So fed up with hospitals and doctors

[Funkyfaerie]

Hi Everyone,

I have been struggling for over five years with terrible muscle tension in my neck and jaw and shoulders, and my back. Burning g weird feelings in my arms and legs sometimes. Nausea, weird sick panicky feeling when I need a bm. Sweating, shaking, lightheadedness, ringing in my ears.

All pretty much anxiety I know, but these feel so bad it's ruining my life. I feel like I'm just existing.

I had my second appointment with a Neurologist Friday, who tap me all over and made me do a few things, and just prescribed Gabamentin (spelling?).

I have had brain scan, endoscopy, you name it, all back clear.

But I just can't get out of this rut. I don't want to go to bed, cos it means I have to wake up and face another day.

I don't take any drugs, only the odd anti nausea tablet.

Can anyone give me some advice please, or suffer the same way. I have so had enough!

Oh yes I've had all of these and still do. I'm terrified i have something bad can't enjoy my life either. Does it effect your legs.

[Funkyfaerie in reply to Dorsey]

Yes it does Dorsey, today my legs were burning, tingling, shaky, hard to explain it. Sometimes my arms feel the same. I have woken in the night feeling this....I can only imagine it's tension in the surrounding muscles, as I am tense 24/7. All this sick aching in my back etc, upsets my stomach, I feel as though I have a big ball of air in there and it makes me panic, like I can't breathe or need to burp or something. All things symptoms and more pop up at some point every day, and if I have a good day, I then get disappointed by a bad day, then I just want to give up!

This might make you smile and feel better.

I just copied your symptoms and sent them on a text to myself, so when I am freaking out I can read it and reassure myself that I'm not the only one and we are both still alive

Just wondering if you want to be penpals and pm me, maybe we could help each other.....Take care xx

[Funkyfaerie in reply to Dorsey]

Think I've just managed to pm you.

Yes maybe you could have an Cray of your lower back in case it's a nerve thing. I've had my whole spine xrayed. To be honest I don't think they'll find anything. I think it's muscle tension gone crazy. xx
