Hello everyone,

I've been suffering from terrible panic attacks (which eventually went away, and now I can control them) and generalized anxiety for about 2 years. I am 24 years old, and male.

Recently, every single morning, I wake up with extreme pain in my entire body. It is EXTREMELY similar to having the flu, but I'd say far more painful than the typical flu. it keeps me in bed for a good 2 hours unless I have to work. It usually wears off by the end of the day, but I suffer for a good half of my day.


Doctors are clueless and my appointment with a nuero is scheduled out 4 months... Is this anxiety? and how is it possible that even when I go to bed relaxed and calm I wake up in extreme achy pain all over my body for hours? I'm afraid it will end up being something like MS or ALS. As I'm typing this, my legs feel weak to walk on and my arms are sore. This makes absolutely no sense.


If anxiety can cause this extreme achy burning pain for hours ONLY in the morning, how and why? IF anyone might know another disease or illness I could get checked for that might cause this I'd appreciate it. Recently I started getting Fasiculations (muscle twitching) all over my body as well. I don't know how many more days I can wake up in complete agony. Please any advice or thoughts would be appreciated as the doctors take forever to get in to and I need to figure this out. Also, please tell me it's not MS I did a brain scan and only one white matter spot showed up, but the radiologist said it was likely due to trauma / infection rather than demyelination.

Thank you, I am so close to giving up.
