I am "just" sleepy and anxious....soon I will be "normal" (ha ha!)

Well.... we are finally coming to the end of all the doctor's visits and testing and all is well (mostly). They have determined that the most significant yet easiest to treat problem is the Anxiety which is moderate with social phobias, http://www.socialphobia.org/whatis.html the Fibromyalgia is causing alot of the pain and sleep disruption, and I have daytime sleepiness (borderline narcolepsy). I should see alot of improvement with most of the issues I have been having now that we are treating the Anxiety. There are some minor health issues but nothing major.

I am kind of relieved to know that many did not know I was having so much trouble. I worked very hard to keep it under raps and laugh it off, but it became increasingly hard to cover and was just taking too much energy and became too isolating. A few dear friends and family members had to put up the the waterworks and constant nervousness and over emotional episodes so they new something was up but, most did not suspect the anxiety, especially not the social anxiety because I am so "talkative" and I was good at hiding it.

Hopefully, in a week or two my mind will regain focus and alertness, I will have energy and some strength and I will be calm (first time in a long time), and rested. Until then the nervousness, over emotionalness, always rechecking myself and asking for reminders will probably remain to keep me on task, but should be less annoying.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Thanks for all the Support, Encouragement and Prayers :)

Yeah I definitely had no idea, and I appreciate the time you've taken to explain things in detail so at least I wasn't confused! I'm glad you're getting some answers. Aren't there a handful of treatments available for fibromyalgia now? I think I've seen a commercial for one or two different products, and that stuff for RLS is used for it. Good luck with your course of treatment!
