I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder with agoraphobia 6 years ago. I am disabled due to this, I worry constantly about everything in life. the past year I’ve began to develop uncontrolled twitching in my arms, my arms will begin to jerk and my hands claw up at times. It is usualy just something that happens at all times, usually when Im feeling sorta relaxed. It’s not all the time but about 10 times a day where I clench my neck muscles under my jaw and my entire arms tighten at the same time and my hand goes into a claw for about 3 seconds at a time…I feel a wierd tickly sensation in my neck when I do this, or sometimes I’ll just sit there and my arm will flale to my side in a nervous movement. The past year I’ve also developed severe nerve pain in my arms and weakness in my arms and legs, this happens in cycles…I’ll get it every 2 months roughly, (about every 6 to 8 weeks) It’ll come on abruptly, sudden nerve pain and weakness feeling like I am going to collapse, it comes in waves for and entire week. Again it hits me every 6 to 8 weeks and lasts for a week and during that week, I hurt to the bone, my nerves feel like they are on fire and it comes in really horrible waves. I’ll be ok one minute then next minute I feel a rush of energy hit me and I begin to get horrible pain in both forearm and bicep muscles and terrible pain that runs from them into my hands…I even hurt at times between my bones in my hands…its vague pain…its hard to describe but its like a deep tissue nerve pain..it’ll hit usually my arms and legs at the same exact time, sometimes just my arms, but its always both arms at the same time..its never just one side or the other, always both left and right side, and the pain is in my shoulders in my trap muscle area and goes down to the muscles around my collar bone and across my back just below my shoulders…I went to my doctor he says it must be anxiety related but he is puzzled…he said people that are suffering disabling anxiety seem to suffer from a broad range of physical ailments…nobody is quite the same, everyone has their own type of pains and he said in the medical profession they call it semantics… he said its basically imagined pain if that makes sense…he said he didnt want to sound ignorant about it but its basically the heavy load of stress in my mind making my body react this way and me not being on any sort of any anxiety medicine (due to my fear of medicines) is making me worse…..I just want to get some other opinions out there…I am scared because this pain I experience is freaking me out and makes me feel like im going to die. It’s brutal and I don’t know what to do about it..I want to take medicine but am scared to death of meds yet am scared to continue living this hell I live…thanks alot for reading…it is much appreciated…
