Hi group :)
well... I am wondering a few things. Does anyone else around here have other symptoms that are supposedly not related to their panic disorder but that they feel are?
I have really irregular periods, like 5 - 6 months between sometimes, and I am 28. This is not normal... I have been to an endochronologist and numerous doctors who decided I have polycystic ovarian disease. Of course, according to them none of my other symptoms could possibly be related to this disease. So, now I an being treated with the orthoevra patch... but it is in the first few days of using that that my panic first came back(actually around 2 months ago... but I kept it together still until lately). I was able to control it until now...but I really feel like there is a pattern to my attacks that includes retaining ALOT of water, which contributes to the heart palpitations and stuff, which feeds into my anxiety etc. I really really feel like some of this stuff has physiological roots...there is even some study my mom was telling me about in which they had found a chromosomal abnomality in people with this problem. Maby I am just grasping at straws, I had a rough night and for some reason after a rough night I cant let go and feel normal... I have to be in a constant state of near panic... *whimper* I am so discouraged right now. I feel like crying... I felt so good last night... now I am feeling like i could freak out...maby a good cry will help...its weird, but sometimes making myself sneeze helps a little bit too :p bye for now... hopeing to hear about your experiences.
