Dear Janet
I have'nt been on the board for a while, but I feel the need to respond to
this email after experiencing the same thing.
I was diagnosed with panic attacks april 2000, and have been on anti
depressants since that time.I know how awlful and terrifying they can be,
but the medication has mine under control.
What was interesting at the time that they started was 1) I was in a great
deal of pain most of the time and 2) I did some reading and asked my doctor
to take blood to see how my hormone levels were, and I was'nt producing much
estrogens, so I was put on to HRT and that really helped . I really thought
I was losing my mind and I felt useless to stop them.
Since beening on the meds and HRT I have'nt had one in 8 months and hope I
don't have anymore, I never suffered from anxiety before, but found it even
impossible to go out of the house for a month until the meds worked
properly.
I did mention to my Gyno that I had these attacks and he said no wonder with
the amount of Adhesions and pain you have been through.
So what I am trying to say in a very round about way is there is light at
the end of the tunnel, they will stop and you will feel better, the pain and
hormones seemed to trigger mine, go and see your doctor and see what they
have to say.
love
helen g
