It is nice to know we aren't alone with anxiety. I think that is why I like this forum so much. I hate that we suffer, but at least we have each other. Have a good upcoming week. Hugs, Karen......
How did the rash look Rrakkma? Is it going away? I hope so. I am glad you looked. You faced your fear and won! Congratulations!!! Have a great rest of the day! Hugs, Karen......
That is nice Hibee, It is always nice to see family especially after not being able to for a long time. Happy for you! Today is the first day in three weeks that it hasn't been sweltering hot....
I agree with Rrakkma, another doctor and maybe some therapy to help you. Don't ever give up. Know this isn't the end of the world or even close. I am sure it isn't cancer. Though I know that is the...
Hey everybody, I hope you all are having a good day/night... Jamie I hope you are sleeping well. Cooler today. It has been a heat wave for about three weeks. Today it is tolerable. I hope to get out...
Hi Donna, Welcome to anxiety and panic forum. Anxiety can be tricky and can take your life away. Have you talked to your doctor? Maybe some therapy is in order. We all go. Look at the top of the page...
Hey Jamie, Glad to know you are a bit better. Keep hanging in there mate... Hugs, Karen......
I am so happy for you!!! It is like heaven to not have to deal with anxiety. I like a tea at night called "sleepy time". It has chamomile in it. It is nice at bed time, it does make you sleepy. Have...
I hate that feeling that comes over a person when they get anxiety. It is crippling. I think you are getting a grip on yours. Remember you have anxiety, it doesn't have you. Though I can't say that...
I am glad the pain is going away. I have heard of people getting shingles in their eyes. That must be horrible. Just be glad it is almost over. Whether you were able to look at it or not. Anxiety is...
Jamie, You mean a lot to me too. I hope things get better. Sometimes we might have to change our perspective to see things in a better light. Stay strong. Know we are here for you. We all love you......
Barbz, How are things going? I hope you are okay... Hugs, Karen......
Hi Tu Wang, I am so happy that the breathing exercises are helping. It stinks to have so many different things effecting the anxiety. But you got this, I can tell. You are going to succeed. Keep up...
Alright Trina, That is something I never have considered. Interesting question and thought provoking. Hugs, Karen......
HI Mike, I like it in the 70's. I don't tolerate heat well. I can handle low 80's but our temps have been in the 90's and 100's. I stay inside by the air conditioner. Hi Pitmom, I am sorry you missed...
Forever, The smallest dog I have had as an adult was a pit bull mix. She was brindle with pointed ears but the size of a pit bull. She was a sweet dog, real friendly disposition. I like Frenchies. I...
Thanks again Trina, you bring light to dark places. Mike, I am glad you mowed early. It is so hot here. Is it hot in Maine? Forever, I guess this is our new normal. Though I don't feel any of it is...
We all understand where you are coming from. 2020 hasn't been a good year at all. Not for any of us. I agree with Rrakkma, talk to your doctor or therapist, there are things you can do to feel better...
HI Oceanfisher58, I feel you. I am going through the same with anxiety. The best I can say is take it one day at a time. These are strange times. Things are unpredictable, things have changed and...
Thank you Trina for giving us something to think about. Hi Mike, I was beginning to wonder where you were. Hot here, I guess it is everywhere. Hugs to all!!! Karen......
Can you learn to take it one day at a time? With no expectations? Just see yourself as good friends. Kick back and see where it takes you? Can you talk to the guy about your anxiety issues? Maybe...
That is awesome Weary! I am happy for you. Hugs, Karen......
OH... Well in that case, I hope that the RA medication works well for you. Keep hanging in there. Hugs, Karen......
It can take six to eight weeks to reach full potential. I hope that the lexapro works for you. I took it for awhile, and it is good for anxiety and depression. Have a good day. Hugs, Karen... PS Good...
I haven't but it sounds like it is drying up. Cold sores are a form of herpes so there is more than sexual spreading. If it became hard, I would think it was drying up. Do you have anything like an...
Hi Forever, Luna is getting laser on her tail and I think it is helping. I will write more later. Hugs, Karen......
Just think how nice it will be to not feel anxiety. You can always stop the medication if it isn't right for you. I know how it is though. It is scary to start a new medication. But just imagine how...
I wonder if that Good Rx card would help me? I just thought about that. I will have to call the pharmacy. I use a certain brand of generic too. I tried a different brand and after one to two months I...
I don't think they will pay for it. I have been doing okay the way things are. If it is expensive there I imagine it is here too. It is all about the coin Jamie. Pharma and insurance companies. Hugs,...
Hi Polilla Rey, Welcome to the Anxiety and Panic support forum. If you check out the top thread, you will find resources which is very helpful. I think not wanting to do things is a sign of...
HI Madhuri, Welcome to the forum. Do you get dizzy whenever you lay down, or just when you are falling asleep? I use to get dizzy when I laid down or turned over. Mine was sinus. Sinus problems gave...
Hi UA!!! Good to see you!!! Hugs, Karen......
I know Tim Tam, but I think it is the price of the pristiq. Even with it being generic now, it is still pricy. I was going to try to buy the 50mg but can't afford it. But I do feel okay. I just have...
Hi Forever, Kathy, JD8505, Trina and Jamie... And anybody else that I missed... Was hot here today. Supposed to keep getting hotter each day. I am not good in cold but I am not good in heat either....
Wow, I didn't realize singulair would do that. I am glad you realized. So far it hasn't for me I don't think. I am glad you are feeling better. Things are good here, not doing much today. Went to the...
HI Tim Tam, The insurance company and some doctors say that 100mg is as good as it gets. That 150 (which I want) is no better than 100. I disagree. But am feeling okay at the moment. A big problem is...
Have you tried singulair? That is what I take and it helps a lot. I still have some problems with sinus but that is all. Though my sinuses give me migraines sometimes. I am able to take the over the...
He's been suffering from allergies lately. Dr. just called in his allergy pills. I haven't picked them up yet though. I hope it doesn't turn into bronchitis. His has been sneezing and runny nose. We...
Do you think maybe you need an increase in something? I know I need more but my insurance wont pay for more pristiq, so we have been trying to add another med but I haven't been able to tolerate side...
JD8505, My husband gets bronchitis very easily. He always has to do steroids and antibiotics when he gets it. Do they give you that for medication. It is hard to get him to slow down even when he is...
I see trails when under florescent lights. But that is the only time. Hugs, Karen......
HI Trina, Jamie and Forever!!! Hi Everybody... Trina you always have such cool links to share with us. I could even do the rocks. Something to think about. And I just sold all my rocks but there are...
I think the mindfulness helps me. Brings me back to the present. I just wonder why these thoughts have to come into my head to begin with. The mindfulness is such a helper to me. It is so important...
JD8505, I hope your father's cpap machine comes soon. That must be difficult for him. Keep hanging in there. Hugs, Karen......
I know how that goes Mad world84. My mother was a major stressor for me. I had to stop seeing her because of the negative effects it had on me. It is sad but it happens. We have to look out for our...
HI everybody, There seems to be so much going on with all of us. I just want to wish you all the best. Dreary here today but I think it is going to clear out this afternoon. Thank you for all the...
Interesting about NASA... Thanks for sharing... Hugs Karen......
Rrakkma, I honestly feel you have handled it real well. But yes, we all have to grieve for our loss too.. I think you have been very accepting as you remained friends and have been trying to help the...
I have worst case scenario thoughts. I try to put up a mental stop sign or try to think of something else. If that doesn't work I usually take a Xanax. Which helps some. But out of nowhere the...
She is a dog named Luna. And thank you. She gets stitches out hopefully tomorrow. Thanks, Hugs, Karen......
