OK,
i have had internal shaking, but this new thing is strange. The side of my body from the waist up and few inches gets like a rush, tingle sensation. Is it from exercising or is it the buzzing thing you all talk about? I instantly then feel wiggly in my legs and pretty much go into panic mode. Maybe it's a pulled muscle and that's how it's reacting, but it is strange. My anxiety has been quite high so it could be that as well. Let me know if you can , please. Thanks

I have had this tingling feeling,it is almost lie a little rush of feeling.I think it is anxiety related.Try not to worry.GOD-bless

Thanks, i id trythe xanax and it seems to calm down. I just need to rewire my brain to remembering that. it seems my nerve endings are overreacting to any bodily sensation these days. i have have so many tests over the last two years, that I should be calm, cool and collected and all my doctors try to reassure me I am fine. this is a rough stage, that yes, we will get through with the help of each other. What our poor grandmothers and mothers went through without help a nd support like this. No wonder so many women had "nervous breakdowns".

Enough,

Sounds like anxiety to me too. Have you ever felt like you had a cell phone set on vibrate, sort of internal vibrations? I had them, talk about weird! I had them in my abdomen and actually started looking for the cell phone, I thought I must had set it down on my stomach!! But no!! It wasn't there!

I was going to ask, as I can't remember, have you or do you take an anti depressant? Sometimes all these awful anxiety symptoms we feel are from seratonin deficiency (and YES it is a REAL physical ailment!!) and the anti depressants will take the anxiety away. It sure did help me.

If anyone had asked me,I would have described what I felt as a physical problem not a mental problem. I just felt WRONG!! I knew there was something going on inside my body that just wasn't right and wasn't normal. Do you feel that way??

Hi Floater,
Yes, i think my mind is fine, except for constantly thinking I am ill and know I am not. I am trying the xanax. i have been told over and over by every doctor to try it at least twice a day for a week and then see where I am, and we will reevaluate. Well, being a nervous nelly, I try about 2-3 days and then down to one and try not to take any. It works sometimes, but not always. All summer I barley took any, really 3 months and now, boom. Maybe because my oldest daughter moved into a large city for the first time in Sept. and the second is in an apt for college 5 hours away in a big city and the third is a senior getting ready for college. Work slowed down dramatically and I feel so guilty about that. So, having let that out, I guess I ned to readjust everything.

the vibrating was just like a cell phone, a quick buzz then over. i tried the l-theanine too and usually it helps, but lately, I dont' know. I feel like I am weak and should be able to buck up and get a handle on this. I have never been like this until it all started two years ago. Always nervous, but never a panic attack until the week before my dad died. Ever since that and the kids leaving it's been rough.

I just want to be happy again. I mean, I am basically happy, I just want to feel like me again and not be worried about every sensation.

thanks for listening.

Enough,

You are being WAY too hard on yourself!!! You feel weak?? You feel you should "buck up"?? That is crazy talk!! You aren't weak, you have a physical imbalance in your body. You also had to face the death of a parent, and kids leaving home and moving far away. Man, give yourself a break, darlin!! No wonder you are having anxiety, your life as you have known it has totally changed AND you are in peri/meno. At a time when we can handle the LEAST, we are expected to handle the MOST!! I find stress always makes things more difficult.

Maybe you should just take the Xanax for a week, as suggested, and keep it up for the entire time. Stop trying to be a hero, and telling yourself you should be able to get thru this on your own. You are adding to your stress!! I know you would never treat another person going thru what you are, the way you are treating yourself. Would you tell another PS sister who was suffering from anxiety to "buck up" and stop being so weak???? You would NOT! I know, I have read plenty of your posts. So show yourself the same compassion as you do to the rest of us.

So, be kind to yourself. No more trying to be a superhero. Treat yourself as you would treat others. We all need gentle care, and there should be no guilt attached to it. This is what we require to be well. And you deserve it!!

Thanks so much for your wonderful advice. You put a smile on my face, really, just sitting here reading this made me so happy. I will try to be better at treating myself the way I should. After all, if I want ot be there for my daughter and hubby, I need to do what it takes to get there. I also am starting a new business with my fried that already have a business with and really want it to work so I need to be at the top of my game.


Once again, thanks so much for alwys being the voice of reason.

I wish you well too.

Hi 'enough'

You should really listen to Floater.She is one wise lady.We all need help now and again and it is not forever.So take your Xanax as needed.It was manufactured for a reason and not to torture people

Good luck to with your new business venture.Sounds like fun.What kind of business is it?

Warm Wishes
Elizabeth

I thank you for your answers. I exercised today and it helped for a while. tool a .25 mg of xanax at 10 and will probably do another at 4 just to take the edge off. Then, maybe tomorrow will be a one dayer. I am trying hard to buck up, but maybe, this time around I will try a solid week of twice a day just restore order and balance.

My good thoughts and health are going out to you all.

Enough...

I have the same things as you it seems.. vibrating in feet and arms, and the wiggly feelings.. like things crawling under my skin.. calves are the worst!! I also get the night sleep jerks .. my stomach or arm-leg will just jerk!! Is this all peri things.. yikes..

Thanks!
