    • About Me

      I am a 42 year old homemaker. I have a loving husband of 18 years of marriage and a 17 year old son, soon to be 18 and off to college. I suffer from fibromyalgia now for about 15 years. I have also been diagnosed with Chronic Pain sndrome and myofascial Pain Syndrome. I have good days and I have really bad ones. I am also a cardio patient as a result of a heart attack at the age of 36. I do not belong to any other suupport groups and never have,so this is my first experience with one.

    • Close Anxiety

      I developed anxiety and Severe panic disorder many years ago. I don't know why, but I'm told it can be inherited.At age 36, I had a heart attack(clogged artery,99%),and I had previosly gone to the hospital for chest pains, but they always blamed my anxiety. This time was no different, until one Doc decided to give me an echocardiogram and I was in the middle of a rather large heart attack. So, when I get chest pains from anxiety, it just adds more anxiety, thinking "heart" again.Vicious cycle.

      Treatments

      Xanax Working / Worked
      taken for years,it doesn't work as well as it used to, sue to tolerance of medication.
