Hello,

I have fibro and im currently feeling really anxious. Ive got it into my head that because my muscles are aching and ive got mottled skin tone that ive got meningitis! Im now in such a flap, getting hot and heavy breathing so i thought writing on here might help. this is the latest one , everyday I think ive got a major disease like cancer or am going to drop down dead because of a heart attack because i get chest pain. This happens mainly at night when im alone in my room. Can anyone else relate to this? I always feel that I should go straight to the doctors or A and E and have done only to be told "everythings fine" but Ive always got it in my head "well what if I dont go and there really is something wrong next time" . I am on sertraline for the anxiety which has been helping but isnt going away completely. There are so many symptoms I experience that I find it hard to believe it is all down to fibro rolleyes I am 21

    Yes Holly this another thing that always worries me. Mine is predominantly right sided. Don't know if it's because it's my dominant side or because of my posture but it's ten times worse than my left !
