Re: Do any of you with Fibro have an anxiety disorder?

It may feel like it but you aren't dying. Just falling apart . Ok, here are the symptoms you have that I also have or know of other fibro's having.

Headaches, some painful tingling but not too bad, dropping things, some stuttering, my chest pains are more like right uhder the collarbone area, shortness od breath, too cold, too hot, some times light headness, dry mouth and throat which probably causes the thistiness. Blurry vision for no apparent reason some of the time, anxiety, running into things, plus all my aches nd pains and sleep problems.
There is a post, one of the first you'll see, on this board about fibro symptoms. Find and read up on it. That ought to help better than anything any of us could really tell you about whether you have it or not.

Re: Do any of you with Fibro have an anxiety disorder?

hello cmsaint, i suffer from GAD and have fibro, i also have some of the symptoms you have too. i just turned 30 and have 2 kiddos and one on the way. its though when you have kids and you feel like we do, huh?
thats good that your doc is sending you to a specialist so that way they can make sure what you have and you can hopefully start a program and get to feeling better.
goodluck and keep us posted,
robin

Re: Do any of you with Fibro have an anxiety disorder?

hello cmsaint, i suffer from GAD, Social phobia, panic disorders of several kinds and also have fibro. We share many many common symptoms. Im only almost 22 and have no kids except my 4 cats wich are a handful. I hope the specialist gives you some insite that you need and you have the faith to keep going if this one doesnt.

God bless you.

Kitten

Re: Do any of you with Fibro have an anxiety disorder?

I have many of your symptoms also. I also suggest that you read the post on fms symptoms because there are so many. I also have chronic myofascial pain, cmp which intially pinched nerves and caused pain and numbness.

I take xanax for anxiety disorder which is well controlled.

I don't know what GAD is.

Take care and keep the faith,

Donna
