In reply to Anxiety - I'm running out of options, posted by tiopenster on September 8, 2009, at 13:59:55
Sounds like a nightmare. So sorry you're going through this.
I have a couple of thoughts. I don't mean to minimize your suffering or be disrespectful.
It's just that sometimes I think doctors don't look at really simple things. I know mind has never mentioned these:
Regarding anxiety....caffeine and sugar can both lead to anxiety. My daughter recently was reading me an article that told of numerous people losing anxiety AND panic attacks after having removed caffeine from their diets for some time. I'm in the process myself of stopping caffeine - 5 days without it now.
I would guess that the more unacceptable this thought seems, the more likely that your body is dependant on caffeine & the more chance that removing it from your diet might help. After all you've been through, it certainly might be worth a try?
Also, food allergies can sometimes cause unusual symptoms.
Just a couple of thoughts since the pharaceutical method seems to be running into brick walls.
Keep us posted as to how you're doing.
Warm thoughts, Kath
