Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 , Thanks for your kind words as well. I think yesterday's flare was a combo of things - my kids have been out of school all week and home with me, interrupting the nap I take daily to keep my anxiety at bay as well as my energy level up. We've done a lot more than I usually do - I space stuff out all week. The weather here (in Georgia) has been typical Georgia weather and there was a front coming in (we had t'storms around 2-3am). Right now I feel good. Tired because I got up at 4:30 am (yippee), but nothing is hurting and I plan to keep it that way....lol....we have an easy day, the kids are getting their hair cut, I'm working on laundry as I work thru my emails and plan to crochet like a wild woman when we get home. As for the asthma, etc., does your doc have you on any anti-anxiety meds? I take klonipin and zoloft (because I'm also blessed with a metabolic disorder and glucose intolerance, among other things). I am finding that taking the anti-anxiety meds allows me to take that extra second or two (sometimes, not always) to make a good decision about something regarding what is going on with my body - pain (inflammation), pain (overstrain), pain (fibro related) - did that make any sense? Then I can decide if any breakthru meds are needed or if a nap will do it....lol.... Anyhow, get the asthma thingie checked out. It adds to your anxiousness when you cannot draw a deep breath of air and don't know why! ((hugs)) Darlene > > Darlene thanyou for your response as I had just started myself getting anxiety over this, as it is so uncomfortable to not be able to get or at least feels like enogh air! I am almost certain though it is another cycle thing that has been going on this last yr, this and other symptoms. Because I have been pretty much house,couch bed bound so long I think it tonight just set the anxiety in, because I use to be so hyper active and feared,but caught myself thinking no activity, blood clot, but I have learned over the years to take control of that anxiety because I don't ever want to experince a panic attack again, they I can't handle. Thankyou so much for your concern and kind words. I hope tonight gives you relief to feel better tomm. Sharon > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
