Hey Raven,
I had been wondering if you were doing okay when I saw your post in the Artist's Way thread about not being able to join in right now because of having so much on your plate. Hugs to you with all that you're going through.
Ya know, back before I started posting here I was suffering from a frightening set of symptoms; paralysis of the hands and legs. It would come on and I would be completely incapable of walking or using my hands for anything. During bad attacks I would scoot around the house on my butt and pick up whatever clutter was lying around by using my teeth! Have to clean ya know!! LOL!! Yes, I am a junkie! :-)
Anyway, last week, my hubby made note of the fact that my hands and legs have been working pretty well so far. He and I both think it has to do with finally coming out from the silence.
Anyhoo...is it possible that with all the stress of your mom and the grief over your friend Julie and the stress of your job (I'm sure it's not easy doing what you do) and also with issues with your son; maybe your mind is saying "Okay! That's enough!!! Stop right there!!!" and is sending messages to your brain to fixate on this or that.
Not saying your attacks aren't real - honest. Anxiety Attacks are frightening from what I understand but it could be that your body is trying to tell you that you need to ease up on yourself.
As for home remedies, is it possible that you might need extra Melatonin? Also for relaxation - Bancha Twig tea is wonderful. Uhmmm....I will warn you though, it ain't the best tasting stuff!
You can PM me anytime ya know. I'm always hanging around.
One last thing which I find quite humorous. One day during one of my attacks, I drug myself into the ER by using a wheelchair as a tool to move myself along. The docs could find nothing wrong with me. One of them said, "You need a psych consult"
LOL! I said to him, "Been there, dude. Done that! almost wrote a book!" Big wide grin!
Keep posting Raven. We love ya lots!!!
One last thing. I have to give Stinky_Kitty a massive hug. (((((Stinky_Kitty))))). Because along with Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Pituatary Gland Tumor, and some other stuff that the docs thought I had during my paralysis attacks; one of the docs thought I had Celiac and put me on this frigging diet from hell.
Just in case anyone is wondering. THE CELIAC DIET IS THE WORST ON THE PLANET!! YUCK, YUCK AND DOUBLE YUCK!! My sympathies to Stinky_Kitty!
Hugs everybody!
Janey
