If you can get there maybe a doctors appointment and some blood work done so you can nip this in the bud.

Sounds like it could be a swollen gland. Are u on antibiotics, might need to be. Make an appt. with your GP just to be safe. Understand the anxiety, i take klonopin, helps some. I take lunesta to sleep, works well for me. Hope u feel better soon.

Each year there is more and more virus's going around. I get sick more often in the fall and winter so I try to fight back with vitamins, exercise, eating right and sleeping as much as possible. Anxiety is so difficult to deal with sometimes especially at bedtime when your brain is racing. My seroquel knocks me out, so I do okay with that. Maybe your pdoc can help you with the sleep issue. I hope you feel better. I know how crumy it feels to be anxious, depressed and physically unhealthy. Luv and hugs

Hey - I found this great site which had some sleep yoga - its been helping me as sleep is always a major issue for me which ends up resulting in further more serious issues. Its cool and has worked for me recently.

Intense anxiety can drop you immunity. That happened to me one year when I had a lot of stress on me. Then things got better and I never was sick. I don't get sick often unless I'm under lots of stress.

I'm not sure what meds you are on, but Seroquel is not only an awesome psych med...it is also an Antihistamine. (Like Benadryl...keeps your head and sinuses and allergies clear) i used to get sick all the time too...not since Seroquel.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
