    Sounds like you're going through something very similar to me, but I've had on/off nights sweats too.

    I'm at about week 8 and am still sensitive to cold too.

    Hi Max,

    Have you just started medication or are you describing your anxiety symptoms in general? I had a flare up of anxiety several weeks ago and when I get it I get it bad. I can assure you this is all just a side effect of anxiety. I have had them all in the past few days aside from muscle cramps and spasms, but then I get badly affected with fogginess, jumbled and repetitive thoughts on top of that. The stress response lowers your immune system so it may well be that you've picked up a small bug or infection on top of it. Keep your water high and get to bed at a reasonable time, try not to worry about it because it really is just a symptom. You'll do great.

      Do you think there is something behind it?

      Symptoms come on their own and it feels annoying to have them BACK until they go away

      Don't know what cause them

      Really tired

      Alright. After a relapse you always gotta think in terms of lifestyle. Works for Me, and I dropped the ball on that so had a relapse too.

    Described my symptoms to a t! I also had buzzing feeling on my feet and numbness on different places. I still have the eye floaters but pay them no mind. The flashed I saw a few times I noticed I got them more with headaches that lasted a few days. I hope it gets better for you!!!
