Anxiety | Arthritis Information

 

I have been having so much anxiety the past few days. I feel like I need to run in a circle. What do you guys do? I cant figure out why I would be so anxious.

Hi Lesle
I went through a similar thing and was diagnosed with GAD - generalised anxiety disorder. I was worrying about EvRYTHING all day. Eventually I went on Celexa, an antidepressant and in two weeks I was back to my normal self. I really did not want another drug but phew, thank goodness I took it. I took it for 8 months and have been ok for the last 2 years.
Anxiety is not good for your RA.
Another thing you could take is a low dose tranquiliser - I probalbly take 6 a year for the odd bad day.
Good Luck
(anxiety is worse than RA....!)
