading my novel x

Best of luck...
Keep going Steph...you'll get there.....
Yes I get the nausea too ! And again more form my head then my stomach isn't it weird I also have which comes on randomly a tight kinda feeling one side of temple no pain but I do get random pains in my head too I haven't had my head "checked" or a mri/ct scan but I can remember having these shivers in 2012 when my anxoety was bad but nothing like this because the shivers now run up my back and into my legs ect too I totally understand what you mean in nov/dec/Jan Anxiety put me into depression I was so depressed with my symtoms I cried all the time life was more of a job somehow I snapped out of it although I see I'm now going back down this path as you have had a mri ect though at least you know everything is ok have you tried cbt I know it doesn't make symtoms less but it does help with knowing somebody is there to support you xx
