Re: How much of this might be psychological?

Rolma,
Turns out you may be right. I saw a new MDA Dr yesterday. She also agreed that it is anxiety. My MD just put me on an antianxiety med a few days ago for other symptoms. The MDA Dr said that it should help this also. I sure hope it does. I will let you know.

Suzi,

were you having the same symptoms? I find that the anxiety really gets bad if I have to go around someone on the street because I'm afraid of them bumping into me and also that I'll fall in front of them. My husband doesn't understand it, but then again, he doesn't have to deal with what we do on a daily basis.

Rolma,
Yes, same symptoms. I was a a convention this weekend and had stopped to talk to someone when they left I was left standing there not being able to move I saw a friend and called him over and asked him to help me get to a seat. Thank goodness he was there.
The new meds have helped already with less panic attacks and better sleep. The MD said I would see results in two and a half weeks But I saw results in a few days.
