I Need help

Hello! I`m 24 years old male from Finland. I`ve fought with anxiety for couple of years now. My main problem is my physical symptoms....I`ve had those a lot! And I`ve been going from doctor to doctor, because I`m always worried about having cancer, MS, ALS etc. I`ve been tested from "head to toe" during last year, and everything should be fine.

Ok. Now my main worry is MUSCLE TWITCHING, CRAMPING and PAIN. Of course I`m worried about ALS etc! Before these symptoms I had constant "pins and needles" sensations all over my body for 3 months. Those are gone now, thank God.

I`m trying to find peace with these sensations, and if I can throw fear away for a second I`m sure it`s just anxiety, but....

Please help if you can!

thanx

I like you used to worry about all the sicknesses.
I've had all tests, and they all came out ok... except for the sinus arrythmia. Pins and needles in the extremities is normal for anxiety and panic...

What kind of cramping and pain do you get when you're anxious ?

Where are they? That can happen as well when your anxious, pains in the chest, etc.

You just answered your own questions "I am sure it's just anxiety" Never EVER use BUT or WHAT IF's with anxiety, no need to second guess hon. I've dealt with the same. There are treatments for anxiety, have you ever gone to talk to someone?

Hi!

This cramping feeling is like my muscles (calves, hands) are tight, and they are about to cramp. This is not 24/7, but nearly. And I had pins and needles stuff everywhere! not only in the extremeties. I dont know anymore...

Muscles tension and anxiety it sounds like. Tingling/numbing like pins and needles can definatly be anixety related.

If you've had tests done for MS and everything else then it's likely just that. The more you think about it, or worry that it will happen it will, maybe try to talk yourself out of feeling pins and needles or muscles aches? If it goes away when you do not think about it, or when you talk to yourself, and tell yourself that It's anxiety and it'll pass then that is likely what it is. *hugs*

Well, I dont know how MS is tested? I`ve had done brain MRI 6months ago (I was sure about having a brain tumor).

Is that enough?[/url]

yeah they usually give you just a quick look over to see if you can walk a line without loosing your balance, and bend your feet or legs...


The reason why I have mine done was only to ease my mine because I kept getting the tingling in the face, and my uncle has severe MS.

Your fine.
