Starting in january I started having health issues. First it started with a bad itch on my back...then I started forgetting things, then I started having fainting spells. Initially I assumed it was anxiety because I started having panic attacks when I thought I was going to faint again. So I ended up going to a psych hospital twice. My psychiatrist told me to get checked out medically because he felt it was something nonmental being that I never had anxiety attacks before. So I've been to the er numerous times and they have sent me home and only said hurry up and go to a neurologist. I ended up going to one and the first thing she said was oh anxiety. I said look lady, I went to medical school and I know that anxiety doesn't cause medical conditions. Medical conditions cause anxiety. Now I am to the point that I don't neccessarily have panic attacks, but my body tingles, joints ache, I'm very forgetful, and just stressed because I don't know what's going on. I'm being checked for thyroid issues, fibromyalgia, lupus, and ms because of my symptoms. I'm leaning towards ms because one alarming symptom is reoccuring urinary tract infections. My aunt think its fibromyalgia becuz she experienced the same thing when she was diagnosed with it. And my other aunt experienced the same thing when she found out she had lupus. Is anybody else experiencing this???? A lot of feedback appreciated.
