    They always blame the anxiety for all my symptoms too. But I demanded blood test when I was there on Thursday and she gave in, so I'm having them on Tuesday.

      Makes me wonder if I should get mine checked.

      I think sometimes they overlook the obvious.

      I had pains in my arm last year and the doc said it was anxiety and gave me diazepam lol It turned out to be a trapped nerve smile xxx

      I think I might. I've never had it checked before so if it's not causing all my problems,there's a possibility it's causing some. I'm at the hospital next week so I will see if they can send me for some blood tests xx

    So glad for you I had thyroidtoxicosis when I was thirty thought it was anxiety, finally went to the doctor and he tested me. It can back for high thyroid . So glad I got it fixed made a whole of difference.
