I have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks and self harm for about 20 years. Just recently (2months ago) i was diagnosed with OCD thought. This past 3 weeks have been like utter crap. I had a massive panic attack about 3 1/2 weeks ago and then my IBS start playing up. Just when i started feeling better i had a coughing fit and coughed up a dkt of lood whuch sent me ive board. I was obsessing over my spit for a week and just when i thought i was coming good. I wake up yesterday with massive pain in my groin going doen my leg. I was weak, lethargic and felt nauseous all day. My nerves were at its Wits End and constanly anxious all day. I saw my doc she said it was nothing and that it was probs from chafing. I said why do i feel so sick, like a stomoch bug was the way i felt and she said anxiety does this. By 9pm that night i was on the verge of having a massive panic attack andq went to the hospital. They checked me over and did bloods and couldnt find anything and put it down to my anxiety making feel do sick. I woke this morning so weak like i still have a bug and heart racing feel like my nerves are shot all day long, i couldn't cope anymore so i ended up selfharming.
DOES ANYONE ELSE GET SICK, LIKE THEY HAVE A BUG BUT IT FEELS LIKE AN UNDERLYING ISSUE AND IS CONSTANTLY ANXIOUS. THIS IS DAY 2 OF ME BEING SICK THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS MY ANXIETY?????

Pain going down the leg is NOT chafing. I recently had my first relapse in a decade of neuralgia (nerve pain of unknown origin) in my Lateral Femoral Cutaneous (LFQ) nerve, which is the biggest sensory nerve in the body but isn't your problem--it runs down the outside of the thigh and calf. The sciatic, the largest motor nerve, is in the back of the leg. I'm not a doctor, but I do speak shockingly good medical Latin and have been a health-care and home-care provider for thirty years.

Ain't IBS fun? I became symptomatic in 1997 but did not get listened to by a doctor until 2009. Lucky for me, there's a smooth-muscle relaxer that keeps it in check. Mostly.

I'm a mostly-retired self-harmer as well, though with the current stresses in my life EVERYONE is keeping an eye on me for relapses.

The only thing I can think of offhand to recommend if it wasn't part of the bloodwork they did is get your endocrine levels checked, especially thyroid. And hang in there--I'm at a point where I'm about to be forced out of my home of 8 years because a neighbor refuses to respect that my allergy to her is now lethal, and I have panic attacks IN MY SLEEP. I am bloody well determined to get help and get through this, and I will keep you in my thoughts and heart in hopes that you can too.
