I have had them everyday come and go for 5 days straight. Usually I get them for a couple hours one day and not have another flare for about a week. I've tried the oh so famous breathing technics, they only help the mild ones which I don't get them much usually they are full bored folded up on...
I just watched an item on tv about anxiety.
I honestly didn't realize so many people didn't know how anxiety felt....I kind of assumed if you had been dumped or gone through a bad relationship break up or faced other even tougher times like getting a chronic illness or many other things like...

They always say the Eskimo/Inuit have X number of words for snow...I think we should have a bunch of words for pain.
There's that burning pain, tingling pain, dull ache, needles in my joints pain, seizing pain, muscle spasmy pain, hit by a truck pain (a morning favorite). There's also one I...
