I've been not doing well in the last few weeks, anxiety is through the roof, depression is bad and my pills have quit working for me. (remeron) I have yet to have an appt with my psychiatrist, and she's sick right now.
The last few days i've been getting tingling/numbing/pin & needle feelings in my extremities, mainly face..sometimes right arm and hand. Has anyone had this type of thing with their anxiety? i'm at my wits end, and the way that i've been feeling lately i'm thinking up the worse case scenerio, being it's fatal. That is likely not the case... but just been not feeling good. __________________  |

hi, I think it's a pretty standard symptom of anxiety. Sorry you are hurting so much. It is good to see your pdoc, and are you current on physical exam? I get numbness and tingling etc with migranes. Also get aphasia, scarey. Lucky those don't occur often anymore. Good luck.

I suffer from migraines as well, but they are sinus migraines and don't get the tingling from it.
I had a pap recently but not a physical. My mom is going to try and get a hold of my family doctor for me tomorrow since i've had no luck. If it wasn't for her trying to get a hold of him I doubt i'd keep trying. I'm about 99% sure that it is anxiety related because since my meds stopped working my anxiety has been up and it just started happening a few days ago.. It's off and on and it's not constant. Only when I sit back and think about it is when it comes back. I just feel like crap. I hope I can get a drive for my Friday appt. I can't go on like this for another week or two.. I am so frustrated!!!!!

Anxiety is still high, higher then depression believe it or not which is a first, I wrote abit about what's been going on in the other thread (drug questions) because I didn't know where to put it.
Still feel like crap though..... Also my Psychiatrist wanted me to re-read the book Don't Panic, do more breathing exercises, and start up yoga.. becaues right now i'm letting the anxiety take over to where I am panicking. I haven't panicked so much since I was like 16 years old or so....  Makes me sad. I was doing so well with this, I posted that awsome post about how I over came anxiety, and now this happens....

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Sundance}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Yes, the tingling sensations are normal when anxiety is high. That's how mine started. The right side of my face tingled. I had just buried my mom a week previous so I thought I was having a fatal stroke just like she did. Twenty five years later, I'm still here and doing almost just fine.
When your meds stop working, it's time to hit the books and/or remember what you did before. Don't feel bad about it coming back. We've all be through it before so we understand. It'll control you for a while and then you'll be able to get IT back under control. Get in to your T as soon as you can and if you haven't been checked physically, do that, too, just to set your mind at ease. Hang in there! You'll be okay. __________________ Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |

I have been to see my Psychiatrist, yesturday morning, but she still wants to do blood work, check the thyroid etc.
I don't even know where the thyroid is located? I'm going to get my mom to call up my family doctor and get me an appt for the middle of next week. Sun FINALLYcame out today, right when I saw it I had to get out and stand outside, i've been craving it for over a week. Hopefully i'll get out and go for a hike today...over a week with no sun and suffering from SAD isn't fun.... __________________ |
