So does anyone else get rush of adrenaline while getting your haircut..or for the ladies doing your hair . My anxiety seems to rush up on me while sitting getting my hair done.. I literally have to fold my arms and control the feeling until I'm done . I was just wondering if others go through this type of anxiety...

Hi QUICH, Yes I'm just the same.

I have a young Girl that comes to my house to cut my hair . She works in the Hairdresser's that I used to go to ,But I had to stop going to the Hairdresser's because of my illness. Everytime that she comes here my nerves just go haywire. I don't know why ? because I've known her since she was a little Kid. She only lives down the road from me.

I either have to sit on my hands or keep my arms folded.I get such an adrenaline rush. My heart beats like the clappers.

But the thing is nobody can see it.

I've got 2 HEART VALVE'S that aren't working properly, but they can't find a Surgeon that would be prepared to do the Replacement.

I've got Chronic Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis. I've also got C.O.P.D, Asthma, 16 cm mixed Haitus Hernia, Umbilical Hernia, Uterine Prolapse

Ive had bones taken out of both my hands because of the Rheumatoid.

Now my Orthopaedic Surgeon wants to do a Complete Wrist Replacement, but my Pain Management Doctors have advised me not to have it done because she said that it was such a complicated procedure that isn't done very often. She said that I wouldn't stand the pain after having it done, because of the Fibromyalgia .In April the Gastrointerologist thought i had Pancreatic Cancer. I had an Enlarged Liver Blocked Bile Duct Cysts on the Pancreas and Gallstones

My Mum had Pancreatic Cancer and passed away 6 months after diagnosis, BLESS HER..

Apparently my Liver has gone down and my Bile Duct seems to be clear

I still have the Cyst on the Pancreas, also in the Kidney. I have to see the Anaesthetist on the 18th of this month because they said that the Gallbladder is causing a lot of issues as well.

When I go in Hospital the Doctors call me their Nightmare or Trouble.

No wonder my nerves are so bad with all this going on. Even to write a card out i go all to pieces. Anxiety, Depression and Chronic Illnesses are so debilitating.

And yet you can't see them.

I've been to Mindfulness, Acupuncture, had Depo Steroid Injection etc., but nothing helps..I'm so glad that I found this Site.

Sometimes it can make you feel even more depressed, but other times it really does help..Like Now. Thankyou 😚.
