Thankful for Support Through Anxiety Struggles

[InkedMama]

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to thank every one that has been with me and helped me through the highest anxiety time of my life. I have come to FINALLY except that what I have is benign. I have seen 2 doctors and 1 psychiatrist so 3 doctors. No Neuro, but I have not been referred to one b/c the doctors I have seen have told me there is no need. In saying that...I have seen my psychiatrist which again reconfirmed my diagnosis with GAD (General Anxiety Disorder), Hyperchondria (which I've always had) And PTSS (post traumatic Stress Syndrome) Whew, a whirl wind problems. At this time I feel I need to step away from this site a bit and focus on getting my nursery ready for my Little Girl that is on the way and spending time with my husband and family and no longer frantically searching the internet to get a diagnosis or to come over the top of my Doctors and their knowledge. At another point in my life when I know for certain that I can speak of this BFS and not relapse into fear I will return and help others as they have helped me...but for right now I need a break ! Hugs and PRAYERS to EVERYONE on this forum and your in my thoughts and we will make it through all of this day by day.I start seeing my Psychologist the 24th and I already know the first thing on her list is this "internet diagnosis" stuff that my OBGYN/GP/PSYCH has already told me about!!!!I will check back today for responses and I will definately keep those interested in my pregnancy posted via "PM" from time to time. God Bless you all...and again your in my prayers!!! "Time will Heal"..."I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens Me..."

Good luck with the remainder of your pregnancy and enjoy doing up your daughters nursery. This little bundle of joy will come in to your world soon - it's the best (ok maybe not the actual birthing process!). I've got 2 little boys one 4 the other 8 and they give me so much happiness.You're on the right track. Do whatever it takes to make yourself happy. Good luck and God bless.Maria

I am hoping to come to the same realization in less than a week. I have my first neurologist appointment ( although I have seen 4 doctors who all say that I am fine ) and I think if the report is good, I will be fine. I had accepted it but I brought it up to one of the GP's at my university's health center, and he refered me to a neurologist. He did not examine me, and said he didn't think that it was anything serious because of the length I have gone with fasciculations coupled with the fact that I function at the same level I did prior to the onset of fasciculations. He said it was merely for piece of mind. However, that, coupled with the fact that my great-aunt, who is 78, was diagnosed about a month ago with ALS, made my fear and anxiety and, as a result, my twitching much worse. I really want to move on with my life, and I hope that after the neurologist visit I can do just that.
