YES, if you have some scary disease, the blood work would show something.

Jelly legs will carry you. they have carried each one of us for years.

This symptom, alone, is a common one for anxiety.

work on what is really bothering you. At the core............there is something

for now, just accept those jelly legs, know that they will carry you, and accept that you have anxiety , for now!

YEP! classic symptoms.

I had that and I HATED THEM. go to the search bar and put in key words about, legs, feeling faint, etc, and you can read dozens of back posts about this. It may give you the reassurance you need.

I have "jelly legs" every time my anxiety rears its ugly head. I had all the tests.. MRIs, CTs, blood work.. All ok. Those jelly legs will walk.. Skip.. Run.. Dance Just keep moving forward.

It's really common for us with anxiety to feel like our bodies aren't working right. The constant worry that comes with anxiety makes us fixiate on it. I had convinced myself I had all sorts of neurological disorders since my anxiety only flares and makes me feel this way every few years. I thought for sure there was something wrong with me when it first started happening and since at that time I hadn't been diagnosed with anxiety issues the doctors put me through a ton of tests.. If you have a counselor I would suggest discussing with him/her your fears and symptoms. Sometimes it helps to have a professional tell you the weirdness you are feeling is "normal". But I personally can tell you when my anxiety is bad.. I feel exactly what you are describing. I have learned through the years to keep walking through the weirdness instead of chasing it down the rabbit hole.

Anxiety can make you feel that way and more. Finding nothing wrong with you is kind of normal in these cases. You're blood cell count would come back abnormal especially white cell count. For me I know it's my anxiety making me feel the way I do. So I just ride it out, I made an appointment with my counselor, my stomach is in constant Stress, I need relief. I have no one to talk too, no one wants to hear it.
