    hi Millie, for me i was diagnosed about few weeks back by a GP. I was skeptical as i didnt know how it could lead to what was called Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD). It started with like nausea, weakness all over my body, dry at the end of tongue ,numbness and pins and needles. it was a bad attack that went away quickly but became a common occurence over the past one month plus. some days i feel ok though i feel my body is not mine somewhat as i dont seem to have the enthusiasm to go out much anymore . i have very similar symptoms to yours including tension at the jaw which is daily. and not sure if u or any of the ladies here have this feeling of 'blood draining from your body' feeling . thats the worst feeling ever . its like everytime it happens i feel like i am going to die. i have been to 3 GPs and both said its anxeity and 1 wanted to put me on a long term medication on anti-depressants. i am thinking if anxiety does this to your body on a daily basis ? i am quite frightened and feel helpless and unsure if its something else and so i just did another blood test as my last blood test was 8 months back and didntvshow up with anything. would appreciate if anyone can share if anxiety does this on an almost daily basis and how do any of you try to manage or cope with it? somehow i feel like i can never get back to feeling normal again .

    you are not alone!! i am also having terrible anxiety for the past week it just came out of no where!! i feel like a failure and i hate that my family have to see me like this. im going to see my GP to see if its not because of menopause as im 47 and my periods are nearly non existent. keep fighting hour by hour day by day - we are all in this together!
