I have had really bad panic attacks lately, where I feel like im going to die, I have restless legs, tension in my forearm, joint pains, night body her ks as I'm falling asleep, slight muscle twitchs but not bad. Some abdominal discomfort, and back pain, neither is consistent.

Hi. Read your list and, No, you're not alone. I've endured most of what you're experiencing and gave them no thought as I put them down to med side affects and anxiety. I joked about when my left arm felt a little odd and that I was in the throws of a heart attack and on top of that, my shoulders and neck used to ache and stiffen like no one's business. Re the twitching, again it's down to meds, but they're merely exacerbating what I've always had when I feel tired.

You mentioned stomach problems and again I can only suggest my own experience - stress coupled with anxiety.

I was into my late thirties when stress followed by anxiety entered my life. Work was a major contributor in so far as I thought it (work), was stifling, corrupt and always held an undercurrent of manipulation and bullying. I was feeling defeated and saddened by it all. I never stood for it, but years and close on two decades later, I am where I am.

Someone posted about the child inside you and the first thing I thought about was Kate Bush's song and it made me think of when I was a young man who had no cares and was keen to fall in love and had the energy for life and what it flung at you.

I know I'm rambling so I'll call a halt.

Keep well and do keep posting.
