Yes! And having Fibromyalgia and all the sh*t that goes with that, I am always wondering,...is this new pain something different and dangerous or "just" part of the sh*t show that is FM.
Can you pls reply.... actually I'm having pain in my leg hand ribs and back and so many other places......is it fibromyalgia? Like I went to a doctor and he totally ignored me....and I'm having this mild pain constantly for 2 months now....please reply..... Where fibromyalgia cause pain in nerve/muscle/bone where?
@@তনিমা-প৭ম I'm not a doctor. I've been misdiagnosed for real countless times. Your issues could be but I can't say. You have to find another doctor. Good luck. Doctors are very clueless.
Your channel has helped me so much to find peace within myself. I am on a long journey with health anxiety. You answer literally all the questions that race through my mind. You're doing such important work!
thank you for having this channel. i've been dealing with health anxiety on and off for the last 5-6 years, and it's recently spiked so badly that i've been losing sleep. but everything you have to say has been helping me so much.
I been dealing with a lot of stress and health anxiety and for two months been dealing jaw and neck pain and was told it’s tmj and got ultrasound done was told everything came back normal. My anxiety is just not accepting those results and now my jaw hurts more and keep being told it’s my stress.
Absolutely brilliant Cherelle..you have nailed this beautifully..you have been such a Godsend for me.. Ive found your strategy to sit with symptoms for 2 weeks absolutely brilliant..it is actually advice that a specialist Health Anxiety psychiatrist also suggests..he said we need to say (when a symptom comes up) "so what" and then go out and live and enjoy your life regardless of that uncertainty. So this has set me free and bought so much peace. The same psychiatrist said also we need to deal with that fear of dying by having that so what attitude..and I found that helpful too because then it helps me to let go and pretty much then live each moment as if it was my last and find joy and peace in that. It has also taught me to be thankful for each day and finding more joy in each waking moment 🙏.
The symptoms are for real!! I've been going through like numbness, weakness tingling and burning in all 4 limbs which is worse at night or after waking up.. these symptoms keep showing throughout the day.. shown it to 6-7 doctors, did an MRI which showed pinched nerves in 2 places to which 3 of them said avoid biking, sports and focus on physiotherapy & the other 3 doctors among them is a renowned neuro (said everything including MRI is normal) and can continue with your daily activities.. but symptoms do persists and anxiety too..
That’s one of the problems with checking as a safety behaviour. I am convinced that most of my symptoms either appeared or got worse because of my checking: i had swollen lymph node after a vaccine (as expected) and made my neck so sore and tight by checking that I developed a globus sensation and dizziness for months. I made my leg sore ones when I found a lump (it was some blind pimple), I’ve had every single part of my body affected at this stage and my focus on this body part and checking makes it so much worse. Im done with this now, can’t do it anymore.
I’m not usually one to comment on videos but I JUST wanna say. THANKK YOU SO MUCH for this. I’ve dealt with health anxiety for almost 3 years now and I relate so much to this. Absolutely love your videos❤anxiety is absolutely frustrating I swear.
I'm crying right now. Thank you for this, from the bottom of my heart. I've been having bad tingling in my scalp and my face for more than a week now and I have a MRI planned but I am so scared to do it. I have bad health anxiety but I am also scared to see the results of that test so I postpone it all the time (anxiety is so real). I had this symptom in the past but this time it is worse than usual. The tingling happened in my right arm last year but now it's in my scalp mostly and it is the most annoying feeling ever. I was also really stressed lately so I don't know if this could be a rebound effect from it. It is always hard to tell. Anyways, finding your channel has helped me calm down a bit, thank you for that.
@@Magirl-xq4hr of course. We’re in this together and we don’t have to suffer alone. Right now (this is a new one) it feels almost like a tension headache? Like my forehead is inflamed or something but there’s no pain. It’s weird. So of course now I’m thinking I have an aneurysm or blood clot lol or something crazy meanwhile I’m a healthy 33 year old. I think it’s mainly just anxiety but any input?
Forsake all worries of the past. If a man marvels at his own shadow, the light is not in front of him. The anxious dwell on times in which they have stumbled, and are held captive by a dense fog where no steps can be seen. Walk by faith, knowing your foot will be met with land. For the end of fog is to be found in any direction. Holding no fear of unseen ground, you shall behold the sky
fantastic video. you are such a comfort to me, thank you so much for all you do. you are out here bringing comfort to people who feel absolutely awful, you are a light in the darkness!
