Anxiety or something worse???

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi all.

I don't know whether the symptoms I suffer are from "mild" fibromyalgia, health anxiety (which I have) or something else.

Symptoms I frequently suffer include:

Aching muscles and joints

Lymph pain (but no swelling)

Sore mouth/white tongue (at back)

Back acne (upper)

Headaches

Impaired wound healing

Dry skin

Stomach pains/bowel problems

Pins and needles (alot) in hands.

Body numbness

Fatigue

"thin" skin

Body hair loss (on chest)

I've had numerous blood tests including:

Immunology/White cell count

Urine and stool samples

Tests on thyroid

All STI tests including hiv and hepatitis

Caeliac test

Basic bloods

Testosterone levels.

All docs found on first tests was low folic acid (which is now okay again) and recently low Vitamin D.

They also diagnosed IBS.

I find it almost impossible to believe that anxietyor low vitamin D can cause all this.

I'm at my wits end to as what I may have and it worries me daily.

Anyone else with similar/same symptoms feel free to message.

      I can also relate to the yellow/dark urine and armpit pain

      I've been suffering my problems for nearly two years and each day differs in severity but there's never a day when I'm symptom free.

      My main worry is the impaired healing and hair loss. I literally only have to rub my chest and see that hairs have dropped.

      Google is scary because according to that I have severe health issues, yet the doctors say different. 🤔😣

    I suffer from anxiety as well but for the past 3 weeks or so have also had really odd symptoms. Deep muscle aches, tingling in arms and hands, occasional shooting pain in chest, tingling in head, shortness of breath, nausea when i eat. Not sure if its just really bad anxiety as i also always feel like a cloud of dread and panic is around. I have had x rays for my chest and bloods and have ruled that out. Not sure what is going on either!
