Severe Anxiety and other questions
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2018 12:00 pm
Hi All,
I know you can't give medical advice but I would like to know what anxiety meds are some of you on? I am having anxiety attacks on and off all day. It is hard to function as it is but with this level of anxiety it is almost impossible. The fear is almost paralyzing. I have had some anxiety in the past but this is horrible. I am seeing my PCP either tomorrow or Friday and am going to ask for something. I am super sensitive to all meds so I need something mild that I don't have to take everyday for it to work. Is there anything out there that fits that criteria?
Also I am looking for the posts that give you the the tests you should have your potential stool donor take? My donor is very healthy, has not taken antibiotics for over 20 years and very seldom is sick. She has eaten very healthy all her life. The only thing that might halt this is she takes thyroid meds for low thyroid. She does not know if she has hashimoto's. I have hashimoto's so would that be considered a no go for this donor? Also she is 72.
I was in the hospital again overnight because my sodium levels were quite low again, this has happened 3 times in the past 2and a half months. The c-diff apparently broke through the twice a day Vanco while I was waiting for the dificid and I was having bm's 6-8 times per day that were soft liquid.I get very symptomatic and feel like I am dying when symptoms escalate. I am now on dificid the last one and a half days and am seeing much improvement. I will have my FMT on 5-04. I am praying it works as I don't think I can take much more emotionally. I feel I will not get better as I have been on antibiotics for 2 and a half months straight and was absolutely overmedicated which I now know causes this dreadful cycle. I need re-assurance and no one really understands what is this is like.
