    Hi sboverly! I feel bad that you are going thru this plus your husband health .let me tell you i can't count how many times i have been to emergency , they started to rrol their eyes when they will see me so i changed emergency, i wish i had a mri machine and ekg everyminute of the day because my symptoms are unbeliveble if thy will not show up i will be better, like right now my mouth is numb my speach is funny and my head on the back in the size of a dime hurts like shooting pain.if i tell my family they will be" here goes again".i take xanax only when needed wich is everyday.i try not but i can't.if i drop dead someday on my tomb i wanted in writing " i told you i was sick"there is no test or doc that can change our minds that we r ok.im tired of this shit, every day getting up and thinking what will i have today, will it be my heart my head or something new, trust me nothing is new i had all symptomsposible they stay for weeks and then some other boollshit will show up.take care and make the best of this hell we are in.you can write and talk any time i know i can't help but we can share our day .

    Hi ten, I understand what your going through!! I've been trying not to think about it and not to go to the ER, today it's been far left chest pain and pain/weird feeling in my left arm but not always at the same time, I too have gone to get an EKG to feel better, I may go to my dr tomorrow just to have my vitals checked and try for an EKG since they do them there, but I'm going to try a half an Arivan for tonight. Please let me know how it goes with you <3 in my heart and prayers

    Hi Ten!! How was your EKG? I'm thinking about calling and setting up yet another appointment with my Dr office, due to my arm, left shoulder blade area and left chest pains. It's probably muscle tension but still scares me so I figure vitals and stuff might help ease my mind. I get on/off where it feels I'm not getting enough air but I don't know if its the anxiety. Also, like I said before, I'm constantly worrying about my kidneys/bladder right now, I even cancelled my MRI because I was scared to do the contrast because of it. I'm going to try to get them to do blood work again on my kidneys, I'm hoping they will even though they just did it March 20th! I dunno honestly what I'm going to do today lol. As far as the Xanax, have you talked to your doctor about Ativan? It works the same way but it much milder than Xanax. It's what I use, I'm prescribed .5mg as needed but I break them in half and they work good for me, but, I try to deal as much/long as I can before giving in to it because I'm hoping that the Citalopram (Celexa) will work and I won't need the Ativan. But, it could help with less side effects as well as help you wean off with less withdrawal issues. smile keep me posted!! <3
