Hi there, everyone. First of all I want to say thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and help me. I am so scared and anxious. I first have to say that I have anxiety. I had what I think was a big panic attack about 2 months ago and it has been downhill since then. I have a large amount of stress in my life too. So, here goes. After my panic attack, I felt like one side of my chin was heavier than the other...that's it. It made me scared and I worried about it too much so I got a prescription for Zoloft. When I moved up to 50mg (the does I was prescribed) I started having "icy-hot" feeling all over my body...and shakiness. A couple of days later the icy-hot sensation ended. My heavy face feeling even ended. But the shaking continued and I felt hot a lot...like hot flashes. Ok, so, I also have sub-clinical hyperthyroidism and one of the symptoms is shakiness...so we decided to taper off the zoloft to see if the shakiness was from it or the thyroid. I tapered to 25 mg and it was soon after that when I got my last bout of symptoms...heaviness in my whole body. Arms, legs, head. on both sides. I am still shaky and ALL of my muscles just feel sooo weak...like I can't hold up my spine very well. I am having panic attacks a lot in the last week too. I have since started another anxiety med and a thyroid med. Anyway, I just wondered if you all thought this could all be MS? I just feel like my entire body is so heavy and I am weak and shaky everywhere. I have also woken up to both feet being asleep or both arms being asleep. Is MS like this? I am SO scared. I have googled and googled and I am wondering if I am perhaps causing some of the symptoms myself? Thank you so much for your responses.
