I have so many medical conditions that cause me pain. I have multiple sclerosis, Endometriosis, PCOS, Bulging discs and arthritis in my back, and I've really had a rough time getting adequate treatment
Treatments

- It worked for about 6 months then stopped working, even with increased dosage.

- Rebif Too Soon to Tell

Open Anxiety
I have an anxiety disorder thats become pretty bad. Currently being treated by professionals and looking for support and maybe more understanding of why this is happening.
Treatments
- Atarax Somewhat Helpful
- In the beginning this is what I started on but it stopped being helpful as my anxiety became increasingly worse.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- I have only had one attack where my Ativan didn't work so far. Otherwise it does a good job.
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- Depends on the severity of the attack.
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- I have been taking this for years for depression. Since the anxiety disorder is a newer thing, I'm not totally sure of the effects Lexapro has on the anxiety itself.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- Again, this helps depending on the severity of my attacks.
