I have moved to another state a few years ago. The state I was in I had a dr and we started on getting my fibro dianosed, but we had to suddenly move. I have been trying to get a primary dr here to help finish the process and I have not had any luck as of yet. It is really hard for me to go to the dr due to panic attacks which I am not on anything for.
I am a bit stressed out over everything and so I am having panic attacks with my flares and now my acid reflux is coming back. I am taking something for that. I freak out when it all hits like tonight.
My chest,back neck,shoulders knees and hips are sore. I have been doing some light stretch but that only helps for a little while. My heartburn kicked in and my panic attacks are hitting maing my heart race. I can't sit still long enough to try and do my mediation breathing.
Please some one help me talk myself down. It is pointless going to the ER here because I have no way there and back if it is just a fibro attacks, which it is.
I am sorry to be a pain in the butt but I don't know what else to do.

Please, never feel like you are a "pain in a butt." This is the place for you to come and ask for support and advise. Most of the people here totally understand you pain and your frustration from lack of help for the pain.
I noticed that simple deep breathing helps, then again, I don't get panic attacs, so I don't know how severe they can get.
I know that what helps me sometimes when I'm just hopeless cause my pain is out of control and I have no energy to do anything, is reading other's posts on here. Just reading about how they cope with the same issues I deal with, helps. Knowing that what I'm going through is not just me, helps also.
It is sad at the same time, to know that so many people suffer like I do because I would not wish this on my worst enemy.
Is there a way for you to get some medical help for your panic attacs and for your pain. Maybe since your PCP is not helping you, it is time for a new doctor? I know how finding a doctor who listens and cares is not easy, and I don't know your situation as insurance and paying for doctors go. Unfortunately, this is the best advice I can offer at this time.
I am so sorry that you are having such a difficult time. Please know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad you are on this site because in the last couple weeks, since I've been in a bad flare, people on here have been such a blessing to me.
Sending soft hugs.
but I dont need a referral to a specialist for my insurance.
If you're having joint pain, that alone should be enough to send you to a rheumatologist,,,,,,,I'd simply tell the PCP that you're having joint pain and want to see a rheumy,,,,,,,
I can't imagine he'd give you a problem.