Love love your videos. So much to learn from you and i really thank you so much you have helped me a lot to deal with health anxiety and to live a better life.
Hello, do you have any experience with anxiety where you feel like you can’t breathe or catch enough air and you often feel like it’s suffocation or drowning. I’ve been to doctors a few times and I went to A&E and got an X-ray done, ECG and blood tests. The doctors tell me that physically I’m fine but yet I still continue to feel the breathlessness and often feel like it’s getting worse. I keep trying to take deep breaths through my mouth all the time and struggle to do that. Please help me, please. Thank you.
That’s where I am. What if this time LOL and each time it’s been a result of my anxiety. No you can be 100% certain. If it was brought on from health anxiety then it’s anxiety and until the fear goes away nothing goes away
For ages I believed that it was just anxiety. Now I'm not sure. I have 3 days of feeling not so anxious, but then symptoms came back and worse. All of a suddeng my hearing just went in my left ear and now I'm freaking out.
With leg weakness I've had it for 3 months, and anxiety can cause this. Sitting with chest pain for 2 weeks isn't smart or shortness of breath. And not being able to get to a Dr because they're so busy doesn't really help. I'm only certain when a Dr has ruled it out with every test available
Has anyone experienced fibromyalgia symptoms? I’m always in pain somehow and have been for the past year. If it’s not my burning knees and hips, it’s my nerve pain, if it’s not that it’s my back. Sometimes I get all the pain at same time :/ I get flareups with sometimes only a day or two in between a break. :/ I’m trying to figure out if it’s fibromyalgia or if it’s health anxiety. Sometimes the pain gets so bad it makes me nauseous.
Well anxiety centre says it's same thing I've got this years always one symptom constant it's in my shoulders armpits everyday get worse to terrible have heal.pain.when get up to years neurologist says migrainne in the body central sentization rhumo says hypomobility fybro spectrum
Great video. It was calming and reassuring and yet was getting me all hype like I had been drinking green tea all day. Just punched my forearm and told it to burn next tuesday...jaj
I have had them for three years daily. I also had a Facebook friend who had them and hers vanished once she stopped worrying about them. She had an MRI scan which came back fine. I haven’t had a scan as she told me it’s just anxiety.
Pls help me , I have face and head tingling and pain sensation on different sides of my face coming n going and 1 ear ringing ear but all reports normal even mri , anyone with this and any solution, pls share

@Shaheen Sultana I have the same thing. Worries me to the point of having Anxiety and causing me to loose appetite. Have a scheduled CT scan and MRI this week so we'll see.
I am like so close to this phase where you are right now Cherelle, and again, I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making this video. This makes the next step for me so much clearer. Coz i do have the 'enemy' in sight. It's not the symptoms, its the anxiety. I'm still checking once in a while and resisting the urges to check. And every once in a while I do get that idea of 'you know what? I'm not doing this anymore. It's been going great, I have had a nice couple of peaceful days. I don't wanna revisit those emotions again of panic and dread.' And the idea I do get is 'I'm feeling so well and peaceful, I'm just gonna risk it' Fuck it!'. But I couldn't word it as well as you did in this video. So thank you for helping me to formulate this in my brain, how to for good stop checking and also know I can still be 'responsible' and really learn to trust myself that I will able to make the right judgement if I need to get help for something actually urgent.
Hello may name is shumila iam healthy anxiety suffering my heart rate is high iam vare sad please help me answer me acg is normal bat heart rate is high 😭
Hi, our heartrate is naturally high when we're stressed and anxious. Thats part of the fight or flight response. It can be a visious cycle when you stress about that heartbeat and it gets even faster. You can try some breathing exercise (just slow, relaxed breathing) and see if your heartrate goes down a bit. after some getting used to it, i think it will.
Maam im male, 22 years, is our neck and groin lymph can be felt on palpation, like are they swollen, like i cant see them visually but on palpation, small, about size of pea can be felt on neck and right groin area
Yes as a doctor I can confirm. People can feel lymph nodes in neck and groin especially if you are skinny. But even normal people can feel lymph nodes.
