hey mzdawn, im sorry to hear about the attacks, they sound scary. It sounds as though you\'ve just been prescribed different pill after different pill but have gotten no real answers. You are on the medical conveyer belt :/ which is so frustrating! my advice is, listen to your body cause no one can do that as well as you no matter how much education they have. if you believe something else is wrong do research, have a daily calendar to write your symptoms daily, and find a doctor who will listen! good luck!
And as far as being alone, you are not crazy, i hate that word! look at all your tribe family here, we all got issues haha! keep your hope alive, you are so young!
your not crazy your symptoms are real the only good thing is they are not life threatening as they say. Anxiety sucks sooo baaadd. It is a living hell but it can be defeated.
