Does anyone ever feel so ill they just don't want to go on. The last nine months have been hell for me so many symptoms that just don't go away. Every daya struggle from the moment i wake tingling stinging le gs and feet burning back from waist to neck Stomache problems the list goes on and on. Get checked at doctors and hosp all say can't find anything. Can anyone rela te to this.

Hello Dorsey

Many , many times have I felt this way , a horrible way to feel but it can feel like such a battle that having these thoughts I think are pretty normal

Unlike you I am to afraid to go and get tested for things I am worried about but I know if I was brave enough and they said everything was ok I would trust what they told me

Anxiety can give us all different physical symptoms and the more we are anxious the more we feel them , if you have the all clear from the medical profession and you can get any support with your anxiety that might be the way to go :-)

But you are not on your own with the way you feel :-)

Take Care x

Hi Dorsey,

I'm sorry to hear your sons sad news. I hope there is treatment for it.

Are you on meds? It might be worth trying them if not. Or trying to get in to see a councillor.

I have the same kind of issues but think I have indigestion. Could it not be that.

I have dizzy/light headed spells also.

No i don't think so i did have stomache problems but had colonoscopy and all good. Had a lot of stress and back burning gets worse everytime i get some bad news. Been to hosp doctors never any answers just started taking magnesium and finding they help antidepressants make me worse tried one f or a week thought i was dying and thank you.

Hi, sorry to hear you are not getting better. I have a bad back, so I get burning in my upper back. I have throbbing and twitching all over, I also wake up shaking. Been to the doc and the hospital, not one is telling me that my back is bad enough to be causing all this. They think I also have severe anxiety. I take Gabapentin 3 times a day, and still have to take Xanex. I do not think the Gabapentin is working. The burning in my back does seem to get worse with stress. Some days I feel debilitated where I feel like I can't do anything, I don't know if I can't or don't want to. I feel like the Xanex works better than the Gabapentin. I started doing Yoga to see if I can relieve some stress, I've been doing it for 3 weeks. I'll let you know if I get any burning relief from it.

I know, I've been trying to get answers for almost 2 years. All the doctors want to do is give me a pill. That's why I'm trying yoga, because I realized no doctor is going to fix me.

True me 2 and a half years can say i have not had one whole day where i feel just normal and it's not because i don't try i do. I get up and do chores i actually have too much energy it drtives me nut. Now i haved to cope with my son being diagnosed with ca ncer a nd i cant go and look after him as we live 4 hours away a nd i don't feel well enough to do it. I never k ow what symptom is going to strike next and tghink k cant even look after myself a nd do all the things i want to do. Even going to hairdressers is a battle and it shouldn't be.

I know how you feel, except I don't have the energy. It takes everything I have to do things. I don't ever feel like cooking, so I don't eat much. I'm so sorry about your son, I really hope you can muster the strength and energy to go see him. Even if it's just 1 day. People keep telling me to focus on the good things, and to be more positive. Not to focus on what's going on with me, the more attention I give my symptoms the more power they have over me.

Hope you feel better soon.
