Medical Attention!

In this post, I said I would start to talk about medication and treatments but something that I feel is more important came up in the the last few days!

Regarding the end of my last post, I still cannot stress enough how important it is to seek sound medical help if you have any type of panic or anxiety symptoms! I recently found out I am positive for lyme disease. I would never have known this if I didn't seek professional medical help from a doctor that I trust. Many of the symptoms of lyme(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease) are triggers, similar, or a cause of anxiety, panic attacks, and even depression!

It is important for any person going through any type of health problem to seek help from a doctor that you feel comfortable with and trust completely. I have been through a ton of bad experiences with doctors until I finally found the one that is right for me!

I find that especially with anxiety and panic, that this is really important. Some doctors don't take patients completely seriously if they feel that their symptoms aren't bad enough to warrant anything too serious! This is a false assumption of course, and you as a person need to learn to trust your own instincts. Your body gives you signs for a reason if something is wrong -whether it is mental or physical. If you feel something is wrong, no matter how big or small, you have a right as a human being to seek help! Don't let a doctor push you out their door without answering your questions. Remember: you are paying for their service, so get what you pay for!

The most important things to remember in your experiences with panic and anxiety are to trust your instincts and seek help that you can trust!
