Ouch. My sympathy, Raoul.

I would say I'm about a 4 today. I'm surprisingly calm.

Also not a doctor

I think I'm about a 8. Trying to drink alcohol. Big no no. But it sucks beingyoung and not being able to do anything with friends. Heart is all a flutter. Good thing if ur in a romantic comedy but bad if u have an anxiety disorder

@Zetsubou, I think 4 is a good number. I have been a 4 a few times but usually I am above 5 as far as my anxiety goes. My panic is actually in the 1-2 range now. I can deal with the panic attacks. They are not actually that bad anymore. The constant feeling of anxiety and inner turmoil inside is what is killing me now.

I am still at about a 6.5 today I think. I may go back up on my valium for a few days to see if that helps any. Hope everyone else is doing better!

Am hanging on by my thumbs.

Refused to lower my beta blocker per cardiologys request. No way. Going to be a tough month now. BP is a bit low at 85/50...

Wrists and arms are in splints for carpal tunnel.....very painful.

Cancer treatment is still a big problem.

Anxiety level is down to 9.9. But still very anxious...

I am not a doctor - and my advice is purely from my personal experience and my opinion!!

Wow Rauol, you have a lot on your plate. Keep hanging on friend. I often wish I could go back to my early 20's and just remain stuck there. About age 22-23, life was good and zero medical problems. You seem like a tough, determined guy Rauol despite all your medical challenges. It would be really nice if we could all just feel like we wanna feel in our minds and have the good feeling last. Life really loses something when you awake every morning and have to fight with these chronic health challenges. A lot of energy is wasted just trying to feel better each day. I wish it would just occur naturally instead of having to try hard each day.
