I was mostly panic free for 5 years.

Now, I am back with the program, today. Back to square one. I never made it through the full program the first time in 2003. I abandoned it when i started feeling better. Now, well I don't know. But just yesterday I was in immediate care for a panic attack.

Same thing: EKG = perfect. Thyroid = perfect. Anemia = nope. And all of the other tests = PERFECT. I am a model of what should be perfect health. I am a marathon trainer. I run almost every day.

Yet, here I am. Always tingling, swaying, feeling faint, disoriented...scared. Jelly legs, tightness in my chest, heart RACING..RACING...RACING...for hours and hours even after a run. Until finally, soooooooo tired.

It's hard. It's very hard. I understand the tingling...it's annoying and worrisome. Let's try NOT to worry so much. We do this to ourselves, right?

For the record: 50mg Zoloft/day.
Xanax .50mg for times when I "need it". Although, I rarely take it. In five years I can count on one hand the times I've taken it - because it takes me away from my life - makes me so sleepy.
